Everyone is talking about the new Netflix British crime drama Adolescence, from what the 43 emojis mean to the haunting hidden details.
But more new details have been revealed about the home featured in the Stephen Graham-fronted series. Schoolboy Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), who is accused of murdering fellow pupil Katie, lives with his parents and sister at a detached 1960s property.
It features heavily in the one-shot drama, starting with the police knocking down the front door to arrest the suspect. Fans get to see several rooms inside the £230,000 three-bedroom home, but the real-life property looks totally different inside, the owners revealed.
Bethany Fletcher and partner Dylan Naylor revealed how they were approached by producers who asked to use their home in South Kirkby, Pontefract, Yorkshire for three months of filming in 2024 – and several details were totally changed, including the front door and even the wallpaper.
The couple, who live with their two young children Theo and Louis, admitted to the MailOnline that the kitchen table was the only item seen on the show that belonged to them.
“Everything was replaced. All the furniture was changed, the walls were wallpapered over,” Dylan explained before revealing the attention to detail in the props.

This meant that there was confusion about what belonged to them and what was a prop! When they returned home, Dylan said the Netflix team had accidentally removed one of his childhood photos, assuming it was one of schoolboy Jamie.

They described the experience as “surreal,” especially when it came to welcoming famous actor Stephen, who plays father Eddie Miller, into their home. Recalling their first interaction with the Biuling Point actor, Dylan and Bethany said Stephen “loved” the staircase and the natural light in the property.
