Stephen Graham is heading back to Netflix for Adolescence, and a new trailer gives us a look at the thriller.

The series tells the story of how a family’s world is turned upside down when 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) is arrested for the murder of a teenage girl who goes to his school.

While the programme marks a reunion between Graham and Netflix, following the genre-bending detective drama Bodies, it also reunites Graham and Philip Barantini, who previously collaborated on the film Boiling Point, critically acclaimed for its one continuous shot. The series will again be a one-shot affair, with each of the four episodes filmed in a single take.

Created and written by Graham and Jack Thorne (The Swimmers, Joy), the film stars Graham as Jamie’s father and “appropriate adult”, Eddie Miller, alongside Ashley Walters as Detective Inspector Luke Bascombe, and Erin Doherty as Briony Ariston, the clinical psychologist assigned to Jamie’s case.

The Executive Producers are Mark Herbert and Emily Feller for Warp Films, Stephen Graham and Hannah Walters for Matriarch Productions, Jack Thorne for One Shoe Films, Philip Barantini for It’s All Made Up Productions, and Brad Pitt, Jeremy Kleiner, Dede Gardner and Nina Wolarsky for Plan B Entertainment. Carina Sposato (Plan B Entertainment), Peter Balm and Niall Shamma (Warp Films) serve as Co-Executive Producers. The Producer is Jo Johnson.

The series premieres on 13th March. Here’s the trailer:
