‘Adolescence’ dominates Gotham Television Awards 2025

Adolescence is once again in the spotlight as the Netflix limited series receives three trophies at Gotham Television Awards 2025, including one for limited breakthrough series.

Owen Cooper, 15, who played the role of a troubled boy, Jamie, accused of murdering his class fellow, shared the award for outstanding supporting performance in a limited series with Jenny Slate.

Stephen Graham, who contributed in the series as Jamie's father, bags the award for outstanding lead performance in a limited series.

Adolescence, a gripping miniseries that sheds light on the issues faced by young people during the teenage years in the age of social media, sweeps Dying for Sex, Get Millie Back, Penelope and Say Nothing in the limited series category.

The four-episode psychological crime thriller tv show, after its release, took the internet by storm and became a widely-discussed show among the critics and viewers.

Margaret Lyons, a television critic for The New York Times, wrote that the show’s third episode was “one of the more fascinating hours of TV I’ve seen in a long time.”

In the drama category, Ben Whishaw received the best supporting performance award for Black Doves. Kathy Bates won the award for the best lead performance in Matlock.

In the Breakthrough Drama Series, The Pitt took the award home. Social Studies was the winner in the nonfiction series.

The star-studded award night also honoured the other industry professionals with tribute.
