A new series titled “Adolescence” is set to captivate audiences with its gripping storyline. The show revolves around the arrest of 13-year-old Jamie Miller, played by Owen Cooper, for the murder of a fellow student.

The co-writer of “Adolescence,” Thorne, boasts an impressive resume with involvement in hit shows like “His Dark Materials” and “Best Interests.” Thorne has collaborated with Stephen Graham on multiple projects, including “Help” and “The Virtues.”
