DESCRIPTION:
(from BBC's press release, November 2024) The BBC has announced casting for Half Man, an original six-episode drama series from Emmy award-winning creator and executive producer Richard Gadd (Baby Reindeer, Against The Law). Gadd will star in the series alongside BAFTA award-winning actor Jamie Bell (All of Us Strangers, Rocket Man). The series is created by Mam Tor Productions (a Banijay UK company) for the BBC and BBC Scotland in a co-production with HBO, which will air the series in the US. Half Man will commence filming in 2025 in Scotland. Half Man follows estranged 'brothers' Niall (Jamie Bell) and Ruben (Richard Gadd). When Ruben shows up unexpectedly at Niall's wedding, it leads to an explosion of violence that catapults us back through their lives. Spanning almost 40 years from the 1980s to the present day, this ambitious series will cover the highs and lows of the brothers' relationship, from them meeting as teenagers to their falling out as adults - with all the good, bad, terrible, funny, angry, and challenging moments along the way. Half Man will capture the wild energy of a changing city - a changing world, even - and try to get to the bottom of the difficult question... What does it mean to be a man?
