Overview

• Richard Gadd created, wrote and executive-produced the six-episode drama, starring as Ruben opposite Jamie Bell as Niall.
• The official premise begins with Ruben appearing at Niall’s wedding, triggering violence that sends the story back across nearly 40 years, with Mitchell Robertson and Stuart Campbell portraying the leads in their youth.
• New images highlight Gadd’s striking physical transformation for the role, including a markedly bulked-up look.
• Production recently wrapped in and around Glasgow, with Alexandra Brodski and Eshref Reybrouck directing and Mam Tor producing with support from Screen Scotland.
• The series debuts in 2026 on BBC iPlayer, BBC One and BBC Scotland in the U.K. and Ireland and on HBO Max in the U.S., Latin America and Europe, and Gadd has stressed the drama is not based on his life.
