‘Adolescence' Lands 13 Emmy Nominations, Beating ‘Baby Reindeer's Tally From Last Year
Adolescence, Netflix's second-most popular English language series of all time, has secured 13 Emmy nominations. The hit Netflix series landed noms for stars Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, breakout Owen Cooper, Ashley Walters and Christine Tremarco, along with picking one up for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. Co-creator Jack Thorne is up for Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, while one-shot helmer Philip Barantini has the same in directing. More from Deadline Music Supervisor Gabe Hilfer Lands Three Nominations In The Same Category Snubbed By Oscars, 'Will & Harper,' 'Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story' Score Multiple Emmy Nominations Debora Cahn Says It Is "More Important Than Ever" To Shed Light On Work Of Civil Servants As 'The Diplomat' Receives Outstanding Drama Emmy Nom Starring Graham, Doherty and Cooper, the show was shot in a one-take style and charted the journey of a young boy (Cooper) and his family after he is charged with killing a teenage girl. The show created by Thorne and Graham sparked a global conversation over the impact of social media and masculinity on teenage boys. In the UK, it has become required watching for school children. Produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B, Warp Films and Matriarch Productions, Adolescence was always likely to perform well at awards season. Its most direct recent British comparator is Baby Reindeer, also for Netflix, which last year secured 11 Emmy noms, winning six including lead Richard Gadd and supporting actresses Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau.

Plan B bosses Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner recently told us they are in early talks to make what could become a second season. British shows like The Crown and Fleabag have traditionally performed well at the Emmys, leading to something of a mini Brit invasion over the past decade or so. Adolescence could bring that home at the ceremony in September. Other British nominees this year include Gary Oldman for Slow Horses.

Seth Rogen, Cristin Milioti, Noah Wyle and more react to Emmy nominations
This year's crop of Emmy nominees were announced Tuesday. 'Severance' led with 27 Emmy nominations, while 'The Studio' led comedy nominees with 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+. The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on CBS from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host. Here are the reactions for some of the day's notable nominees: Seth Rogen for 'The Studio' "Being at this point in our lives and making a thing that has this type of attention is just so kind of novel in a lot of ways, and really exciting and thrilling and very validating in a way that I'm not used to being validated. — Rogen, nominated for best actor in a comedy series as well as writing and directing, in an interview. Evan Goldberg for 'The Studio' "My mother never wanted me to grow up to make a bunch of filthy R-rated comedies, but she is really proud today." — Goldberg, nominated for outstanding writing for a comedy series, in an interview. Erin Doherty for 'Adolescence' 'What I love about this job is that when you do the work so wholeheartedly, even when you move on you learn lessons. If you just sit and listen, and let someone talk, that is such a gorgeous offering, and I don't think we do it that often. I'm trying to take that forward.' — Doherty, nominated for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie, in an interview. Noah Wyle for 'The Pitt' 'I'm overjoyed that the nominations were spread across all the different departments as it reflects our collective effort. A heartfelt congrats to all my fellow nominees. I'm humbled and grateful.' — Wyle, nominated for best lead actor in a drama series, wrote in a statement. Jason Isaacs for 'The White Lotus' ' People wanted to watch it. They wanted to talk about it. They wanted to dress as the characters. They wanted to drink pina coladas. They wanted, they wanted to meet, you know, and watch it together. Look, the real world, the clouds are gathering and it's not that easy to be in. It's complicated and challenging to be in and to stay sane and happy and it gave people a happy place to be. And so they just wanted to continue it and so expand it into the periphery of us and our private lives, which seemed a bit odd, but I get why. They wanted to stay talking 'White Lotus' stuff.' — Isaacs, nominated for best supporting actor in a drama series, said in an interview. Tony Gilroy for 'Andor' 'I'm really happy to see that the technical side of our show got recognized and Michael Wilkinson and Luke Hall and the sound departments and the visual effects department. I thought that really got a little bit overlooked last time. I wish there'd been more for the actors. — Gilroy, nominated for best drama series and outstanding original music and lyrics, in an interview. Cristin Milioti for 'The Penguin' 'It's been so beautiful to see how many nominations the show has gotten. I'm so, so thrilled for my fellow cast and crew. It has been a really thrilling wonderful. 'I had been wishing for a role like that for a long time and searching for one, and I just had the time of my life. You know, I connected with that character so deeply.' — Milioti, nominated for best actress in a limited series, heard about the nomination while running errands. She spoke in an interview. Stephen Graham for 'Adolescence' "Poleaxed is a good word, is it not? (I'm) just so happy and so full of gratitude for the ensemble, for the piece itself as a whole, as a collective... Just the fact that there's not one specific person or there's no one specific thing, but each element has been acknowledged, and to be a part of such a wonderful ensemble, to me, is what it's all about. — Graham was nominated both for best actor and outstanding writing in a limited series or movie. He spoke in an interview. Connor Tomlinson for 'Love On The Spectrum' "That's amazing...I feel like a leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day.' — Connor Tomlinson, a reality star on 'Love On The Spectrum,' reacting in a video message to the show's five nominations. Jenny Slate for 'Dying for Sex' 'I feel really proud, really proud of our show. Really proud of (show inspiration and producer) Nikki Boyer and all the work she's done. And I just feel so happy that this work came into my life. It's been one sort of happiness after another. 'Our show really allows people to think about choices they want to make for themselves so that they could have more, so that they could step into the form that they actually like see themselves in, you know, like be the person that they feel that they are, but are somehow kept from." — Slate, nominated for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie, spoke in an interview from her home in Massachusetts. ___

