Neil Gaiman's Likely Stories: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

A collection of extraordinary stories from international award winning novelist and screenwriter Neil Gaiman.

Set in London, these four 30-minute short stories will be characteristically dark and strange whilst also drawing on the deftly crafted characters' human warmth and wit. Centering on the act of storytelling, viewers will be drawn into Neil's intricately crafted world that moves seamlessly between reality and fantasy.

Each film, although self-contained, explores common themes of human consumption, destructive obsession and psychological cannibalism – all told with great humour, humanity and a completely astounding musical score.
