Adolescence will arrive on Netflix at 8am GMT on March 13. The full season will be available at that time - so you can expect to find it waiting for you when you get home from work in the evening.

How many episodes is Adolescence?

The limited series will have just four episodes and all of them will be available at the same time. So you can binge watch or take your time with the ‘harrowing’ show - but it arrives in time for the weekend.

Each episode is filmed in one continuous shot and it is directed by Philip Barantini, who is behind Boiling Point.

Adolescence star Stephen Graham told Netflix: “We could have made a drama about gangs and knife crime, or about a kid whose mother is an alcoholic or whose father is a violent abuser.

“Instead, we wanted you to look at this family and think, ‘My God. This could be happening to us!’ And what’s happening here is an ordinary family’s worst nightmare.”
