Baby Reindeer director Richard Gadd isn’t leaving the limelight anytime soon after he landed a new role co-producing HBO and the BBC’s new drama Lions. The six-part drama follows the relationship of two Scottish bothers, Ruben and Niall, spanning from the 1980s to the present day, according to the logline put out by Warner Brothers. An “explosion of violence” at Niall wedding after Ruben arrives sends the viewer back through their rollercoaster 40-year relationship, starting from when they meet each other as teenagers, through the “good, bad, terrible, funny, angry, and challenging moments along the way,” the logline explained. The show is set to delve into the “difficult question...
