Sky today released the official trailer for its upcoming six-part limited event series The Death of Bunny Munro, starring BAFTA and Emmy-nominated actor Matt Smith in the title role. The Sky Original series launches on Sky and NOW on 20 November.
The six-part series, written by BAFTA winner Pete Jackson (Somewhere Boy), is directed by BAFTA-nominated Isabella Eklöf (Industry, Holiday). It is based on Nick Cave’s acclaimed novel and produced by Clerkenwell Films (Baby Reindeer, The End of the F***ing World) in association with Sky Studios. Internationally renowned musician, screenwriter, and novelist Nick Cave serves as Executive Producer. He also composes the score alongside longtime collaborator Warren Ellis. Matt Smith also serves as Executive Producer.
PREMISE
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. He has only a loose concept of parenting. As the two struggle to contain their grief in wildly different ways, Bunny takes Junior on the road. They go 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. Meanwhile, Junior kills time talking to the ghost of his mother. He also grapples with the dawning realisation that his dad isn’t just fallible, he’s a 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 As Bunny starts to unravel, he realises he must do something to rescue his son from his own outdated notions of what it is to be a man. He must 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.
