Matt Smith will star in new Nick Cave TV series adaptation, The Death of Bunny Munro

BAFTA-winning writer, Pete Jackson, who wrote the hit series Somewhere Boy, will be rising to the challenge of adapting the book for the screen, while the series will be produced by Clerkenwell Films (Misfits, The End of the F***ing World) in association with Sky Studios. The series, which is going to start filming in Spring 2024, will be directed by Isabella Eklöf, who wrote the Oscar-nominated, Un Certain regard-winning Swedish fantasy film Border.

“We’re so excited to be working with Pete, Matt, Nick, Isabella and Sky on The Death of Bunny Munro, a timely tale about masculinity, dark and twisted but also full of humour and humanity. Pete’s scripts brilliantly capture Nick’s creation, and we can’t wait to see Matt bring this singular anti-hero to life,” said Petra Fried, Managing Director of Clerkenwell Films.
