Richard Gadd Stars in New BBC Drama

Richard Gadd, known for his success with 'Baby Reindeer', has announced a new BBC and HBO drama titled 'Half Man', in which he will star alongside Jamie Bell. The six-part series will explore the turbulent relationship between two estranged brothers, Ruben and Niall, and is set to begin filming in Scotland early next year. Gadd has expressed his excitement about working with Bell, stating he envisioned him for the role from the outset. Bell, who gained fame from 'Billy Elliot', praised Gadd's writing and expressed enthusiasm for the project. 'Half Man' is produced by Mam Tor Productions and aims to delve into themes of masculinity over four decades. This project follows Gadd's previous Emmy-winning work, which faced controversy due to a lawsuit related to its real-life inspirations.
