Which limited series earned Owen Cooper his 2026 SAG Award?

Adolescence earned Owen Cooper his 2026 SAG Award for Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series.

The British series centers on Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old boy whose arrest creates the central mystery and emotional conflict. Cooper’s performance formed the dramatic focus of the limited production.

The series was created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham. It was released as a limited drama rather than an ongoing returning series, which is why Cooper competed in the limited-series or television-movie acting category.

The result is sometimes confused with Michelle Williams’s win for Dying for Sex, another limited-series acting winner at the same ceremony. Those awards were in separate gender categories.
