6.5 Million Viewers Tuned in: The Stats Behind Owen Cooper’s Breakout Role in Adolescence

Owen Cooper’s audition tape for the role of Jamie Miller in the British series Adolescence has been released by Netflix. The 13-year-old character, arrested on suspicion of murder, is central to the four-part limited series directed by Philip Barantini. The audition features two key scenes: one with a lawyer before a police interview and another with psychologist Briony Ariston, played by Erin Doherty. Cooper’s performance, marked by intense rage, was a highlight of the series. In a light-hearted moment, Doherty teased Cooper about his hairstyle during a review of the audition tape. Adolescence made a significant impact, with its first episode becoming the top-rated UK streaming show of the week and attracting nearly 6.5 million viewers in its debut week, according to ratings agency Barb.
