A Road-Movie Down the South Coast: The Landscape of The Death of Bunny Munro
Sky Atlantic’s new drama The Death of Bunny Munro, starring Matt Smith and based on the novel by Nick Cave, wraps filming after months on location across the Sussex coast. The six-part series, produced by Clerkenwell Films in association with Sky Studios, is as much a visual journey as it is a psychological one — using Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, Worthing, Saltdean Lido and Shoreham-by-Sea as anchor points in Bunny’s chaotic, grief-stricken spiral.
From residential Brighton streets to sweeping views over the South Downs, the production leans into the raw, nostalgic charm of the area — creating a landscape that feels both deeply personal and strangely universal.
Nick Cave himself described Brighton as “a really beautiful place” with a unique mixture of seaside charm and an underbelly of grit. Matt Smith echoes this, calling Brighton “one of the few places outside London I’d live.” That emotional connection is on screen — everywhere Bunny and his son travel, Brighton becomes a character in itself.
A Production Driven by Strong Locations
The Sussex Film Office supported the production in securing a range of key filming sites across the county, collaborating closely with location managers Lex Wade and Jon Lawrence.
The show traverses:
Brighton’s winding residential streets
Peacehaven cliffs
Pebble beaches and promenades
The iconic South Downs
Atmospheric pubs, backstreets and seaside roads
Lidos, industrial edges and sun-washed coastlines
The result is a portrait of the South Coast rarely seen on screen — both beautiful and bruised, nostalgic and unsettling.
