“You’ve got to sell them the dream,” Matt Smith intones in the first trailer for The Death Of Bunny Munro.
Sky will be hoping to bottle some of that bravado when the limited series, based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Nick Cave, premieres on November 20.
The six-part drama stars Doctor Who actor Smith as the titular character, a self-professed lothario who finds himself saddled with a young son after his wife dies by suicide.
Together with nine-year-old Bunny Junior he embarks on an increasingly out-of-control road trip across southern England as the two struggle to contain their grief.
The project is written by BAFTA-winning Somewhere Boy scribe Pete Jackson for Baby Reindeer producer Clerkenwell Films in association with Sky Studios. Isabella Eklöf (Industry) directs.
Cave will executive produce with Smith. Manpreet Dosanjh executive produces for Sky; Petra Fried, Ed Macdonald, and Emily Harrison executive produce for Clerkenwell Films. Jackson and Eklöf also serve as executive producers. The producer is Matthew Mulot.
