Netflix drops release date, first look of Jude Law-Jason Bateman series 'Black Rabbit'

Netflix has dropped the premiere date and first-look of a new series Black Rabbit, co-starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman as “two brothers who are pushed to the brink by their duty to family and their pursuit of success.” Apart from starring, Law and Bateman also serve as executive producers on the series, with the latter also directing.

 

The official logline of the series reads, “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. Black Rabbit is 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.”

 

In addition to Bateman and Law, the series’ cast includes Cleopatra Coleman, Amaka Okafor, Troy Kotsur, Abbey Lee, Chris Coy, Dagmara Dominczyk, Odessa Young, Robin De Jesus, Amir Malaklou, Don Harvey, Forrest Weber, Francis Benhamou, Gus Birney, John Ales, and Steve Witting.

 

The eight-episode series has Bateman directing the first two episodes, Laura Linney (who was also Bateman’s co-star on Ozark) directing the next two, followed by Ben Semanoff and Justin Kurzel each directing the next two consecutive sets of episodes.

 

The series is created and executive produced by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman via Youngblood Pictures. Other executive producers include Bateman, Michael Costigan and Roxie Rodriguez via Aggregate Films; Law and Ben Jackson via Riff Raff Entertainment; Brian Kavanaugh-Jones via Automatik; Andrew Hinderaker, Zac Frognowski, Justin Levy, David Bernon and Erica Kay.

 

Black Rabbit premieres September 18, 2025, on Netflix.
