Stephen Graham shares major update on Adolescence season two

The notion had previously been shut down by one of the creators

Graham, who co-created the show with Jack Thorne, was interviewed by Variety alongside his wife, Hannah Walters, when he opened up about the possibility of a second season.

Thorne and others attached to the show have been adamant that there will not be a second series of the show.

The show focuses on a young boy who has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing a young girl to death, and each episode was shot in one single take.

The show was a critical success, with 100 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes and viewers doing nothing but talking about the gripping show.

The series has been a huge success for Netflix who are numbers driven when it comes to renewing shows. It became the first ever streaming show to top the UK's TV weekly charts.

It is likely to be one of Netflix's most watched English-speaking series of all time.

Despite his colleagues unwillingness to commit to a second season, Graham appears open to the idea.

Speaking to Variety, the actor and co-writer joked, 'we'll see how the figures are'.

He said: "There's the possibility of developing another story."

Walters, who has a cameo in the show and runs a production company with Graham said: "A prequel to Adolescence, that's certainly not going to happen.

"But there's so much mileage in the one-shot and so much mileage in investing into human nature again and looking at something else.

"But yeah, everything's looking good... everyone's happy, shall we say?"

Thorne had previously shut down this idea, telling ITV's This Morning: "I don't think we're the right people to tell Katie's story.

"I think there are other makers out there that could tell beautiful dramas about Katie or girls like Katie, and that those shows should be made.

"Our aim was to try and tell Jamie's story as fully as we possibly could, and maybe trying to tell her story would dilute that in some way and maybe we would be inadequate for that task."

He continued: "Jamie's story is finished... I don't think there's anywhere more we can take Jamie, so I don't think there is a series two.

"We'd love to explore the one shot format in another way. We'd love to tell other stories with it, but I don't think a series two of Adolescence is quite right for us."
