Nick Cave’s ‘The Death of Bunny Munro’ adds Sarah Greene and Johann Myers

Nick Cave’s “The Death of Bunny Munro” has added “Bad Sisters” star Sarah Greene and “Without Sin’s” Johann Myers as it rounds out the cast.

Greene and Myers will join the previously announced Matt Smith (“House of the Dragon”) in the show, a darkly funny yet tender exploration of the relationship between a man and his son. Greene plays Libby while Myers takes on the role of Poodle. Smith stars as the titular Bunny Munro.

Pete Jackson (“Somewhere Boy”) has adapted Cave’s novel into a six-part series produced by Clerkenwell Films (“Baby Reindeer”) in association with Sky Studios. Isabella Eklöf (“Holiday”) directs.

Also includes Robert Glenister (“Sherwood”) as Geoffrey, Alice Feetham (“Boiling Point”) as Yvonne, David Threlfall (“Shameless”) as Bunny Snr, Lindsay Duncan (“The Morning Show”) as Doris Pennington and Elizabeth Berrington (“ Last Night in Soho”) as Charlotte Parnovar.

“After the suicide of his wife Libby, sex addict, door-to-door beauty salesman and self-proclaimed lothario Bunny Munro is left with a young son and only a loose concept of parenthood. Together with nine-year-old Bunny Junior, he embarks on an epic and increasingly out of control road trip through southern England, as the two struggle in very different ways to manage their grief,” the synopsis reads.

“While Bunny bounces from one sales pitch to the next, trying to seduce every woman he comes across, Bunny Junior kills time by talking to his mother’s ghost and distracting himself from the dawning realization that his father isn’t is only fallible, but also a damn mess. As he begins to unravel, Bunny realizes he must do something to save his son from his own outdated ideas of what it is to be a man.

Cave, Smith, Jackson and Eklöf also serve as executive producers. Matthew Mulot (“Baby Reindeer”) is the show’s producer.

Clerkenwell Films is wholly owned by BBC Studios.
