‘Adolescence’ Available to Stream in All U.K. Secondary Schools in Initiative Backed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer: We Must ‘Tackle the Issues This Groundbreaking Show Raises’
In an initiative backed by the U.K. government, the hit drama about the dangers of toxic masculinity on young boys will be made available.
The smash hit Netflix drama — which has already provoked widespread debate for tackling the subjects of knife crime, incel culture and toxic masculinity amongst teenagers — will be made available alongside guides and resources for teachers, parents and carers to help them navigate the conversations that are raised. The announcement follows a roundtable discussion convened by the Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with representatives from charities working to support the health and mental well-being of young people, such Tender, NSPCC, and The Children’s Society, as well as “Adolescence” co-creator Jack Thorne and producers Emma Feller and Jo Johnson. “Adolescence has captured the national mood, sparking important conversations and helping articulate the pressures young people and parents face in today’s society,” said Anne Mensah, Netflix vp U.K. content.
