Although it was initially billed as a limited series, Adolescence may be eyeing a second season. During an interview with Deadline, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner, the co-presidents of Brad Pitt‘s Plan B Entertainment production banner, revealed that there have been discussions about potentially expanding the hit drama following its explosive success on Netflix last month. While they couldn’t share what plans for an expansion they had already discussed with director Philip Barantini, they said their hope was to “widen the aperture, stay true to its DNA [and] not be repetitive” while also reuniting co-creator and star Stephen Graham and writer Jack Thorne. It would almost certainly tell an entirely different story from Season 1’s tale of 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper).

Seeking another season for Adolescence isn’t surprising considering just how well it’s performed over a lengthy period on streaming. Released back on March 13, the heartbreaking drama recently became the streamer’s fourth most-watched English-language show of all time, with its 114.5 million views surpassed only by Wednesday Season 1, Stranger Things Season 4, and Dahmer: Monster — The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. In the U.K., it also became the first British streaming series ever to top the Barb Audiences weekly television ratings. Critics and audiences have overall been fans of the edge-of-your-seat storytelling as well, giving the series a 99% and 74% score, respectively, on Rotten Tomatoes. Gardner and Kleiner were thrilled for the success of the “seemingly small, localized, emotional story” and how it helped bring awareness to the influence of the manosphere on young men and how acts of violence can destroy an entire family.

From the beginning, when he first read Thorne’s pilot script, Pitt had a ton of faith in the series, according to the co-presidents. “He was part of the energy, drive, and impetus to get the thing off the ground,” they said, recalling how he’d sit in on pitch meetings and give his input throughout the process. He was also more than happy to reunite with Graham, thanks to their previous relationship working on Guy Ritchie’s Snatch together. If a Season 2 happens, Pitt is likely to be closely involved in getting the band back together for Netflix. For his part, Graham cheekily teased previously that there’s room for another story to be told, while his wife, production partner, and co-star Hannah Walters went even further in a conversation with Variety, adding, “A prequel to Adolescence, that’s certainly not going to happen. But there’s so much mileage in the one-shot and so much mileage in investing into human nature again and looking at something else.”

‘Adolescence’ Defined Itself With Its Story and Style

Season 1 of Adolescence was told across four one-shot style episodes exploring the fallout of the arrest of young Jamie Miller on suspicion that he murdered his classmate, Katie Leonard (Emilia Holliday). As the investigation unfolds and Jamie is questioned by a forensic psychologist, his toxic views towards women come to light and connect to his interest in manosphere influencers and struggles with bullying in school. All the while, his family has to deal with the heartbreak of learning their son is an accused killer and the scrutiny of a community that now sees them as pariahs. While it’s filled with stellar performances, Gardner gave especially high praise to Barantini for leaning on oners to ensure audiences couldn’t look away from the tragic story unfolding, telling Deadline:

“Phil’s style of doing the episodes in one take is not a gimmick. It’s very much in conversation with the subject matter. 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.”

Season 1 of Adolescence is currently streaming on Netflix. Stay tuned here at Collider for more as discussions for a potential Season 2 take place.
