‘Baby Reindeer’ Creator Richard Gadd to Star With Jamie Bell in HBO-BBC Series ‘Half Man’

As a seasoned gamer with a knack for keeping up with the ever-evolving world of television, I can confidently say that the upcoming series “Half Man” promises to be a captivating addition to my viewing lineup. The star-studded cast, led by Richard Gadd and Jamie Bell, coupled with the intriguing narrative and the talented creative team behind it, has me eagerly anticipating its premiere.


In the new series by Baby Reindeer’s creator and lead actor, Richard Gadd, the main roles have been cast; one of these roles will be taken on by Gadd himself.

Jamie Bell will team up with Gad for the series “Half Man” (previously known as “Lions”), set to air on HBO in the US and BBC in the UK and Ireland. Gad is not only acting but also penning the script and serving as an executive producer for this project, marking his first venture since “Baby Reindeer” became a hit on Netflix and garnered multiple Emmy awards. The series was jointly commissioned by HBO and the BBC in June.

The series titled “Half Man” delves into a deep and intricate bond between two men. According to its synopsis, “When Niall’s (Bell) supposed brother Ruben (Gadd) unexpectedly crashes his wedding, it sets off a chain of violent events that transport us through their lives. Stretching over nearly four decades from the 1980s to the present day, this series aims to portray the ups and downs of their relationship, from their first encounter as teenagers to their falling out as adults – encompassing all the joyful, troubling, hilarious, enraging, and testing moments in between. It seeks to depict the raw vitality of a transforming city – a changing world, indeed – and attempt to find answers to the complex query: What does it truly signify to be a man?

Filming on Half Man is set to begin in 2025 in Scotland.

Among his acting roles are the television series “Code 404,” broadcast on Peacock/Sky, as well as “Wedding Season” on Hulu. He is represented by United Talent Agency, Markham, Froggatt, and Irwin, and Individual Artist Management.

Bell’s current projects consist of the movies “All of Us Strangers” and “Rocketman,” and he will soon be acting alongside Olivia Cooke in a romantic drama called “Takes One to Know One.” He is represented by CAA, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Sloane Offer. (Paraphrased)

In a subsequent development, it’s worth noting that Gadd, who recently secured a first-look deal with Netflix following the selection of his series “Half Man,” will serve as an executive producer for the show alongside Tally Garner and Morven Reid from Mam Tor Productions (a subsidiary of Banjilay UK), Gaynor Holmes for the BBC, and Gavin Smith for BBC Scotland. Wendy Griffin is responsible for production, while Alexandra Brodski and Eshref Reybrouck will take on directing duties.
