Director Philip Barantini and cinematographer Matthew Lewis have done this before.
In 2019, they made ‘Boiling Point’, a film about 92 stressful and chaotic minutes in the life of a head chef in a London restaurant. All shot in one continuous take (i.e. there were no cuts or CGI inserts anywhere).
In 2025, what TV series did these two shoot, using a similar approach? The film has been shown in secondary schools in Britain at the behest of its Prime Minister.

Answer
Adolescence; the Netflix drama has four episodes, each shot in one continuous take; a very hard thing to pull off. More here on the technicalities behind doing this.
Oh, and if you are old enough, you should watch Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rope”.
