6 x 60’

Original six-episode drama series from the multi award-winning Richard Gadd (Baby Reindeer, Against The Law). Gadd and BAFTA award-winning actor Jamie Bell (All of Us Strangers, Rocket Man) star as estranged ‘brothers’ Ruben and Niall respectively. 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, Mitchell Robertson (Curfew, Mayflies) and Stuart Campbell (SAS Rogue Heroes, The Winter King) have been announced to play Niall (Robertson) and Ruben (Campbell) in their younger years.

Half Man 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. The series 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?
