Matt Smith, known for his roles as a Time Lord and a Targaryen prince, takes on his most unhinged character yet in "The Death of Bunny Munro." He portrays a charismatic but deeply troubled father whose life unravels when his nine-year-old son is thrust upon him following his mother's death. The series promises a blend of dark comedy and tender exploration of generational trauma and complex father-son bonds.
Produced by Clerkenwell Films and executive produced by Nick Cave, the six-episode drama follows Bunny Munro as he compulsively sells cosmetics door-to-door and engages with women while his grieving son converses with his mother's ghost. The narrative intensifies as social care becomes involved, concerned about the child's welfare amidst Bunny's erratic lifestyle and the presence of a serial killer in Brighton. Bunny faces an ultimatum: improve his parenting or lose everything.
The series, featuring an original score from Cave's Bad Seeds collaborators, also stars David Threlfall as Bunny's father. "The Death of Bunny Munro" is available to stream on Sky and NOW from Thursday, November 20. International viewers can access the content using a VPN to connect to UK servers.
