Netflix’s Adolescence swept the Golden Globes, with Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty and Owen Cooper all winning and now there could be a second series
Stephen Graham has hinted fans of Adolescence should “stay tuned” for a potential second series.
The Netflix limited series star spoke behind the scenes following the show’s triumphant night at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards, where it scooped four gongs, and offered insight into what he and co-creator Jack Thorne are thinking about the programme’s future.
When quizzed about the likelihood of another series, Stephen told journalists in the Winners’ Room: “I cannot answer that question because it’s somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind and Jack’s mind, and we’ll pull it out in three or four years, so stay tuned.”
The drama featured 16-year-old Owen Cooper as Jamie Miller, a teenager suspected of murder, with Stephen portraying his father Eddie.
During last night’s awards bash, Adolescence clinched Best Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Television Motion Picture, whilst several cast members secured individual honours.
Stephen took home Best Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television, and co-star Erin Doherty – in the role of Briony Ariston – earned Best Supporting Female Actor.
Owen Cooper secured the Best Supporting Male Actor trophy, becoming the youngest ever victor in the supporting TV categories.
This achievement also positioned him as the second youngest male Golden Globe winner in history, just behind Ricky Schroder, who was a mere nine years old when he received the New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture award for his performance in The Champ in 1990.
During his acceptance speech, Owen confessed: “Standing here at the Golden Globe does not feel real, whatsoever. What an incredible journey me and my family have been put through.
“We are forever grateful… I thought, I might be okay, I might be awful, I never know. So, I took a risk, and I went to drama classes. I was the only boy there. It was embarrassing, but I got through it.
“I’m still very much an apprentice. I’m still learning every day, I’m still learning from the people that are sat in front of me, that inspired me. It’s mad what’s going on.”
Black comedy-thriller film One Battle After Another and Adolescence were the big winners at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards. Adolescence scooped Best Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Television Motion Picture, and stars Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty bagged acting honours, taking Best Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television, Best Supporting Male Actor and Best Supporting Female Actor respectively.
The Studio had a double win, with Seth Rogen named Best Male Actor – Comedy or Musical and the show also taking Best Musical or Comedy Series.
