Netflix has released the audition tape of Adolescence actor Owen Cooper, who plays the role of Jamie Miller in the hit show.

The four-part crime drama about a boy accused of killing a girl in his class pulled in 6.45 million viewers in its first week, making it the streaming giant’s most-watched series in the UK in a single week.

The drama also stars This Is England star Stephen Graham playing Eddie Miller, the father of 13-year-old Jamie, who sees armed police burst into his home to arrest his son.

Cooper, 15, made history at the 2025 Emmys as the youngest-ever male actor to win an Emmy.
