Jude LawandJason Batemanare finally sharing the screen — and it looks worth the wait. Netflix has dropped the first trailer forBlack Rabbit, an eight-episode limited series that drops viewers into the heart of New York City nightlife, where loyalty, family, and survival collide.
The show follows brothers Jake and Vince Friedken, played by Law and Bateman, as they attempt to run Black Rabbit, a high-end restaurant and VIP lounge poised to be the city’s next big hotspot. Jake, the slick and charismatic face of the operation, is riding high — until Vince reappears and dredges up old wounds. What starts as a family reunion quickly spirals into chaos, with dangerous enemies, fractured trust, and a looming threat that could bring down everything they’ve built.
The trailer wastes no time setting the tone. Dimly lit clubs, huge gambling debts, and a tense brotherly bond at the center of it all. These two guys can play light or dark and this one looks like it’s going to straddle both sides of the line. The series promises both pulse-pounding suspense and a layered look at how trauma, ego, and ambition can fracture even the tightest bonds.Black Rabbitis created byZach Baylin(King Richard) andKate Susman, with a producing team that includes Bateman’s Aggregate Films and Law’s Riff Raff Entertainment. Bateman not only stars but also directs the first two episodes, withLaura Linney, Ben Semanoff, and Justin Kurzeldirecting the rest of the season.
