Where was Adolescence filmed? All the locations in the Netflix drama

Alongside the haunting plot, another big talking point of the series has been its unique filming technique.

Each episode is one long, continuous shot – a method that star/co-creator Graham and director Philip Barantini used in their previous film Boiling Point – that transports the viewer through the Yorkshire town where the Miller family live.

"I think what the one-shot does is makes you sit up and you can’t take your eyes off it, because if you do blink for a second you miss something. It draws the audience in," Baranti recently told Radio Times magazine.

"It’s like going to a play. If you go to a play, you can’t be on your phone, yeah? And so you’ve got to pay attention to everything."

The four-part series takes us through the Miller's home, the police station, the school and the parking lot where Katie was discovered stabbed to death.

But where was each scene filmed? Read on for more information about Adolescence's filming locations.

Where was Adolescence filmed?

Ponefract, West Yorkshire

The show was filmed in and around Pontefract in West Yorkshire.

Speaking about how the casting of Owen Cooper as Jamie influenced where the series was shot, director Philip Barantini previously told Netflix: "We knew it was going to be set somewhere in the North of England, and we also knew it would be from somewhere around wherever our Jamie was from — in this case near Warrington — because it would have been unfair to make him do an accent."

Scenes at the Miller house were shot at Carr View in Pontefract.

Speaking about how she let the crew behind the show use her house for filming, Bethany Fletcher — who was approached by Sheffield-based Warp Films who'd chosen their house as it was at the end of a long street — told Yahoo UK: "I gave the number left on the letter a ring anyway and before I knew it an hour later the around 20 people had shown up mapping it out, taking pictures, and moving stuff around.”

Speaking about when Graham visited the house himself, she added: "I was star struck when he walked through our door. He joked to us, 'I bet you've seen me on TV' and we both told him we were huge fans."

Wakefield, West Yorkshire

Episode 2 was filmed at Minsthorpe Community College in South Elmsall in Wakefield, with additional scenes filmed in the car park of the nearby Minsthorpe Leisure Centre.

In a post on Twitter (X), Netflix UK & Ireland explained: "320 teenagers playing school children, and 50 adults playing teachers, shoppers and parents. And yes, they all had to be in exactly the right place at the right time. There were 13 takes of this episode!"

Production Park, South Kirby, Yorkshire

Other scenes were shot at Production Park, a studio facility near Wakefield, where the cast and crew were based for six months last summer.

The entire police station in episode 1 was shot at the studio.

"The series posed a major challenge for us with the one-shot element, so we needed a studio space that could match our technical needs, but also provide a home for the crew and actors during the whole process," said Mark Herbert, joint CEO of WARP Films.

"It was a great space to build our sets."
