Ever since Adolescence dropped on Netflix in March, it has been doing more than topping charts—it has sparked classroom debates in the UK, flooded TikTok timelines, and even caught the attention of Stephen Graham fans worldwide. The one-shot format? Bold. That twist ending? Still debated. But just when things seemed to settle, a new round of whispers is circling—this time, involving a certain Oscar winner whose production company might be back in the Netflix game in more ways than one.

What might be drawing the crew back together? And why now? The clues are piling up fast. There is more to this story than just its hit numbers.

After its March release, Netflix's Adolescence's buzz reached everyone from TikTok moms to UK’s Prime Minister. And now, Brad Pitt's Plan B is officially in talks with director Philip Barantini to explore a second season. In a recent Deadline interview, co-heads Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner shared their excitement about expanding the show’s world while staying true to its pulse-pounding roots. Netflix, it seems, is all ears—and perhaps already plotting its next step.

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt’s Netflix presence is already heating up. Before Plan B entered these new talks, Pitt reportedly passed a long-shelved Tarantino script, starring Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’s Cliff Booth to David Fincher. The twist? Fincher’s exclusive to Netflix, making the streamer the likely home for the long-rumored spinoff. Between producing Adolescence and reviving cult-favorite characters, Pitt’s Netflix era might just be revving up.

While whispers swirl in the background, something much louder is happening on the charts. With each passing week, Netflix's Adolescence only continues to climb the charts like it is on a mission—knocking out big shots, jumping queues, and leaving even the most polished hits blinking in disbelief.

Something strange is happening on Netflix, and it does not involve dukes or corsets anymore. Adolescence, the British teen crime drama that exploded onto the platform just weeks ago, is now sitting higher on the all-time charts than Stranger Things, Bridgerton, The Queen’s Gambit, and The Night Agent. Yes, a one-shot limited series about a 13-year-old accused of homicide has turned into Netflix royalty. Could this shocking success lead to a second season? With Plan B’s already in talks, things are heating up fast for this series.  

According to Netflix’s What We Watched report, as noted by The Hollywood Reporter, Adolescence jumped from No. 9 to No. 4 on the streamer’s Most Popular English TV list last week. With over 114 million views in under a month and over 17 million just last week, it topped debut weeks for Pulse and Gone Girls. Tense, gripping, and unforgettable, Adolescence is Netflix’s most talked-about debut of 2025.
