In new releases this week, we’re highlighting Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham’s Adolescence, a devastating raw and formally impressive crime drama for Netflix.
Each of its four episodes was filmed in a single take, as we bear witness to a family torn apart by the actions of their 14-year-old son.
PGGB Members Gareth Jones and John Gillet worked on the series, alongside Partners and Affiliates Facilities by ADF, Buddha Group, Tysers, Sara Putt Associates, Salon Rentals and Location One.
Also new in television this week is Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story, a four-part drama by Kelly Jones, which marks 70 years since the 1955 execution of 28-year-old Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain.
PGGB Members Lucy Jack, Angie Daniel and Aleksandra Czenczek worked on the production, with Partners and Affiliates SetKeeper, Team Engine, Film Offices: UK, Mission Digital, Location Collective & OMA Studio Group and Kent Film Office also involved.
On BBC iPlayer this week, there’s an entire new season of the Michelle Keegan-starring Ten Pound Poms, returning for a second series after debuting in 2023. The story follows a group of British citizens emigrating to Australia in the aftermath of the Second World War, where they were often referred to as Poms.
PGGB Members Matt Dalton and Anna Botka worked on the series, alongside Partners Tysers, Sara Putt Associates, TPH Global, Location Collective & OMA Studio Group and BCD Media & Entertainment.
New to ITVX is Belgravia: The Next Chapter – finally available to watch in the UK a year after its US debut. A follow up to the 2020 Julian Fellowes-penned drama Belgravia, the series is written by Helen Edmundson and is set in 1871, three decades after the events of the original series.
PGGB Members Emma Mallett, Steven Edwicker, Avneet Kaur, Samuel Harman and Jon Cole worked on the production, alongside Partners and Affiliates Media Insurance Brokers Ltd, Above The Line Set Assistance & Security Ltd, Team Engine, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Sara Putt Associates, TPH Global, Location Collective & OMA Studio Group, Screen Scotland, Sargent-Disc and Sunbelt Rentals.
Finally, this week sees the return of The Wheel of Time for a third season on Prime Video. Created by Rafe Judkins and based on a series of novels by American author Robert Jordan, the sprawling fantasy epic stars Rosamund Pike, who also acted as Producer.
PGGB Member Sam Mill was the Production Supervisor on the series, working alongside Partners and Affiliates Warner Bros. De Lane Lea, Team Engine, Sara Putt Associates, Sargent-Disc and BCD Media & Entertainment.
