Brad Pitt's production house wants to make a season 2 for the “adolescent” phenomenon, with a major change

Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B, is in discussions to create a new season for the “Adolescence” series on Netflix, but at the moment it should be done without those who are synonymous with its success, The Guardian reports.

Talking to Deadline journalists in the first interview with the launch Adolescence On Netflix last month, the two presidents of the Plan B production house that produced the series, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner, said they are talking to director Philip Barantini about his “next iteration”. The series launched on Netflix was a success among both film critics and the general public, which has triggered debates on children's vulnerability to toxic masculinity in the online environment.

The series has become an international phenomenon for the streaming platform, with 114.5 million unique views since its launch on March 13th. It was the first series on a streaming platform that took 1st place in the weekly ranking of the most watched series in the UK and set a new viewing record for a miniserie on Netflix within the first two weeks after launch. This week has also become the fourth most watched series in English in the history of the platform.

Gardner said that a work team from plan B analyzes ways to “broaden the horizon” of the series, “remaining faithful to its DNA [și] By avoiding rehearsals. ”Kleiner added that he hopes for Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, the two screenwriters and creators of the series, will return for a second season.

Gardner also said that Barantini's filming style-from a single double-was “essential” for the success of the series. “Phil's style of filming episodes of a single frame is not a artifice. It is deeply connected to the theme of the series,” she said.

Speculation about a season 2 for “teen”

However, the director Barantini initially rejected the idea of ​​a second season. “Personally, I don't think so [că ar trebui să existe un alt sezon]I think it is a package that surprises this moment in time, and personally, I feel, ”he told The Independent last month.

He was asked about this subject under the conditions in which the huge success of which he enjoyed Adolescence He aroused almost immediately discussions about a possible second season.

Netflix has made a second season for a second season for Squid Gamethe most popular series in its history, although it was thought and written as a limited series with a closed end. The same thing happened with Dahmeralthough it was resumed in the form of a series-antology, with season 2 focusing around the story of the criminal brothers Erik and Lyle Menendez.

Both serials were conceived as self -standing series that will end with the conclusion of the story, as Adolescence.

The two creators of the series broadcast by Netflix said “No”

But in the case of the new production, not just the director Adolescencebut also his two creators, Graham and Thorne, excluded the return for a second season.

In an interview with the end of March for the ITV's this Morning show, Jack Thorne was asked if he would create a second season to focus on Katie's story.

“I don't think we are the right people to tell Katie's story,” he said. “Our goal was to try to tell Jamie's story as completely as possible and maybe the attempt to tell her story would dilute this way, and we could be inadequate for this task,” he continued.

Thorne said that another reason why there will be no two season on his part and Graham is that “Jamie's story is concluded.” “I don't think there is any place to take the story of Jamie, so I don't think there will be a second season,” he said.

However, Thorne did not completely exclude the version of a 2 season, without him and Graham.

“I think there are other creators who could say beautiful dramas about Katie or girls, and that those shows should be done,” he said in the ITV interview.
