The TV series "Adolescence" was filmed primarily in Yorkshire, England, with significant locations in Pontefract in the City of Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Key filming spots include:

• Pontefract, West Yorkshire, particularly Carr View for residential scenes including the Miller house.
• Production Park in South Kirkby, Wakefield, where the police station and interview room sets were built on sound stages.
• Minsthorpe Community College in South Elmsall in Wakefield for the school scenes.
• Nearby residential areas in South Kirkby for some outdoor scenes.

The series was shot in locations close together, all within a 10-minute drive to facilitate the one-shot filming style, allowing the camera to move seamlessly between sets and real locations in real time. The filming took place mainly in 2024, with the production making use of a rehearsal and filming space at Production Park used often by musicians. The location choices were partly influenced by casting the lead actor Owen Cooper from Warrington, nearby Yorkshire, ensuring his natural accent was kept authentic in the show.