Before Her Emmy Nom, ‘Adolescence' Star Erin Doherty Delighted in Accolades of a Different Kind: People Simply Saying ‘Thank You'
First-time Emmy nominee Erin Doherty cooked up a pretty good distraction — literally — when it came to nominations morning. The 'Adolescence' star, nominated for Best Limited/Movie Supporting Actress for her work in the smash Netflix hit, was actually making a cake when the nominations rolled in on Tuesday. 'I was made very aware of [the nominations] and have been made very aware of it, from my girlfriend in particular, she was like, 'Are you going to watch?' And I was like, 'No, I'm not!,'' Doherty told IndieWire with a laugh. 'I am an anxious person, so I was like, I'll stay away.' I was actually making a cake! And waiting for my agent to call because she said she would.' More from IndieWire 2025 Emmy Nominations Are Here: See the Full List of Nominees How to Watch the 2025 Emmy Nominations Announced Live When Doherty's agent called? Incredible news: not just her nomination, but 13 overall for the limited series, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, plus acting noms for co-creator Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, Ashley Walters, and Christine Tremarco. 'I'm so happy for the show, I'm so proud to be a part of it,' a giddy Doherty said over Zoom. Each episode of the series is designed to look and feel like a single-take, one-hour slice of time. Breakout star Cooper is the driving force of two of those episodes, including the gobsmacking third episode, in which his character Jamie (being held in a youth detention facility before his trial for murdering a classmate) sits down with forensic psychologist Briony Ariston (Doherty) for an unnerving interview. While the pair rehearsed for two weeks before shooting, much has been made of the improvisational magic Cooper and Doherty made. They shot two takes a day, five days straight. By the end of it, Cooper told IndieWire previously, he was tired. So he yawned, and Doherty ran with it, asking 'Am I boring you?' It was the last take, and the one that made it to air. What does Doherty remember of that? 'It was so intense and claustrophobic being in that room together, and the whole thing just required us to be present and to bounce off each other,' she said. 'So that by the time it ended — and, if you've seen it, [you know] the episode ends in such a climactic release of emotions for me — I left that room and was hugging [series director] Phil [Barantini] and Owen and all our crew, I was just kind of happy to be out of there. I think your body can't distinguish from what is true and what is false. Genuinely, we created such an authentic, horrible environment that I just remember being so grateful to have come to an end.' It was only after filming had ended, Doherty said, did she have the time and space to reflect back on what they had made. 'I knew that it was important and vital, but it was only afterwards that I was like, I think we might have made something really special there,' she said. Watching the show as a fan also offered Doherty continued perspective. 'I was kind of in my own little bubble within the realm of the show that I was like, 'I want to be an audience member of this. … There is no way I'm depriving myself of this opportunity,' she said. 'The whole thing was obviously harrowing and disturbing, but I'm so grateful that I got to sit and receive it in that way, because now I get to have those conversations in the world [with other audience members].' Those conversations run the gamut, she said, from longer chats to quick interactions, the latter of which might be her favorite. 'What I'm so kind of taken aback by is that a lot of the conversations are just random people on the street, on the tube, being like, 'Thank you for that show,'' she said. 'That is such a gorgeous communication to have with someone, like that's all I'd ever wished to say to people when specific stories have been told that have really hit me. … I think people are just grateful that the conversation is now on the table because it's such a tricky subject matter and one that I think we were all quite afraid of.' She added, 'What this show is so great at is, it doesn't actually go, 'And here are the answers,' because we don't have those answers. We didn't need the answers, we just needed someone to broach the conversation. And I think that's where thank you's come from.' The series follows in the footsteps in another major Netflix hit from last year: fellow limited series 'Baby Reindeer' pulled in 11 nominations in 2024, walking away with six, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. What is it about Netflix that makes it such a perfect home for these heartbreaking, harrowing, ripped-from-real-life stories? 'It's gotta be the bravery to just, trust in audiences, in their intelligence, in their want to and desire to to be given these really raw human stories,' the actress said. 'I think we're ready for it. We always have been, but there's always going to be that dynamic with TV and film of like, 'It it going to put bums in seats? Is it gonna sell? It's all about, will people watch this thing and, I think this show proves that we want these really authentic stories. We have a hunger for it.' That's, Doherty thinks, why shows like 'Adolescence' and 'Baby Reindeer' truly succeed. 'That's why it absolutely hit the stratosphere in a way that no one was anticipating, because there's such courage behind there,' Doherty said, 'I'm so grateful for Netflix for having the ability to just [let] … Jack and Stephen write this story in as true a way as you can, and that's it. There's such integrity within storytelling, it clearly has an impact. … Sometimes you just have to have faith, like, in the truth and the purity of something. That, for me, is what good art does.' Wait, what kind of cake? Doherty laughed. 'It's actually a fridge cake, because it's really hot at the minute,' she said. 'I've never made it before, and it's actually my birthday tomorrow. So I'm making my own birthday cake, which I'm chuffed about, because I really wanted to make it!' Talk about a great birthday. All episodes of 'Adolescence' are now streaming on Netflix.

