Following the international success of My plush reindeer, Richard Gadd already has his new project ready: Half Man, a six-episode miniseries that has presented its first trailer and that will premiere on April 24 on HBO Max

The fiction narrates the story of two men who, without sharing blood, have grown up as brothers. Everything changes when one of them bursts into the other's wedding, unleashing a spiral of violence that connects past and present over several decades. 

Starring Gadd himself alongside Jamie Bell, the series explores themes such as brotherhood, traumas and the fragility of male relationships, consolidating the creator as one of the most powerful voices in current television after the impact of his previous work.
