“Adolescence” took home the BAFTA Television Award for limited drama on Sunday night, capping a remarkable sweep for the Netflix series across the 2025–26 awards season.

The show already took home two awards on Sunday evening: best supporting actor for Owen Cooper and best supporting actress for Christine Tremarco.

Created, co-written and executive produced by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, and directed by Philip Barantini, “Adolescence” follows 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Cooper) as he is arrested on suspicion of stabbing a female classmate, Katie Leonard, and traces the impact of that arrest on his family – father Eddie (Graham), mother Manda (Tremarco) and sister Lisa (Amélie Pease) – as well as on the detective investigating the case, DI Luke Bascombe (Ashley Walters), and on the clinical psychologist assigned to assess Jamie, Briony Ariston (Erin Doherty).
