Adolescence Fans Are All Saying The Same Thing About Season 2 News

Stephen Graham as Eddie Miller in Netflix's AdolescenceAt the start, it didn’t seem likely that Netflix’s hit TV show Adolescence would get a season two. Listed as a “miniseries” by the streamer, it was originally only meant to contain the four single-take episodes millions of us have already seen.Screenwriter Jack Thorne told Deadline that he and his team had answered all the questions they meant to and that it was left open-ended for good reason; though The Sun reported that a “source” said Netflix had secured a season two. And now, Brad Pitt’s entertainment company Plan B is “in talks” with Adoslescence director Philip Barantini to get season two going. But fans have thoughts about the news. “A season two is unnecessary, needs to be a one and done limited series like it was intended to be,” a poster on X stated.Is another season really necessary, or does it risk diluting the show's impact?— EverPeak (@EverPeak01) April 9, 2025“Is another season really necessary, or does it risk diluting the show’s impact?” another X user asked.Is another season really necessary, or does it risk diluting the show's impact?— EverPeak (@EverPeak01) April 9, 2025“What more do we need to know?” yet another X reads, while some called for the series to be turned into an anthology. “If you’re gonna be a limited series, submit for all those awards, etc. YOU NEED TO COMMIT,” a different fan stated.“Anthologies (White Lotus, etc) are an exception because it’s much easier for them to stand alone, but if not, follow through with your limited commitment!” This is my biggest TV pet peeve.
