Netflix's breakout drama miniseries 'Adolescence', which became the streamer's second most-watched show ever, won big at the 77th Primetime Emmys 2025 on Sunday (local time) with 6 awards.
In just four episodes, 'Adolescence' shows how 13-year-old schoolboy Jamie Miller's (Owen Cooper) life turns upside down when he is suddenly accused of murdering his female classmate, Katie. The show's one-take filming style and brilliant writing became a hit among viewers worldwide.

Owen Cooper, who won Best Supporting Actor (in a limited series), is now the youngest ever male winner of the award.
The 15-year-old called the experience "surreal", urging actors to "step out of your comfort zone a little bit".
"Who cares if you get embarrassed? I was nothing about three years ago—I'm here now."
The Warrington wonder had been 14 at the time of filming, with 'Adolescence' as his first credited role.
The show itself was adjudged the best limited series, with 'Boiling Point' and 'The Irishman' fame Stephen Graham winning Best Lead Actor (in a limited series) and Erin Doherty winning Best Supporting Actress (in a limited series).
Philip Barantini also won for best direction (in a limited series) while series creators Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham bagged the award for best writing (limited series).
Graham—who plays Jamie Miller's father in 'Adolescence'—surpassed Colin Farrell ('The Penguin') and Jake Gyllenhaal ('Presumed Innocent') for his awards.
“This kind of thing doesn’t usually happen to a kid like me,” Graham said, calling it the “utmost humbling thing I could ever imagine in my life".
