Netflix has unveiled a sneak peek at Stephen Graham's new series Adolescence.

The upcoming four-part crime drama sees the Peaky Blinders star play the father of a 13-year-old boy who is arrested and charged with the murder of a girl at his school.

Following the emergence of filming photos earlier this year, the streaming service has now unveiled a series of official first-look stills, including Graham and co-stars Ashley Walters (Top Boy) and Erin Doherty (The Crown).

Adolescence tells "the story of how a family’s world is turned upside down when 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) is arrested for the murder of a teenage girl who goes to his school".

Graham takes on the role of Jamie's father and 'appropriate adult' Eddie, while Walters plays Detective Inspector Luke Bascombe and Doherty portrays the clinical psychologist assigned to Jamie's case, Briony Ariston.

The show will be unique in using a continuous one-shot technique to follow the drama in real-time in each episode.

The series comes from Graham and Help's Jack Thorne, with Boiling Point's Philip Barantini on board to direct the episodes.

Alongside the aforementioned stars, Adolescence also stars Game of Thrones' Faye Marsay, The Responder's Christine Tremarco, Happy Valley's Mark Stanley, After Life's Jo Hartley and newcomer Amélie Pease.

The show is one of a number of projects coming up for Graham, including the Peaky Blinders movie for Netflix, as well as a London-set drama from Steven Knight, a Bruce Springsteen biopic and a new movie thriller called Good Boy.

Adolescence is set to premiere on Netflix in 2025.

Moore emerged, with a fractured tooth, not stirred but distinctly shaken – so much so that he’d soiled his trousers. Which is not very James Bond.
