The 77th Emmy Awards on September 14 made history when Owen Cooper, the young star of 'Adolescence,' won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series at 15 years old. The win makes him the youngest ever male Emmy winner. He was accompanied by his parents at the ceremony. His performance had already received a number of accolades and attention from the media ever since 'Adolescence' premiered on Netflix in March 2025.
The show received two more awards in the acting categories, Best Actor for Stephen Graham and Best Supporting Actress for Erin Doherty, and a total of eight awards in several categories.
'Adolescence' has been selected to be shown in schools across the UK following the wide conversation it sparked about teenage violence and the dangers of social media.
