Adolescence, Netflix‘s second-most popular English language series of all time, has secured 13 Emmy nominations.
The hit Netflix series has noms for stars Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, breakout Owen Cooper, Ashley Walters and Christine Tremarco, along with picking one up for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series.
Starring Graham, Doherty and Cooper, the show was shot in a one-take style and charted the journey of a young boy and his family after he is charged with killing a teenage girl. The show from Jack Thorne and Graham sparked a global conversation over the impact of social media and masculinity on teenage boys. In the UK, it has become required watching for school children.
Produced by Brad Pitt’s Plan B, Warp Films and Matriarch Productions, the show was always likely to perform well at awards season. Its most direct recent British comparator is Baby Reindeer, also for Netflix, which last year secured 11 Emmy noms, winning six including lead Richard Gadd and supporting actresses Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau.

British shows like The Crown and Fleabag have traditionally performed well at the Emmys, leading to something of a mini Brit invasion over the past decade or so.
