Plan B in ‘early talks’ about ‘Adolescence’ Season 2
According to Deadline, Plan B co-presidents Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner revealed that discussions are underway about the “next iteration” of the show.
Gardner and Kleiner told the outlet they’re currently in talks with director Philip Barantini about what a second season would look like. Gardner shared they’re brainstorming. That includes how to “widen the aperture, stay true to its DNA, [and] not be repetitive.” However, she didn’t want to reveal the details.
Meanwhile, Kleiner said they hoped Stephen Graham, the co-creator and co-writer of Adolescence who also played Eddie Miller, can return alongside fellow writer Jack Thorne.

The 2021 movie, Boiling Point, in which Graham plays a chef, is what, per the outlet, “got the ball rolling on Adolescence” for Plan B. After watching the drama directed by Barantini in the one-take style he’d later use on Adolescence, Kleiner knew the production company wanted to try it with TV.
Pitt, for his part, was eager to reunite with Graham after starring in 2000’s Snatch together. “Brad is a massive fan of Stephen’s,” Kleiner said.
