‘Adolescence’ Officially Becomes Netflix’s No. 2 Most Popular English-Language Series


Adolescence achieved quite a feat for a modest four-part limited series on Netflix

As Deadline predicted last week, the British limited series has comfortably passed Stranger Things 4 to secure the title, amassing 141.2M views since its March 13 debut. There is still about 10 days left in its 91-day premiere window, meaning it’ll likely rack up a few more views before its official total is solidified on the Netflix most popular list. The series, about a 13-year-old boy (played by breakout Owen Cooper) accused of stabbing a female classmate to death after being drawn into the online manosphere, managed to generate a powerful word-of-mouth campaign that has allowed it to rival the latest installment of one of Netflix’s most popular franchises.
