Jason Bateman Brings Danger To Brother Jude Law's Doorstep In Netflix Restaurant Drama Black Rabbit — Watch Trailer, Get Release Date
Jason Bateman isn't done breaking bad: Following sinister turns in Ozark and Carry On, the Emmy winner is returning to Netflix this fall as Jude Law's ne'er-do-well brother in the limited series Black Rabbit.
Premiering Thursday, Sept. 18, and "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," according to the official logline. "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."
In the series' trailer, which was released Wednesday, everything's falling apart for Jake, just as Vince shows face to make his plight even worse. Now, Jake's on the hook for $20,000 a week until Vince's debts are cleared, or risk losing his restaurant for good. From there it's all car chases, arson, gunshots and a whole lot of running as the brothers work together to keep their heads above water.
The cast also includes Cleopatra Coleman (Clipped), Amaka Okafor (Bodies), Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù (Gangs of London), Troy Kotsur (CODA), Abbey Lee (Florida Man), Chris Coy (The Deuce), Dagmara Dominczyk (Succession), Odessa Young (The Staircase), Robin De Jesus (Welcome to Chippendales), Amir Malaklou (The Old Man), Don Harvey (We Own This City), Forrest Weber (Law & Order), Francis Benhamou (Inside Amy Schumer), Gus Birney (Dickinson), John Ales (Painkiller) and Steve Witting (Tulsa King).
Bateman directs the first two episodes (out of eight total), and executive-produces alongside Law and series creators Zach Baylin and Kate Susman.
