The hit Netflix mini-series ‘Adolescence’ brought home eight awards at the 2025 Emmy Awards, including the prize for the best limited series.
15-year-old Owen Cooper won the award for supporting actor in a limited or anthology series, making history as the youngest male winner ever.
“I think tonight proves that if you listen, and you focus, and you step out of your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life,” he said on stage.
“I was nothing about three years ago, and I’m here now.”
In the show, Cooper plays a teenager who has been accused of killing a classmate.
Veteran actor Stephen Graham plays the role of his father, while ‘The Crown’ actress Erin Doherty appears as a clinical psychologist who interviews the teen.
Both won awards throughout the night, for lead actor in a limited or anthology series and supporting actress in a limited or anthology series, respectively.
