Netflix released a trailer for Black Rabbit, a limited series starring Jason Bateman and Jude Law.
Law as Jake Friedkin, owner of the Black Rabbit restaurant and VIP lounge in New York, whose life erupts into chaos when his brother, restaurant co-founder Vince, returns to the eatery with substantial debts to dangerous figures. The official synopsis reads: “Set against the backdrop of New York City’s high-pressure nightlife scene, ‘Black Rabbit’ centers around two brothers who learn just how far family, and the pursuit of success, can push them to the edge.”
Bateman told Netflix’s Tudum: “It’s really about these brothers who love each other but don’t match — one’s a screw-up, and the other is much more buttoned up. Everybody can relate to that. Everybody’s either got a sibling, or a friendship where you love being with one another, but it’s kind of dangerous; where that person usually gets you in trouble, but they’re really exciting to be around.”
The series is created and executive produced by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman. In addition to Bateman and Law, the ‘Black Rabbit’ cast also includes Cleopatra Coleman, Amaka Okafor, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Troy Kotsur, Abbey Lee, Chris Coy, Dagmara Dominczyk, Odessa Young and Robin De Jesus, with Amir Malaklou, Don Harvey, Forrest Weber, Francis Benhamou, Gus Birney, John Ales and Steve Witting.
