With the sheer number of films and shows dropping on Netflix daily, only a handful break into the streamer’s coveted Top 10. Even fewer manage to do it twice in the same year. But that’s exactly what the British crime drama Adolescence just pulled off. The four-part limited series originally premiered on Netflix on March 13 and quickly shot to the top spot within 24 hours. Now, it’s back in the Top 10 a whopping six months later.
The resurgence comes just days after the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards aired on Sunday, September 14, where Adolescence walked in with eight nominations and walked out with six major wins. Among the wins were Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.
