\n\tBuzz is building for Richard Gadd<\/a>\u2019s next project, and today HBO<\/a> and the BBC<\/a> have unveiled premiere dates<\/a> with artwork.<\/p>\n

\n\tHalf Man<\/a>, Gadd\u2019s first show since Baby Reindeer took the world by storm, will premiere April 23 on HBO and April 24 on the BBC. Both will release episodes weekly. <\/p>\n

\n\tHalf Man, which has now released artwork along with a range of first-looks, follows Ruben (Gadd) and Niall (Jamie Bell<\/a>). After an inseparable youth, Ruben turns up at Niall\u2019s wedding three decades later, and everything seems different. He is on edge. Shifty. Not acting like himself. Soon, an explosion of violence takes place that catapults us back through their lives, from the \u201980s to the present day.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe world has long awaited what Gadd will do following the breakaway success of Netflix\u2019s Baby Reindeer. <\/p>\n
