The Death of Bunny Munro is a 2025 British drama series directed by Isabella Eklöf, adapted from Nick Cave's dark novel of the same name. Matt Smith leads as Bunny Munro, a dissolute door-to-door cosmetics salesman whose chaotic life unravels across the English south coast in a portrait of self-destruction.
What is The Death of Bunny Munro about?
Bunny Munro is a man held hostage by his own appetites. He drives his company car from one doorstep to the next, peddling beauty products to women while pursuing a compulsive pattern of seduction that has hollowed out everything around him — his marriage, his finances, and his grip on reality. When tragedy forces Bunny to take his young son Bunny Junior on the road with him, the two become unlikely companions through a world Bunny barely knows how to navigate. The series tracks this father-son road trip with dark humor and mounting unease, as Bunny's behavior grows increasingly erratic and the gap between who he believes himself to be and who he actually is becomes impossible to ignore.
Cast & crew
Matt Smith, known internationally for high-profile television roles, brings unsettling physical energy to Bunny, making him simultaneously pathetic and menacing. Rafael Mathé plays Bunny Junior with quiet watchfulness. The supporting cast includes Sarah Greene, Robert Glenister, David Threlfall, and Lindsay Duncan, anchoring the world around Bunny's spiral with grounded, precise performances.
Context & significance
British literary adaptations that lean into dark psychology and moral ambiguity have long attracted Persian-speaking audiences abroad who appreciate complex, uncomfortable character studies over neat resolutions. The Death of Bunny Munro arrives with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles on K-Time, making it fully accessible to diaspora viewers who want to follow the dialogue closely. Isabella Eklöf, whose previous work in Scandinavian cinema has been noted for its unflinching treatment of power and desire, brings a similarly cold-eyed perspective to Nick Cave's source material. For viewers who enjoy British drama with literary roots and a willingness to portray flawed masculinity without redemption arcs, this series offers a genuinely distinctive experience.
