"The story follows Bunny, a door-to-door salesman and self-professed lothario who has spent his whole life in Brighton. After the death of his wife, Libby (played by Sarah Greene), he ends up looking after his son Junior (Rafael Mathé, in his debut role). Over the course of six episodes, we watch Bunny and Junior go through the rollercoaster of grief as they try to come to terms with their new relationship and roles."
"For all its brutality and devastating subject matters, the show also has a strong sense of nostalgia. Bunny and Junior head out on a road trip across Brighton and the surrounding coastline, with beautifully framed shots conjuring up memories of British seaside holidays in the '00s. The show takes us through the residential streets of Brighton, up across the South Downs and along Brighton's promenade and pebble beaches."
The Death of Bunny Munro is a six-episode Sky drama adapted from Nick Cave's 2003 novel, set around Brighton and the East Sussex coast. Matt Smith plays Bunny Munro, a door-to-door salesman and self‑professed lothario who must care for his son Junior after his wife Libby's death. The series traces Bunny and Junior's rollercoaster of grief and shifting roles, and examines masculinity, loss, addiction, and social themes. The production uses road-trip visuals across Brighton, the South Downs, and the coastline to evoke early‑2000s British seaside nostalgia, pairing brutal subject matter with moments of beauty. Nick Cave and Matt Smith express strong passion for the project.
