There’s a new The Death of Bunny Munro trailer, and a date for the show’s arrival
The show comes to Sky and Now on November 20, and we have a new The Death of Bunny Munro trailer to enjoy (it’s a teaser, so expect more). The six-part series stars Matt Smith in an adaptation of the Nick Cave novel.
What is the series about?
From the Sky press release:
Following his wife Libby’s death by suicide, sex addicted door-to-door beauty salesman and self-professed Lothario Bunny Munro (Matt Smith), finds himself saddled with his young son, Bunny Junior, and only a loose concept of parenting. As the two struggle to contain their grief in wildly different ways, Bunny takes Junior on the road for an increasingly out-of-control door-to-door sales tour around Brighton and the surrounding coast.
Bunny bounces from one sales pitch to the next, trying to seduce any woman he meets, while Junior kills time talking to the ghost of his mother and grappling with the dawning realisation that his dad isn’t just fallible, he’s a fucking mess. As Bunny starts to unravel, he realises he must do something to rescue his son from his own outdated notions of what it is to be a man; to save him from becoming another Bunny Munro.
The Death of Bunny Munro is both a wild cautionary tale and a tender portrait of the relationship between father and son.
Who are the cast?
Matt Smith (House of the Dragon, The Crown) will star as Bunny Munro and also serves as executive producer. Rafael Mathé will make his television debut starring as Bunny Junior.
