Among Netflix’s offerings for March 2025 is an upcoming thrilling mini-series set to premiere on their platform. However, this series might prove to be more tense and anxiety-inducing than one would casually expect.

This month, March, looks promising for our platform, filled with exciting developments. We’re launching new talk shows, diving into gripping true crime series (with the added allure of ‘The Electric State’, a captivating sci-fi tale), and providing an abundance of fresh content for viewers to enjoy.

However, there’s a show that could easily escape your attention, yet it’s not one you should overlook. It’s captivating, not only due to its hauntingly realistic storyline, but also because of its unique, almost unbelievable format.

Thankfully, you won’t have long to wait.

Adolescence arrives on Netflix on March 13

Adolescence – featuring Stephen Graham – presents a four-part limited series with each episode being filmed as a single, uninterrupted scene lasting in real-time.

For people who have watched Graham’s intense kitchen series, Boiling Point, this style could seem familiar. Yet unlike Boiling Point, which exposed the harsh realities of high-stress kitchens, Adolescence serves as a chilling portrayal of every parent’s deepest fears.

The storyline unfolds around a family facing turmoil as their 13-year-old boy stands accused of killing a fellow student. With the authorities scrutinizing him, they grapple with deciding whom to believe and uncovering the truth behind the tragic event.

Graham, one of the co-writers and creators, expressed about the show, “One of our objectives was to explore, ‘What are young men experiencing today, and what kind of stresses do they encounter from their peers, the internet, and social media?’ The struggles these pressures bring are just as challenging for kids here as they are everywhere else in the world.

In simpler terms, director Philip Barantini was saying that they start recording the camera at the beginning and keep going until the end of the hour, but it’s actually far more intricate than it seems.

To make it happen seamlessly across all stages, from scriptwriting to scouting locations, designing the set, deciding camera positions and angles, requires months of meticulous planning, weeks of rigorous rehearsals, and a talented team of individuals.

All four episodes of Adolescence will be available to stream on Netflix on March 13.
