The British psychological crime drama Adolescence has unexpectedly taken Netflix by storm, racking up 30.4 million views and landing in the top 10 most-watched lists across all 93 countries. The show has received widespread acclaim from both critics and viewers for its gripping performances, sharp writing, masterful direction, and the unique feat of shooting each episode in one continuous take. With only four episodes, fans quickly devoured the series and were left craving more. Well, luckily for them, it looks like more could be on the way!

Recently, on April 9, Deadline reported that Netflix and Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B Entertainment, are in talks for a second season of Adolescence, following the massive success of the first. The news has sent fans into a frenzy, eager to see what mind-bending twists and turns season 2 might bring.


Hilarious Internet Reactions

While most netizens were thrilled about the announcement of season 2, many couldn’t help but feel nervous about the chilling and disturbing content it might bring and took to the internet to share their hilarious reactions.

"Another season of torture huh," a user wrote.

Psychological crime dramas are intense enough on their own, but when you throw a child into the mix, it’s ten times more disturbing! And now it looks like we’re getting another season of exactly that!

"Wait but how can they continue it? It had a conclusive ending," asked another.

Hmm, as this user points out, didn't Season 1 already wrap things up pretty conclusively? So, how exactly will Netflix bring the characters back? They might just have to go with a whole new cast and a brand-new story.

This user hilariously points out how every show is a limited series until the ratings roll in. Adolescence is the perfect example of why it’s suddenly not so limited anymore.

"Isn’t the moral of the story of this show is for these things to not happen on the regular…" a user wondered.

Without giving away any spoilers, the core message of Adolescence was to ensure that such incidents don’t become a regular reality for children. But now that Season 2 is reportedly in the works, maybe another gripping case is just what’s needed to reinforce that message even more powerfully.

"Time to binge-watch the first one again," commented another.

Season 2 might take a while to drop, but that just gives fans the perfect excuse to binge Adolescence all over again!

The confirmation of Adolescence Season 2 has definitely amped up the excitement as fans gear up for another unapologetically disturbing thrill ride. Time to buckle up for whatever’s coming next!
