The show, about a teenager suspected of killing a schoolmate, won three Gotham Television Awards last month and was a hot topic in the weeks after it was released.

Owen Cooper has become the youngest male actor to receive a nomination for a prestigious Emmy award in his category. The 15-year-old actor shot to fame on Adolescence, which landed on Netflix in March this year. The four-part drama became a real talking point due to its strong social commentary on knife crime in the UK.

Co-creators Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, along with actors Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty, spoke about how their 13 nominations already feel like a win.
