Louis Theroux is about to litigate over this poster

Or he’ll just do a 5 part series about how it came to this

I sensed that HBO had liked the style of my documentary poster.

For a second, I thought this was a bizarre documentary about a wrestler and Harlan Ellison.

I'm a little confused. Are they half-brothers, bros, or bros✨?

Devilofchaos108070 Apr 7, 2026 +23
Yeah it looks almost romantic in parts, then maybe just step bros. So I’m not really sure

WhatsAMataHari Apr 7, 2026 +17
Knowing nothing about this other than the trailer, I got the vibe that the younger brother (Jamie Bell) is queer (there are a few shots of him looking conflicted at other men), and maybe has confused feelings towards the new stepbrother. But who knows.
17
F00dbAby Apr 8, 2026 +3
That’s what I thought to. Or that he and his I guess new step brother had an unspoken thing or fooled around but the young brother denied it.

berlinbaer Apr 8, 2026 +2
yea think the twink is queer, he admires his stepbrother for defending him and for how he lives his lives, his freedom and all, but also realizes how that comes with a lot of collateral damage and hates him for that. hence all the conflict.

queerbaiting. i bet they're just brothers

Why are you calling it queerbaiting when you haven't seen it and don't know what it is?

Step brothers but no blood relatives their mothers get together when they were high schoolers

Step brothers where the moms moved in together

For those who have watched Baby Reindeer, there's similar sexual tension/confusion between the lead and a charismatic character. Certainly part of his story telling the mix of love, abuse, lust, power, admiration, friendship, etc.

AnyTower224 Apr 12, 2026 +1
Is as everyone said baby reindeer is and he did win basically all the Emmys for his miniseries then show his out of the park for HBO again

yes queerbaiting

F00dbAby Apr 8, 2026 +17
I mean no lol. Two characters having homoerotic tension is not queer baiting.
17
NeitherAlexNorAlice Apr 8, 2026 -2
The characters are brothers... You Americans gotta ease down on the sexual awkwardness you feel around other men. You can't even hug a bro out without thinking you look gay or something. Chill out. Hug your bros more.

bautin Apr 8, 2026 +6
Step-brothers from the looks of it. And I watched the trailer, it definitely had the vibe of "Wait, are these dudes f******?"
6
F00dbAby Apr 9, 2026 +1
Exactly. I doubt they actually do and it will likely be just a weird tension because one of them is repressed. Whether it just be emotionally or because of their sexuality
1
AnyTower224 Apr 12, 2026 +1
For 40 years, though, I ain’t grabbing my brother’s head and neck in that way in the trailer
1
F00dbAby Apr 12, 2026 +1
lol me either. I don’t think it’s common place at all. But it is a thing for some brothers do have a weird homoerotic tension.
1
AnyTower224 Apr 12, 2026 +1
They not brothers tho. Their moms are lesbians and moved in together while they were teenagers.
1
F00dbAby Apr 12, 2026 +1
i mean step brothers are brothers
1
F00dbAby Apr 8, 2026 -1
I mean that’s not what’s happening here though. No one is watching a trailer for what was that Affleck movie. The accountant where he is brothers with Jon Berthal and bringing up homoeroticism. Like you may not see it. But these brothers in this clearly have something going on that’s more than brothers. Homoeroticism in media involving siblings is not uncommon.

Fabulous_Drop4900 Apr 7, 2026 -28
Idk why the downvotes are there if there ends up being no such element either between them or with one of them being bi/gay this is pretty shameless queerbaiting. A blind nun could see how its edited in a homoerotic way. And yes two men can be friends and no I'm not talking about physical closeness as homoeroticism. Ofcourse we have to wait and find out but wouldn't surprise me if this was just to create a certain hype and capture a certain audience on false pretense.

bindersfull-ofwomen Apr 7, 2026 +24
The creator is bisexual and plays bisexual characters, so it's possible the character he is playing is bisexual.
24
F00dbAby Apr 8, 2026 +9
I mean that’s not what queer baiting is either. Something can be homoerotic and never amount to a someone being explicitly queer and not be queer baiting.

Honestly I saw the still image and just thought that’s a horrible rear naked choke. After watching the trailer it still makes absolutely no sense 👍

At first glance I thought that was Gael Garcia Bernal playing twins.

Gadd looks rather buff and a little roidy. I remember him being lean and lanky in Baby Reindeer. Pretty dramatic physical transformation.

I actually love how they used Tame Impala in this trailer

MissingLink101 Apr 7, 2026 +72
Surprised it's taken this long to see Richard Gadd leading another series. Whatever the noise around Baby Reindeer, he was excellent in it. Also always great to see Jamie Bell in anything (plus Tame Impala as the music in the trailer too)
72
AsleepYesterday05 Apr 7, 2026 +132
Is it "this long" ? Baby Reindeer was only 2 years ago. And he is the creator of this one as well.
132
MissingLink101 Apr 7, 2026 +15
I'm just surprised no one snapped him up to be in something releasing last year when he was getting a lot of acclaim/awards recognition. Maybe he only wants to be in projects he's creatively involved in though
15
Spencer_Perceval Apr 7, 2026 +24
This was actually in advance development before Baby Reindeer was released. HBO joined an existing BBC development. This being written and produced so close to BR would otherwise be really fast. These things take so long normally.
24
AsleepYesterday05 Apr 7, 2026 +2
Hmm yeah fair enough, I am guessing it is the latter, at least for now.
2
mopeywhiteguy Apr 8, 2026 +4
I’d say this is very quick to be leading another series. It’s an original that he’s written which filmed basically as soon after baby reindeer aired. It seems fast tracked

urgasmic Apr 8, 2026 +2
it seems like he wrote this project and then spent a year getting buff for it lol.

Let It Happen by Tame Impala from the album Currents.

I probably need therapy because I watched this trailer and was like... HAWT! 😭

Nah it's a swallow, synonymous with UK prisoners meaning you've served your 'bird' which is cockney rhyming slang for served your time. Bird Lime = Time

How Richard Gadd is getting away with all of this is insane. Baby Reindeer is still meant to go to court and being slowed down by everything Netflix has in the tank. Anyone who knows Richard knows that he lied about what happened in that show (not the r***) but the stalking of any kind. This is not new information. Disgusted to see this.

Wait a minute, Jaime Bell played like a 10 year old kid in Billy Elliot, and that was at the start of the Willenium. Why does he look like he's in his late 40's?
