Success of Adolescence 'should push broadcasters to take risks'
The Guardian
|April 07, 2025
The success of Adolescence should encourage Britain's public service broadcasters to take more risks in the programmes they commission, one of the hit show's executive producers has said.
The programme, which examines the influence of misogynist "incel" culture on a boy who stabs a classmate to death, has been a global phenomenon. It is the No 1 show across 74 countries and the ninth most-watched Netflix show of all time, with 96.7m views so far.
Jack Thorne, its writer, has questioned whether the programme could have been made in the same way by the BBC because of the financial pressures it is under after cuts to the licence fee, the arrival of streaming services and the fragmentation of audiences.
