The director of adolescence has celebrated after it was announced that the HIT Netflix drama will be made available for free in all schools in Britain for free.
Philip Barantini posted a festive Instagram story with the text 'We Did It' while the four-part show continues to cause a conversation about protecting young boys against Misogny on social media.
Netflix's decision comes after Prime Minister Keir Starmer today met makers of adolescence in Downing Street.
Mr. Starmer, who admitted that he 'found it very hard' to view the program with his teenage children, said he supported the decision to make the 'groundbreaking' series available in schools.
“As a father, looking at this show with my teenage son and daughter, I can tell you – it struck hard,” he said in a statement after the meeting with Co -writer Jack Thorne.
“As I see from my own children, talk openly about changes in how they communicate, the content they see and exploring the conversations they have with their colleagues is vital.”
Showing the series will help students better understand the impact of misogynia, dangers of online radicalization and the importance of healthy relationships, “his office added.
Mr Thorne, who said that children are not allowed to get smartphones until they turn 14, added that the show was done to 'provoke a conversation' and 'what we really hope is that it will lead to students talking between them'.

The drama is investigating how online influencers, such as themselves described misogynist Andrew Tate, can influence the views of children and lead them to violence.
The program with four episodes follows the Miller family, whose life is torn apart when their 13-year-old son Jamie is arrested for the death of a female classmate after he is influenced by online women's hatred.
The protagonist Jamie Miller of the show is played by Owen Cooper in his acting debut, while his father Eddie is played by Stephen Graham.
Graham said earlier that he wanted viewers to concentrate on the so -called ordinary life of Jamie.
In the meantime, schools will give students anti-missyny lessons in the aftermath of the show.
The classes will be part of the new relationships, health and sexual education (RHSE) of the government, which will be introduced before the end of the academic year.
Although Labor's leadership is still being developed, it is assumed that it is assuming to include 'healthy relationships', to enable schools to tackle harmful behavior and ensure that misogyny is being eradicated and cannot spread, “said an insider source, said the times.
From all in primary school, children will be encouraged to 'push and understand boundaries, to process disappointment and pay attention to the needs and preferences of themselves and others', with content adapted for older children to reflect the 'real complexity of romantic and sexual relationships', the source added.
