Richard Gadds Half Man Premieres on HBO April 23

Richard Gadd's highly anticipated follow-up series to his Emmy-winning Netflix drama Baby Reindeer, titled Half Man, is set to premiere on HBO and streaming service HBO Max in the United States on April 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, with episodes airing weekly thereafter.

The six-part drama, a co-production between HBO and the BBC, explores the complex bond between two non-blood-related brothers over three decades. Gadd, who created, wrote and executive produced the series, stars as Ruben, a character described in the official synopsis as initially meek and mild-mannered in youth but shifty and on edge when he unexpectedly arrives at his brother Niall's wedding 30 years later. An ensuing act of violence propels the narrative backward through their lives, from the 1980s to the present, delving into themes of brotherhood, violence and the fragility of male relationships. As the synopsis states, "Niall and Ruben are brothers. Not related in blood but the closest you can get. One, fierce and loyal. The other, meek and mild-mannered. Inseparable youth. Brought into each other's lives through death and circumstance, all they have is each other."

In the United Kingdom, the series will debut on...
