The Netflix limited series Adolescence (Review) was a significant winner at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, taking home multiple prestigious accolades, including the coveted award for Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television. This acclaimed four-episode series garnered a total of four Golden Globes, solidifying its status as a critical darling after a successful run at the Emmys earlier in the awards season.

The series, co-produced by Warp Films, Matriarch Productions, and Plan B Entertainment, captivated audiences with its unique storytelling approach. Each of its four episodes was filmed in one continuous take, immersing viewers in the unfolding drama. "Adolescence" delves into the aftermath of a 13-year-old schoolboy, Jamie Miller, being arrested in a murder case, choosing to explore the complex circumstances that led to this tragic turn rather than focusing solely on the crime itself. This compelling narrative, combined with strong performances, resonated deeply with critics and viewers alike, becoming Netflix's second most-watched series after "Wednesday (Review)," accumulating over 141 million views in its initial three months.

Beyond its top series honor, "Adolescence" also saw its talented cast recognized for their outstanding work. Stephen Graham earned the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television. History was made when 16-year-old Owen Cooper, who portrays Jamie Miller, became the youngest person ever to win a Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role on Television. Cooper's remarkable achievement was part of a back-to-back sweep that also included an Emmy and Critics' Choice Award. Additionally, Erin Doherty received the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role on Television for her role in the series.