Adolescence star Erin Doherty puts on a VERY animated display as she watches the action at Wimbledon's centre court following split from partner Sophie Melville
Adolescence star Erin Doherty put on a very animated display as she watched the Women's Singles at Wimbledon on Sunday. The actress, 32, who MailOnline exclusively revealed earlier this year had split from partner of seven years Sophie Melville, cut a chic figure in a Ralph Lauren suit. Erin looked effortlessly stylish in the beige look which boasted wide legged trousers and a waistcoat that she opted to go shirtless beneath. She draped the blazer over her shoulders while posing up a storm in Ralph Lauren's VIP suite before taking her seat in the stands. Erin could not keep her eyes off the court during the nail-bitting game which saw Sonay Kartal's fine Wimbledon run end with a fourth-round loss to Russian veteran Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Erin and Sophie first met in 2017 when they were starring in The Divide, a play written by Alan Ayckbourn, and posted their first snap on Instagram together two years later. It comes after MailOnline exclusively revealed earlier this year that the actress (R) had split from partner of seven years Sophie Melville (L) Pictured together 2019 Erin, who starred as Briony Ariston in the smash hit Netflix series Adolescence, no longer follows Sophie on social media, with sources telling MailOnline that their relationship is over. Sophie, 34, is best known for starring in the one-woman play Iphigenia in Splott, and has also appeared in Call The Midwife, and BBC drama The Pact. Erin stars alongside Stephen Graham in the Netflix one-shot drama Adolescence, which centres on schoolboy Jamie Miller (played by Owen Cooper), who is accused of murdering a girl, and has been universally praised by critics and viewers. Erin had previously branded her relationship with Sophie her 'greatest accomplishment', and just last week, she shared how she finally came to terms with her sexuality after years of being left 'unsatisfied' dating men. The Crown star said she'd been been a 'people pleaser' and had boyfriends in a bid to fit in, before one 'mind-blowing' relationship with a woman changed everything. Speaking on the How To Fail podcast she said: 'It was mind blowing and it felt like I had come home, I was just like "Wow, this is a part of who I am that I'd never got to meet" which was just so crazy'. Erin went onto discuss her sexuality saying: 'It took me a really, really long time to finally get to the point where I was like "Oh, I'm gay"'. 'But I think, again, because I grew up doing the social thing of going: "Oh, OK, well, I'll have a boyfriend and I'll do this thing" and I never questioned it'. She continued: 'I never really was ready to carve out that path for myself, even though looking back, I always knew that my relationships with men weren't satisfying in that whole hearted way that I wanted them to be.' Erin, who also starred as Princess Anne in The Crown, noted that the relationship with Sophie was her 'proudest accomplishment' but insisted they 'never went up for the same roles'. She told Porter in 2022: 'She's made me so healthy. I used to sit at home eating a bag of chocolates and now we have like, a kale salad.' That same year, Erin also admitted it was 'gutting' to even question the idea that going public with her girlfriend would jeopardise her having a successful career. The star, who played Princess Anne in the third and fourth series of The Crown, opened up about her own experience as she reflected on how difficult it must've been for women in the royal family to express their sexuality. Erin, who is happily in a relationship with fellow actress Sophie Melville, remarked: 'I felt a lot of pressure to withhold my sexuality.' Speaking to The Telegraph, Erin detailed how landing the role of the Princess Royal made her reluctant to be fully open about her sexuality for fear of her future acting career, admitting it was disheartening that the thought even crossed her mind. She said: 'I'm not gonna lie, I won't name names, but when I got The Crown, I felt a lot of pressure to withhold my sexuality. 'There was a period of time when I was like, do I get to be open about this in order to have a successful career? And the fact that that question still went through my mind, and may still go through other people's minds, is so gutting.' She continued: 'I'm really aware of all the people who have lived years and years and years, either in shame or denial, or just hiding - actors, actresses definitely stopping it getting out there in order to have a career - and I just want to be a part of trying to do something about that.'
