'Adolescence' Sets Netflix Records, Earns 13 Emmys

Netflix's 'Adolescence' has garnered 13 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Limited Series and acting nods for Stephen Graham and 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who made history as the youngest-ever nominee in the Supporting Actor category. Cooper's portrayal of Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old accused of murder, has sparked global discussions on internet toxicity and youth culture. The series is Netflix's most-watched TV title in the first half of 2025 with 145 million views, making it the platform's most popular UK title ever and second overall behind 'Back in Action'. 'Adolescence' faces competition from shows like 'Severance', 'The Penguin', and 'The White Lotus' at the 2025 Emmys. The nominations underscore the growing prominence of non-English and international content on Netflix, with over a third of viewing now from non-English titles. The Emmy Awards ceremony will take place on September 14, where Cooper could become the youngest male winner of any acting Emmy.
