A significant detail about the song played at the end of Netflix’s acclaimed series “Adolescence” surprised viewers.
The four-part drama tells the story of Jamie, a 13-year-old boy portrayed by actor Owen Cooper, who is accused of murdering a teenage girl named Katie.
In the final scene, Jamie’s father, played by Stephen Graham, sits crying in his son’s room as a melancholy song begins—a version of “Through the Eyes of a Child,” originally by AURORA.
Speaking to Tudum, Philip Barantini, the director of “Adolescence,” revealed that they discovered actress Emilia Holliday, who portrays the murdered girl, could sing, so they included her voice in the track. “Katie is part of the entire series. Her presence is always felt,” he explained.
