Richard Gadd who floored us all with his painfully personal Netflix series 'Baby Reindeer' is back with a new six-part series on the BBC.

'Half Man' recently wrapped filming in and around Glasgow, with star and creator Gadd appearing alongside Jamie Bell.

'Half Man' explores the highs and lows of Ruben and Niall’s relationship, from meeting them as troubled teenagers to witnessing their falling out as adults – with all the good, bad, terrible, funny, angry, and challenging moments along the way. The series will capture the wild energy of a changing city – a changing world, even – and plumb the depths of what it means to be a man.

'Half Man' will air in 2026 on BBC iPlayer, BBC One and BBC Scotland.
