“Baby Reindeer Creator Unveils Dark Drama ‘Half Man’—Watch the Trailer Now”
Richard Gadd returns with a new BBC-HBO drama called Half Man. He stars opposite Jamie Bell in a story set in Glasgow across four decades.
Gadd first broke out after Baby Reindeer premiered on Netflix nearly two years ago. That series drew on his own experience with an obsessive stalker.
Baby Reindeer earned BAFTAs, Emmys and Golden Globes. The show dominated social conversation and raised Gadd’s international profile.
Series premise
Half Man follows two Glaswegian men who are bound like brothers. They are not related by blood but are inseparable in youth.
One is fierce and fiercely loyal. The other is meek and mild in temperament.
Three decades later, Ruben arrives at Niall’s wedding appearing on edge. A sudden act of violence propels the story back through their lives.
The narrative moves from the 1980s to the present. It lays out trauma-bonding, toxic brotherhood and shifting loyalties.
Cast and characters
Jamie Bell plays Niall, with Mitchell Robinson as his teenage version. Richard Gadd takes the role of Ruben, played in youth by Stuart Campbell.
The six-episode series spans four decades. The material leans into emotional weight and generational drama.
Release and trailer
The first episode arrives on BBC iPlayer on 24 April at 6am. A full trailer has been released for viewers to preview the tone and stakes.
