Sky has unveiled the first-look teaser for ‘The Death of Bunny Munro’, a six-part limited event series based on Nick Cave’s cult novel. The drama stars Matt Smith (House of the Dragon, The Crown) as Bunny, a sex-addicted salesman whose reckless lifestyle collides with fatherhood and grief. The series premieres this November on Sky and streaming service NOW.
Written by BAFTA winner Pete Jackson (Somewhere Boy) and directed by Isabella Eklöf (Industry, Holiday), the series is produced by Clerkenwell Films (Baby Reindeer, The End of the F**ing World*) alongside Sky Studios. Nick Cave is Executive Producer and, together with longtime collaborator Warren Ellis, has also composed the score. Smith himself also serves as Executive Producer.
The story begins after the suicide of Bunny’s wife, Libby. Struggling to cope, Bunny takes his young son, Bunny Junior, on the road for a door-to-door sales tour around Brighton. But while Bunny chases women and bottles his grief, Junior talks to the ghost of his mother and starts to see his dad for what he really is — a man falling apart. As the chaos mounts, Bunny realises he must confront his own failings if he is to stop his son from repeating his mistakes.
The cast also includes Rafael Mathé in his television debut as Bunny Junior, Sarah Greene (Bad Sisters, Rosie) as Libby, Johann Myers (Somewhere Boy, Without Sin) as Poodle, Robert Glenister (Sherwood, Hustle) as Geoffrey, Alice Feetham (Boiling Point, Save Me) as Yvonne, David Threlfall (Shameless, Funny Woman) as Bunny Snr, Lindsay Duncan (Truelove, The Morning Show) as Doris Pennington, and Elizabeth Berrington (Last Night in Soho, In Bruges) as Charlotte Parnovar.
‘The Death of Bunny Munro’ premieres Thursday, 20th November 2025, on Sky and streaming service NOW.
