Adulthood (web series)

Adulthood is a British web series that serves as a continuation of the films Kidulthood (2006) and Adulthood (2008), both written by Noel Clarke. Set several years after the events of the second film, the web series explores the lives of the characters as they navigate the complexities of adulthood, dealing with the consequences of their past actions and the challenges of their present circumstances.

The series primarily focuses on Sam Peel (played by Noel Clarke), exploring his reintegration into society after serving time in prison for the death of Trife. The storyline often revolves around themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the impact of violence on individuals and communities. New characters are introduced, and the series delves into issues such as fatherhood, relationships, and the difficulties of escaping a cycle of crime.

Adulthood was released online through various platforms, allowing for a wider audience reach. While maintaining a gritty and realistic portrayal of urban life, the series aims to provide a more nuanced and introspective look at its characters compared to the earlier films. Its episodic format allows for a deeper exploration of individual character arcs and their evolving perspectives on life. The series attempts to grapple with themes of responsibility, change, and the potential for growth even after making significant mistakes.
