About
Based on larger-than-life criminal defence lawyer Mike Bungay QC, Dear Murderer chronicles the rise of New Zealand’s first "celebrity" lawyer. The five-part drama series follows the flamboyant barrister as he emigrates to New Zealand from London, and goes on to juggle high-profile court cases, political intrigue and a notoriously complicated and turbulent personal life. Dear Murderer, starring Mark Mitchinson (The Hobbit films and Bloodlines) as Bungay, is based on a book with the same title, written by Bungay's wife Ronda.
