Sky has shared a first look teaser trailer for The Death of Bunny Munro, the upcoming limited drama series based on Nick Cave’s acclaimed 2009 novel of the same name.
Matt Smith stars as Bunny, a sex addicted door-to-door salesman who is struggling to raise his son (Rafael Mathé) and hold his life together following the death of his wife. As he takes the boy on a wild tour around Brighton he is forced to confront what kind of man he really is. Check out the trailer below…
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 As Bunny starts to unravel, he realises he must do something to rescue his son from his own outdated notions of what it is to be a man; to save him from becoming another Bunny Munro.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.
The Death of Bunny Munro premieres on November 20th.
