The four-part slow burner adolescence, made by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, left viewers worldwide in shock and awe. Although it was launched as a limited series, a second season seems to be on the table because of the viral success of the show.
As reported by Deadline, series director Philip Barantini is in conversation with the production company of Brad Pitt, Plan B Entertainment, about the next episode of adolescence. The series is already one of this year’s Boeziest Premières and the fourth most popular English -language show from Netflix. Creating the following season therefore seems like a logical step for producers and distributors.
Plan B was also behind the first season of adolescence, in which Brad Pitt strongly supports project development. That’s why (we hope) If the next season of the series is indeed made, it will again be a passion project.
When can the adolescence season 2 premiere?
A second season of adolescence has not yet been officially confirmed. As far as we know, there is no script or cast attached to the project, so we cannot predict a release date yet until the show gives the green light.
The first series was announced in March 2024 and was released a year later. If another series is announced, we would expect that work will take a little longer.
Conversations between makers and producers can take a few months before a contract between producers and the series makers is signed. Work on the script can also take a few months, depending on the number of planned episodes. If the makers of the series want to tell a new story, they have to collect a new cast, which further extends the pre-production period.
What can the plot of the adolescence season 2 be?
Let’s face it: the final of the story told in season 1 was just perfect; It did not need an effect or continuation. The makers are certainly aware of this – early indications are that the next season will tell a different story.
In an interview with Deadline, Plan B-Co presidents Dede Gardner and Jeremy smaller stated that they talk to Barantini about the “next iteration” of the series. As Gardner put it, they wonder how to broaden the aperture, remain faithful to the DNA [and] Not being repetitive. “
The anthology formula would work best if the adolescence for further seasons would be renewed. Each episode can be devoted to another crime that is committed by a teenager or girl, and the makers would have the opportunity to create an in -depth portrait of modern youth.
Of course the biggest challenge will be to make the plot of the second season just as surprising and emotionally intense as the first. The characteristic of adolescene is that every episode is shot in a single take-it is difficult to imagine that so-called mastershots would be left in the second entry. Filming each episode in just one recording is a great challenge for the cast and crew, which means that season 2 requires a lot of effort and budget.
Who can play a leading role in the adolescence season 2?
Because we do not yet know what season 2 is about, it is hard to say who will appear in the cast. In the first episode, all actors and actresses were first -class, but the first actor Owen Cooper as Teenage Jaime and Stephen Graham as his father, Eddie, gave particularly brilliant performances. If the makers decide to tell a new story in season 2, they will have to find actors of equal talent and impact.
