Adolescence dominated the limited series categories at this year’s Gotham TV Awards, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Netflix original, which sees a British schoolboy named Jamie put on trial for his classmate’s murder and explores questions of Internet-era misogyny, won all three of its nominations in limited series categories.
Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, the three categories Adolescence won include Breakthrough Limited Series; Supporting Performance in a Limited Series, which went to breakout Owen Cooper, who portrays Jamie in the series and tied with Dying For Sex’s Jenny Slate (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, It Ends With Us) for the award; and Lead Performance in a Limited Series, which went to Stephen Graham (Boiling Point, The Irishman) for his portrayal of Jamie’s father. Erin Doherty (The Crown, A Thousand Blows) was also eligible for her supporting performance within the series as a psychologist sent to analyze Jamie.
Since its release in March, Adolescence has become one of Netflix’s most-watched original series of all time, garnering plenty of attention for its representation of modern masculinity and its creators’ decision to shoot each episode in a single shot. The political dimensions of its commentary on online misogyny have likewise incurred a wide range of reactions. British Prime Minister Keir Starner publicly praised the show, advocating for it to be shown in schools to help children understand the influence of harmful online content (via the Associated Press), while American businessman and former Trump aide Elon Musk shared post on his social media site X that accused the show of containing ‘anti-white propaganda’ (via The Independent).
Other “breakthrough” winners of Gotham’s 2025 ceremony, which marked the second year in which the long-standing cinematic awards show has branched out into the small screen, included Seth Rogen’s (Sausage Party, Superbad) entertainment industry satire The Studio, and medical drama The Pitt, via The Hollywood Reporter. In addition to these more traditional awards, the Manhattan ceremony handed out number of other tributes, such as a general performance award for Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta, Bullet Train) and another for the entire ensemble cast of The Handmaid’s Tale.
