Richard Gadd’s “Half Man” Series Trailer

HBO, The BBC and Stan have premiered the trailer for the six-episode drama series “Half Man” from “Baby Reindeer” creator Richard Gadd who writes, executive produces and stars alongside Jamie Bell.

The story follows Ruben (Gadd) and Niall (Bell). Brothers. Not related in blood but the closest you can get. One, fierce and loyal. The other, meek and mild-mannered. Inseparable youth. Brought into each other’s lives through death and circumstance, all they have is each other.

But when Ruben turns up at Niall’s wedding three decades later, everything seems different. He is on edge. Shifty. Not acting like himself. Soon, an explosion of violence takes place which catapults us back through their lives, from the eighties to the present day.

Capturing 30 years in the lives of these broken men, “Half Man” explores brotherhood, violence, and the intense fragility of male relationships. After all, when things fall apart… it is sometimes the closest relationships which break the hardest.

Stuart Campbell (“SAS Rogue Heroes”) and Mitchell Robertson (“Curfew”) play Ruben and Niall in their younger years, while Marianne McIvor and Neve McIntosh play their respective mothers.

Casting includes Charlie De Melo, Bilal Hasna, Julie Cullen, Amy Manson, Anjli Mohindra, Tim Downie, Tom Andrews, Philippine Velge, Stuart McQuarrie, Sandy Batchelor, Piers Ewart, Scot Greenan, Charlotte Blackwood, Calum Manchip and Kate Robson-Stuart.

The series premieres April 23rd in HBO and April 24th on Stn with new episodes released weekly through May 28th.
