Ever since Adolescence

dropped on Netflix in March, it has been doing more than topping charts—it has sparked classroom debates in the UK, flooded TikTok timelines, and even caught the attention of Stephen Graham fans worldwide. The one-shot format? Bold. That twist ending? Still debated. But just when things seemed to settle, a new round of whispers is circling—this time, involving a certain Oscar winner whose production company might be back in the Netflix game in more ways than one.

What might be drawing the crew back together? And why now? The clues are piling up fast. There is more to this story than just its hit numbers.

From million-plus views to season two teases, Adolescence is not done breaking the internet

After its March release, Netflix’s Adolescence’s buzz reached everyone from TikTok moms to UK’s Prime Minister. And now, Brad Pitt’s Plan B is officially in talks with director Philip Barantini to explore a second season

. In a recent Deadline interview,

co-heads Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner shared their excitement about expanding the show’s world while staying true to its pulse-pounding roots. Netflix, it seems, is all ears—and perhaps already plotting its next step.

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt’s Netflix presence is already heating up. Before Plan B entered these new talks, Pitt reportedly passed a long-shelved Tarantino script, starring Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

’s Cliff Booth to David Fincher. The twist? Fincher’s exclusive to Netflix, making the streamer the likely home for the long-rumored spinoff. Between producing Adolescence

and reviving cult-favorite characters, Pitt’s Netflix era might just be revving up.
