The hit Netflix series 'Adolescence' has earned 12 nominations for the BAFTA Television Awards, continuing its awards season dominance after winning nine Emmys last September. The show, which stars Owen Cooper as a young teenager arrested for the murder of a female classmate, has been recognised across multiple categories, including supporting actor, where Cooper will compete against co-star Ashley Walters.
Other cast members nominated include Stephen Graham, Christine Tremarco and Erin Doherty. Doherty is also nominated for lead actress for her role in Disney+ series 'A Thousand Blows'. The series has picked up craft nominations for directing, photography, lighting, casting and sound.
In the limited drama category, 'Adolescence' is joined by 'I Fought The Law', 'Trespasses' and 'What It Feels Like For A Girl'. The international category sees 'The Bear' competing against 'The Diplomat', 'Pluribus', 'Severance', 'The Studio' and 'The White Lotus'.
The BAFTA Television Awards will be held in London on May 10, hosted by Greg Davies, and broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The BAFTA Television Craft Awards take place on April 26, hosted by Maisie Adams.
