New Images as Richard Gadd's Half Man Announces Launch Date

Half Man premieres on HBO and HBO Max on Thursday, April 23, with the official launch following on BBC iPlayer on Friday, April 24, at 6am.
Created by Richard Gadd, Half Man chronicles 30 years in the lives of brothers Niall and Ruben, whom the BBC describes as "broken men" facing transformative change.
Gadd filmed the drama in Glasgow, returning to television after achieving worldwide recognition for his divisive Netflix series Baby Reindeer.
BBC One and BBC Scotland will broadcast Half Man "within the week," though the network has not yet confirmed the precise television release date.
The production "explores brotherhood, violence, and the intense fragility of male relationships," with the BBC announcing an "explosion of violence" accompanying the release.
