Netflix has released the first trailer for Black Rabbit, its upcoming limited series starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman.
Created by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, Black Rabbit is described as a “propulsive thrill ride and character examination about the way an unbreakable bond between two brothers can shatter their world and everything in its orbit.”
Set against the backdrop of New York City’s high-pressure nightlife scene, Black Rabbit centers on two brothers who are pushed to the brink by their duty to family and their pursuit of success. Jake Friedken (Law) is the charismatic owner of Black Rabbit, a restaurant and VIP lounge, poised to become the hottest spot in New York. But when his brother, Vince (Bateman), returns to the business unexpectedly, trouble soon follows; opening the door to old traumas and new dangers that threaten to bring down everything they’ve built.
Law’s Jake is typically in total control, but right now he’s losing it. “I’m holding on by the skin of my teeth,” he says in the trailer. “I didn’t budget for you.”
In addition to Bateman and Law, 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.
Series is created and executive produced by Baylin and Susman for Youngblood Pictures. Executive producers include Bateman, who also directs, Michael Costigan and Roxie Rodriguez for Aggregate Films; Law and Ben Jackson for Riff Raff Entertainment; Brian Kavanaugh-Jones from Automatik; Andrew Hinderaker, Zac Frognowski, Justin Levy, David Bernon and Erica Kay. Laura Linney, Ben Semanoff and Justin Kurzel also direct.
Black Rabbit premieres September 18 on Netflix.
