DESCRIPTION:
(from HBO's press release, August 2025) HALF MAN follows estranged "brothers" Niall (Jamie Bell) and Ruben (Richard Gadd). When Niall's estranged "brother" Ruben shows up at his wedding, it leads to an explosion of violence that catapults us back through their lives. Spanning almost 40 years from the 1980s to the present day, Mitchell Robertson and Stuart Campbell portray Niall (Robertson) and Ruben (Campbell) in their younger years, in a series that explores the highs and lows of Ruben and Niall's relationship, from meeting them as troubled teenagers to witnessing their falling out as adults - with all the good, bad, terrible, funny, angry, and challenging moments along the way. The series will capture the wild energy of a changing city - a changing world, even - and plumb the depths of what it means to be a man. |
