Richard Gadd, the creator and star of the hit series Baby Reindeer, returns with a new BBC drama titled Half Man. The six-part series, co-produced with HBO, premieres exclusively in the UK on BBC iPlayer on 24 April, with a BBC One broadcast starting a few days later.
The show follows the toxic and complicated relationship between two men, Ruben (Gadd) and Niall (Jamie Bell), across four decades. Episodes will be released weekly on iPlayer every Friday at 6am, culminating in the finale on 29 May. The first episode is already available on iPlayer.
BBC One viewers can watch each episode on Tuesdays at 10.40pm, beginning 28 April. The final episode airs on 2 June. The series explores themes of brotherhood, violence, and male fragility, with a visceral opening scene at Niall's wedding.
