Where was Adolescence on Netflix filmed?

"The idea came as – over the past 10 years or so – we've seen an epidemic of knife crime amongst young lads, up and down the country," he said.

"And for me, there were certain instances that really stuck out where young boys – and they are young boys, you know, they're not men – were killing young girls.

"When I mentioned it to Phil [Barantini, director], it just really hit me hard. I just thought, 'Why? What's going on? What's happening? Why is this the case?'"

Graham also echoed that in an interview with Tudum.

"One of our aims was to ask, 'What is happening to our young men these days, and what are the pressures they face from their peers, from the internet, and from social media?'" he said.

"And the pressures that come from all of those things are as difficult for kids here as they are the world over."

Where was Adolescence filmed?

Adolescence was filmed in South Kirkby, West Yorkshire.

The cast and crew were based at Production Park, a studio facility near Wakefield, for six months last summer, where most of the filming took place.

"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."

One of the studios housed an "extensive set build", part of which was a police station.

There were "two internal builds" in total, plus an "extension outside".

Some on location filming also took place, one being the Miller house, which is located just a few minutes from the studio.

Adolescence is available to stream now on Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
