The Adult Season

Following the success of last year's Adult Season, the season returns to BBC Three this summer with a host of new and returning programmes exploring the pressures on young people to grow up quickly, and what it means to be an adult.

In the My Mum and Me series we explore people's relationships with their mothers, Baby Beauty Queens returns as a six-part series and Young Dumb and Living off Mum and Underage And Pregnant are both back again. You can also watch thought-provoking documentaries like Alice and Her Six Dads and The Blind Me.
