Premiering September 18, 2025, Netflix’s “Black Rabbit” is a gritty new limited series set in the heart of New York City’s nightlife. Starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman as estranged brothers, the show promises a mix of family drama, ambition, and suspense—all wrapped in a slick, neon-lit package.
“Black Rabbit” Premise
Law plays Jake Friedken, the charming owner of a high-end restaurant and lounge on the verge of becoming the city’s next hot spot. But things take a turn when his troubled brother Vince (Bateman) unexpectedly returns, dragging chaos—and secrets—back into Jake’s carefully curated world.
Created by “King Richard” writer Zach Baylin and “The Order’s” Kate Susman, the series is brought to life by a stellar directing team that includes Bateman, Laura Linney, Ben Semanoff, and Justin Kurzel. Bateman also directs the first two episodes, bringing his “Ozark” sensibility to a new world of betrayal, loyalty, and ambition.
Visually, the series leans into a raw, moody aesthetic that captures both the glamor and grime of New York nightlife. From sweeping cityscapes to intimate, tension-filled moments, “Black Rabbit” looks and feels like prestige TV with teeth.
With buzz building ahead of its premiere, and comparisons already being made to “Ozark”, fans of smart, character-driven crime dramas should mark their calendars. The series may be limited, but if the talent involved is any indication, this ride is going to be anything but small. “Black Rabbit” is streaming on Netflix starting on September 18.
