Brad Pitt’s Connection to Netflix’s New Limited Series ‘Adolescence’ Surprises Fans
Netflix recently dropped a new limited series called Adolescence, and it’s generating a lot of buzz since its debut on March 13th. Fans are loving the crime-drama, and here’s a cool tidbit: Brad Pitt’s name pops up as an executive producer in the credits. Yep, THE Brad Pitt!
In an interview with Radio Times, director Philip Barantini confirmed Pitt’s involvement, sharing that the Hollywood icon was super enthusiastic about the project. One fan on social media even called it a “crazy” move for Pitt to be part of Adolescence. And it seems like his touch has only added to the series’ appeal.
The show follows a 13-year-old boy named Jamie Miller, played by newcomer Owen Cooper, who is accused of a serious crime. The intense story is delivered in four episodes, each shot in a single take for that extra tension-filled experience.
Cooper has been garnering praise for his acting chops, especially since this is his first-ever onscreen gig. The Guardian even dubbed Adolescence as one of the scariest TV shows of our time, and it quickly became Netflix’s top show for the week of March 10-16.
So, if you’re looking for a gripping watch, give Adolescence a shot. All four episodes are streaming now on Netflix!
