Bunny Munro is a middle-aged sex addict and a severely damaged, chauvinist salesman in the six-part thriller, which stars Matt Smith (known for Doctor Who, The Crown, and House of the Dragon). A sombre road trip storyline follows him soon after his wife takes her life, setting the stage for the series.
Along with his young son Bunny Junior, played by Rafael Mathé, Munro embarks on a whirlwind sales tour around Sussex, peddling cosmetics door-to-door. The self-proclaimed lothario is forced to face his identity and his connection to his grieving kid during this tumultuous voyage. The fact that a serial killer is active in the vicinity just makes an already dangerous situation worse. An ominous cautionary tale and a touching examination of the bond between a father and kid in the midst of terrible hardship are what the series has to offer.
Production and creative team
Along with Smith, musician and author Cave is an executive producer on the series. Cave contributes music to the series' soundtrack in collaboration with his long-time partner Warren Ellis. Director Isabella Eklöf (Industry) and writer Pete Jackson (Somewhere Boy) collaborated on the adaptation.
Libby (Bunny's wife), Johann Myers (Poodle), Robert Glenister (Geoffrey), Alice Feetham (Yvonne), David Threlfall (Bunny Munro Snr.), Lindsay Duncan (Doris Pennington), and Elizabeth Berrington (Charlotte Parnovar) are all members of the strong ensemble that supports Smith and Mathé in the main cast.
