Adolescence star Owen Cooper, 15, wins huge award – after getting the day off school to attend glitzy NY ceremony
ADOLESCENCE star Owen Cooper has bagged a top international prize after skipping school to attend a glitzy ceremony in New York. The rising actor, 15, jetted to the Big Apple to celebrate his win and rubbed shoulders with big names as he proudly flew the flag for British talent. 5 5 Owen - who plays troubled teen Jack in the hit coming-of-age drama - wowed judges with his emotional performance, beating out fierce competition from across the globe. He won the Gotham TV Award for Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Limited Series. Taking to the stage, Owen said: "Main person that I have to thank is Erin, who is also nominated for this award. "That episode that we did together, it was easy to do it with you and it was such an honour to share this, share this award with you. "You deserve this award just as much as I do, so round of applause for Erin please." He added: "And I also want to thank Philip Barantini, Joe Johnson, Stephen Graham and I want to thank Hannah Walters. "I just want to thank everyone that was part of the Adolescence cast and crew, everyone that was there." He concluded: "Who else, my parents for creating me. Yeah but that's about it. Thanks to Gotham awards for handing me this award." The gritty drama bagged three Gotham Awards - with Owen's co-stars Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty also up for gongs. The teen was allowed to extend his half-term holidays from school so he could attend the event. The TV teen sensation is racking up trophies left, right and centre - and could soon make Emmy history. The young Brit has already scooped IndieWire's Breakthrough Award, and insiders say he's a sure-fire nominee for an Emmy, where he could become the youngest-ever male winner in the 76-year history of the ceremony. TV insiders have called it a 'genius move' to place him in the Supporting category instead of Lead, giving him a major edge. But Owen is keeping his feet firmly on the ground - recently insisting he's more focused on 'doing well at school' than cleaning up on the red carpet. The four-part series explores the story of the fictional Miller family, whose lives are turned upside down when their 13-year-old-son Jamie is arrested on suspicion of murder having been radicalised online. It reached 24.3million views in its first four days and been hailed the most important show of the year. Now it has been said Netflix is keen to explore options to extend the format to further series. A TV source said: 'Execs are thrilled by the results and acclaim for Adolescence. 'It's seen as a format that can run and run, at least to a second series if not further, as it could take in a different teen issue each series. 'The topic has resonated with viewers because it taps into parents biggest fear and there's plenty of scope for more in the same vein. 'Stylistically, the one-take creative approach could become the hallmark of the series. It's one of the aspects which has got everyone talking.' 5 5 5

I Did Not Think I Would Type Enola Holmes And Adolescence In The Same Sentence, But Millie Bobby Brown's Threequel Announcement Is Full Of Surprises
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. What do Netflix's Adolescence and Enola Holmes have in common? Well, nothing on the surface. In fact, they couldn't be more different. However, they have a few very strong commonalities. One is that they're both big hits that can be streamed with a Netflix subscription, obviously. The second, and the more important one, is that they share a director and writer, Philip Barantini and Jack Thorne, respectively, as they are now both set to work on Enola Holmes 3. After creating and directing Adolescence, which has been one of the smash hits of the 2025 TV schedule, Thorne and Barantini are staying at Netflix to pen and direct the third Enola Holmes movie, respectively. Earlier this year, their crime drama series made waves due to its one-take episodes and intense story. So, with that in mind, Millie Bobby Brown and Louis Partridge announced their threequel's production with this delightfully fitting (and low-key stressful) oner: Now, Enola Holmes and Adolescence are two titles I never expected to write in the same sentence (with the exception of if they somehow wound up in Netflix's schedule around the same time). However, here we are. And their connection actually makes so much sense. Philip Barantini is a totally new addition to this world, with Enola Holmes 3 serving as his follow-up to Adolescence. Meanwhile, Jack Thorne is actually one of the masterminds behind both projects. He co-created and wrote the binge-worthy Adolescence, and for the last few months, all the focus has been on that. However, he is also one of the people behind Enola Holmes, another wickedly successful Netflix project. He wrote the screenplay for both of the films about Sherlock Holmes' younger sister, and he's writing the script for this third film as well. Read More About Enola Holmes Enola Holmes 2 Ending Explained: The Solve To The Mystery, And How The Sequel Sets Up The Future Now, Enola Holmes 3 will notably be the first film in this series that Harry Bradbeer didn't direct. While he did a good job with the first two, I have to admit the idea of having Barantini's voice in the mix to provide a new take on Milly Bobby Brown's character excites me. Plus, what makes this even better is that Barantini has a history with Thorne. They both played pivotal roles in Adolescence. I'd also assume that if Adolescence gets a Season 2, they'd collaborate again for it, considering how well their first installment was received. So, we know they know how to work together well, and hopefully, that means we'll be in for something special with Enola Holmes 3. I also hope it means we'll get some cool one-take shots in Enola Holmes. That method of filming was Adolescence's whole thing, and I think this Sherlock Holmes adjacent mystery could benefit from it too. These films have so much fast talking and amazing action in them, it'd be ten times more fun to see Enola in a walk and talk with one of her brothers or evading a bad guy while running through the streets in a shot that has no cuts. Now that we know Enola Holmes 3 is finally happening with such an exciting filmmaker, the fantasies about what could happen in it are flying around in my mind. According to Netflix, the movie will take place in Malta, where our favorite young crime solver will face 'a case more tangled and treacherous than she has faced before.' We also know that alongside Brown and Partidge, Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Sherlock and Himesh Patel will join the cast as Watson! Overall, this sounds like a project Philip Barantini and Jack Thorne can have a blast with, and I can't wait to see where they take this story now that they have Adolescence under their belts (hopefully, it includes some incredible oners).

'Adolescence 2' in talks? Brad Pitt's production company eyes sequel to Netflix's hit
The popular Netflix series Adolescence may be getting a sequel. Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B Entertainment, is in early talks with Netflix and director Philip Barantini for what could become a second season of the British crime drama. In a recent interview with Deadline, Plan B co-presidents Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner said that they are discussing the "next version" of the story with Barantini. The first season was co-created by actor Stephen Graham and writer Jack Thorne. Gardner said they want to expand the story without losing what made it special. Kleiner added they hope Graham and Thorne will return for the sequel. "Phil's style of doing the episodes in one take is not a gimmick. It's very much in conversation with the subject matter," Dede Gardner told Deadline. "In early conversations with Stephen and Jack, they were talking about how it's too easy to look away. You can look away from the school, you can look away from the police station, you can look away from the counseling, you can look away from the family. In that kind of prismatic way of viewing, you can duck the issue. So our theory was, what would happen if you couldn't look away? And will that make the subject embed in you in a different way? That was a thrilling thing," he added. Meanwhile, the popular crime miniseries Adolescence is still going strong on Netflix, as the British show has now reached the fourth spot on Netflix's Most Popular English TV list, climbing from ninth place just last week, reported Deadline. According to the publication, from March 31 to April 6, the show pulled in another 17.8 million views, indicating that viewers are still hooked on it even a month after its release. Adolescence is a British crime drama miniseries created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham and directed by Philip Barantini. The four-episode series follows the arrest of a 13-year-old schoolboy, Jamie Miller, played by Owen Cooper, who is accused of murdering a female classmate. What also makes the series a masterclass is that each episode is filmed in a single, continuous take. Graham, who is the co-creator of the show, also plays Eddie Miller, the father of the accused Jamie Miller. The series premiered on Netflix on March 13 and has received widespread critical acclaim for its writing, direction, and performances.
