Stephen Graham on Surprising ‘Adolescence’ Success, the Personal Touch That Sparked Eddie’s Finale Breakdown and What a Potential Season 2 Would Look Like
Stephen Graham reflects on 'Adolescence' prep, what the series was really about and the possibility of Season 2.
In the series, Graham portrays Eddie, a working-class father of two in England whose 14-year-old son (played by an excellent Owen Cooper) is arrested for murdering his female classmate. Despite the dark tone of “Adolescence,” Graham says it couldn’t have been more of a “wonderful experience.” There was even a tent set up for the younger kid actors to hang out, have card games, play football and just spend time together. Little did he know, director Philip Barantini and Graham’s wife had hung photos of their family around the room, with notes from their kids that read, “We love you, Dad” and “We’re so proud of you.”
