Richard Gadd returns with 'Half Man'

Gadd's follow-up to his breakout hit is being described as a brutally gripping exploration of violence and vulnerability.

The story centers on Niall and Ruben, whose history is revisited during a high-stakes reunion at a wedding.

Gadd, who serves as executive producer and star, reportedly underwent a significant physical transformation for the role, losing over 40kg.

Early reactions have praised the series for its feral intensity and the career-best performance of Jamie Bell.
