Paul Bettany is Uncle Frank in the clip for new drama

In 1973, teenaged Beth Bledsoe (Sophia Lillis) leaves her rural Southern hometown to study at New York University where her beloved Uncle Frank (Paul Bettany) is a revered literature professor. She soon discovers that Frank is gay, and living with his longtime partner Walid “Wally” Nadeem (Peter Macdissi) — an arrangement that he has kept secret for years. After the sudden death of Frank’s father – Beth’s grandfather – Frank is forced to reluctantly return home for the funeral with Beth in tow, and to finally face a long-buried trauma that he has spent his entire adult life running away from.

Written and Directed by Alan Ball, Uncle Frank stars Paul Bettany, Sophia Lillis, Peter Macdissi, Steve Zahn, Judy Greer, and character actor Margo Martindale.

On Prime Video on 26th November 2020.
