First Look At Matt Smith In Sky’s The Death Of Bunny Munro

Matt Smith is  a shirtless bad boy in the first look at Sky upcoming six part limited series, The Death Of Bunny Munro set for release in 2025.

The series is based on Nick Cave‘s cult novel of the same name, It’s also written by Pete Jackson (Somewhere Boy) and directed by Isabella Eklöf (Industry, Holiday).

The Death Of Bunny Munro is described as a wild cautionary tale and a tender portrait of a father and son.

The image below sees the Doctor Who star (as our titular character) shirtless and sitting in his pants in a laundry. Next to him is young actor Rafael Mathé who is playing his onscreen son Bunny Junior. Bunny is a bit of a lothario, a door to door salesman who finds himself with his son after the suicidal death of his wife.

Following his wife Libby’s death by suicide, sex addicted, door-to-door beauty product salesman and self-professed lothario Bunny Munro finds himself saddled with a young son and only a loose concept of parenting. Together with nine-year-old Bunny Junior he embarks on an epic and increasingly out-of-control road trip across Southern England as the two struggle to contain their grief in very different ways.

As Bunny bounces from one sales pitch to the next, trying to seduce any woman he meets, Bunny Junior kills time talking to the ghost of his mother and distracting himself from the dawning realisation that his dad isn’t just fallible—he’s a complete mess. As he starts to unravel, Bunny realises he must do something to rescue his son from his own outdated notions of what it is to be a man. The Death of Bunny Munro is both a wild cautionary tale and a tender portrait of a father and son.

The Death of Bunny Munro will air on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW sometime in 2025.
