Half Man: Shot on ARRI Alexa 35 and Angénieux Zooms

BBC One · HBO · Mam Tor Productions · 2026

Richard Gadd’s follow-up to Baby Reindeer follows Ruben and Niall, brothers in all but blood, across thirty volatile years, from childhood through to a wedding that goes violently wrong. Starring Gadd alongside Jamie Bell, it was filmed in and around Glasgow in 2025 and premiered on BBC One and HBO in spring 2026, earning a string of award nominations including an Emmy nod. The camera package came from Progressive.

The camera: ARRI Alexa 35
A story told across three decades needs a camera that can carry very different looks and still hold every nuance of a performance. The Alexa 35’s wide dynamic range and rich, natural colour give a production that kind of flexibility.
