Riz Ahmed movie Sound of Metal is airing on UK TV this evening (December 5).

The 2020 film focuses on a heavy metal drummer who starts to lose his hearing while on tour, and faces the prospect of becoming Deaf.

If you haven't previously caught it, BBC Two will air the movie at 11.05pm this evening.

Sound of Metal drew huge acclaim upon its release a few years ago, going on to win two Oscars – Best Sound and Best Film Editing.

Alongside Ahmed, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role as Ruben Stone, the movie stars House of the Dragon's Olivia Cooke, Sing Sing's Paul Raci, and The Walking Dead's Lauren Ridloff.

The film comes from director and co-writer Darius Marder, who wrote the screenplay with Abraham Marder.

Rogue One and The Night Of's Ahmed has been busy since Sound of Metal was released, the star notably going on to win an Oscar in 2022 for Best Live Action Short Film for The Long Goodbye.

He has recently starred in movies Relay, Fingernails, Encounter and Flee, and will soon be seen in a new Hamlet adaptation alongside The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power's Morfydd Clark and Conversations with Friends' Joe Alwyn.

Ahmed is also set to star in a new London-set comedy series from Prime Video, in which he will play a struggling actor who experiences an existential crisis and a trippy conspiracy thriller while being on the cusp of a role of a lifetime. The project is also set to star Taskmaster's Guz Khan.

Sound of Metal is set to air on BBC Two this evening (December 5) at 11.05pm.
