Matt Smith in The Death Of Bunny Munro: First-look
Sky has unveiled a first-look image from the upcoming comedy drama The Death Of Bunny Munro.
Based on Nick Cave's sophomore novel, the six-part series will star Matt Smith in the titular role.
The image shows the former Doctor Who star appearing alongside Rafael Mathé, who is making his television debut as Bunny Junior.
The synopsis for the show explains: "Following his wife Libby's death by suicide, sex addicted, door-to-door beauty product salesman and self-professed lothario Bunny Munro finds himself saddled with a young son and only a loose concept of parenting. Together with nine-year-old Bunny Junior he embarks on an epic and increasingly out-of-control road trip across Southern England as the two struggle to contain their grief in very different ways.
"As Bunny bounces from one sales pitch to the next, trying to seduce any woman he meets, Bunny Junior kills time talking to the ghost of his mother and distracting himself from the dawning realisation that his dad isn't just fallible - he's a complete mess. As he starts to unravel, Bunny realises he must do something to rescue his son from his own outdated notions of what it is to be a man. The Death Of Bunny Munro is both a wild cautionary tale and a tender portrait of a father and son."
The series will also feature Shameless star David Threlfall as Bunny Snr, with Hustle's Robert Glenister as Geoffrey, Lindsay Duncan as Doris Pennington and Elizabeth Berrington as Charlotte Parnovar.
The cast list also features Sarah Greene (Bad Sisters) as Libby, Johann Myers (Somewhere Boy) as Poodle and Alice Feetham (Boiling Point) as Yvonne.
The Death Of Bunny Munro will air on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW in 2025.
