Our First Look at 'The Death of Bunny Munro' Features Shirtless Single Dad Matt Smith

U.K. network Sky has revealed our first look at its upcoming six-part dark comedy, The Death of Bunny Munro, which stars Matt Smith (Doctor Who) as an alcoholic womanizer who must face his worst self when he's forced to become a single parent to his son, Bunny Junior (played by newcomer Rafael Mathé).

Our first image of this series sees its star smoking a cigarette in his underwear at a laundromat, indicating that this role is probably closer to the Daemon Targaryen bad-boy side of things when it comes to Smith's performance history. (Let's just put it this way: The Eleventh Doctor, this guy is not.)

Based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Nick Cave (yes, the guy who fronts the band that did the infamous Peaky Blinders theme song), The Death of Bunny Munro follows the story of its titular character who finds himself in charge of his young son following his wife's suicide. As they embark on a road trip across the south of England, the pair struggle to process their grief: Bunny through his sex-addicted attempts to seduce women, Bunny Junior (Rafael Mathé) by talking to the ghost of his dead mother. Oh, and there's also a serial killer on the loose.
