Danny Dyer and Stephen Graham join for Adolescence-like show
The new drama promises to be "gritty" and "unflinching" in its approach, according to an insider.
EastEnders star Danny Dyer and Stephen Graham working together on an Adolescence-like show
Talking with The Mirror, the source said: "They are currently thrashing out what they want to do. It'll be in the vein of Adolescence. Something unflinching and moving.'
Adolescence, which was co-created and co-written by This Is England favourite Stephen Graham, recently broke records when it premiered on Netflix, seeing it become the most-watched show of the year.
The Four-part series starts with the arrest of 13-year-old Jamie (played by Owen Cooper) when armed police storm the family home. Over the course of the show, it explores misogyny among teenage boys.
The Last time Graham and EastEnders star Danny Dyer worked together was all the way back in 2009, when they both starred in the British slapstick horror film Doghouse.

Previously, Danny called on Stephen to get him involved in one of his projects and praised Adolesence.
Danny said: 'It's such an important subject, but the fact they're doing it in one take. As an actor and being part of that world I find it f****** incredible.
"So, Steve, you've got to roll me into something. I want a bit of this!'
