Where was Adolescence filmed? All the locations in the Netflix drama

"We think he's safe in his room... that home is the microcosm, and that's where you should be safe," said Graham. "That's where he's raised and that's where your security is. But through the telephone, through the internet, there's a whole macrocosm out there of stuff that we have no control over as parents."

But Graham was quick to add that the show is not saying "one particular person is to blame, or one thing is to blame".

"It's surely, as a society, we should look at this, and we should all be accountable," he added.

"The children are our future. We are all accountable for raising this next generation – parents, schools, government, community, society as a whole. We all should be accountable... because there was a few incidents, there were a good few incidents why this idea came to my head. And it hurt my heart that young boys, they're not men, they're young boys, are killing young girls.

"So it's just creating conversation in the homes, because I think it’s imperative for the future of our next generation."

Speaking about filming the series, Ashley Walters, who plays a detective, said: "It was intense. It was intense.

"I came into this job personally thinking that I was going to quit acting. So before I was like, 'I’ve had enough.' And obviously I've started directing and I was like, 'I want to pursue that a bit more, slow down the acting a bit, and eventually phase it out.' And Stephen [Graham, who wrote the series with Jack Thorne, and is also in the cast] called me and was like, 'No, you got to come and do this job.'

"So I came, didn't realise how intense it was going to be, but it was so intense. The challenge was great. I was crying into my script most nights in the apartment, so scared I'm not going to remember the material. But actually, coming out of it, I grew. There was a newfound love for the craft and what I do."

The four-part series takes us through the home of the accused, the police station, the school and the parking lot where the victim was discovered stabbed to death.

But where was each scene filmed? Read on for more information about Adolescence's filming locations.

Where was Adolescence filmed?

Ponefract, West Yorkshire

The show was filmed in and around Pontefract in West Yorkshire.

Speaking about how the casting of Owen Cooper as Jamie influenced where the series was shot, director Philip Barantini previously told Netflix: "We knew it was going to be set somewhere in the North of England, and we also knew it would be from somewhere around wherever our Jamie was from — in this case near Warrington — because it would have been unfair to make him do an accent."

Scenes at the Miller house were shot at Carr View in Pontefract.

Speaking about how she let the crew behind the show use her house for filming, Bethany Fletcher — who was approached by Sheffield-based Warp Films who'd chosen their house as it was at the end of a long street — told Yahoo UK: "I gave the number left on the letter a ring anyway and before I knew it an hour later the around 20 people had shown up mapping it out, taking pictures, and moving stuff around.”

Speaking about when Graham visited the house himself, she added: "I was star struck when he walked through our door. He joked to us, 'I bet you've seen me on TV' and we both told him we were huge fans."

Wakefield, West Yorkshire

Episode 2 was filmed at Minsthorpe Community College in South Elmsall in Wakefield, with additional scenes filmed in the car park of the nearby Minsthorpe Leisure Centre.

In a post on Twitter (X), Netflix UK & Ireland explained: "320 teenagers playing school children, and 50 adults playing teachers, shoppers and parents. And yes, they all had to be in exactly the right place at the right time. There were 13 takes of this episode!"

Production Park, South Kirby, Yorkshire

Other scenes were shot at Production Park, a studio facility near Wakefield, where the cast and crew were based for six months last summer.

The entire police station in episode 1 was shot at the studio.

"The series posed a major challenge for us with the one-shot element, so we needed a studio space that could match our technical needs, but also provide a home for the crew and actors during the whole process," said Mark Herbert, joint CEO of WARP Films.

"It was a great space to build our sets."
