Sky unveils trailer for Nick Cave's The Death of Bunny Munro, Nov 20

Sky has released the first trailer for a six-part television adaptation of Nick Cave's 2009 novel The Death of Bunny Munro, confirming the series will premiere on November 20 on Sky and the streaming service Now in the United Kingdom. The trailer introduces Matt Smith as Bunny Munro, a sex-addicted, doortodoor beauty salesman who takes his young son on a chaotic sales road trip around Brighton and the surrounding coast after the suicide of his wife.

The preview opens on a sunlit fantasy of father and son selling creams and fragrances, with the boy gushing, "My dad is the best salesman in the world." The mood quickly darkens as the pair's grief and dysfunction emerge. In one exchange a social worker questions whether the touring lifestyle is suitable for the child; Bunny replies, "Right now, that boy needs his father." The trailer also shows the son conversing with a manifestation of his late mother, played by Sarah Greene, a device the series uses to dramatize the child's processing of loss.

Rafael Mathé makes his television debut as Bunny Junior. The supporting cast includes Johann Myers, Robert Glenister, Alice Feetham, David Threlfall, Lindsay Duncan and Elizabeth Berrington....
