adolescence where is it set

The series "Adolescence" is set in a fictional unspecified northern English town, but it was filmed primarily in real locations in West Yorkshire, England. Key filming locations include Pontefract, South Kirkby, South Elmsall, and Sheffield in Yorkshire. Specific sets like the police station were constructed in studios at Production Park in South Kirkby. The show's story revolves around a 13-year-old boy accused of murder, unfolding in a community that resembles these northern English towns. The creators chose these locations partly because the lead actor, Owen Cooper, is from Warrington near that region, which allowed for a natural accent and authentic feel to the setting.
