Picture Credits: Netflix
Another BAFTA Awards has passed, and Netflix put on another big showing with eight wins across film and television, including another crowning achievement for Adolescence.
Netflix’s esteemed drama Adolescence was the streamer’s big winner at the 2026 BAFTAs (The British Academy Film Awards) on Sunday, making history with star Owen Cooper becoming the youngest ever winner of the award for best supporting actor. For television, the streamer received the second most BAFTA nominations in its history. And as for movies, the success story wasn’t quite on the same scale, but Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein adaptation won big — especially for its stellar production and costumes.
