Netflix's "Adolescence" ends after one season, with creators preferring it as a standalone series on online safety.

The Netflix drama "Adolescence," which examines the impact of incel culture and online misogyny through the story of a 13-year-old boy accused of murder, will not have a second season. Director Philip Barantini believes the show should remain a standalone series, capturing a moment in time. The series, created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, has sparked significant global conversation and an invitation to a parliamentary meeting on online safety. Despite its critical acclaim and record-breaking viewership, Thorne and Barantini agree that the story is best left as a four-episode limited series.
