Matt Smith’s The Death of Bunny Munro Sets Nov. 20 Premiere on Sky Atlantic and NOW

Nick Cave’s novel becomes a Sussex-shot father–son drama with the author involved in production.

Overview

  • The six-part series adapts Nick Cave’s 2009 novel into a dark, character-focused father–son story.
  • Filming took place across Sussex, including Worthing seafront and locations in Brighton and Hove.
  • Matt Smith plays a self-destructive travelling salesman who sets out on a road trip with his nine-year-old son, played by Rafael Mathé.
  • Nick Cave and Smith are credited as co-producers on the Sky production.
  • Smith told Radio Times he deliberately avoided getting in shape to portray Bunny’s unwell, self-neglecting state, and international release plans remain unannounced.
