Netflix today released first look photos from the new drama miniseries Black Rabbit starring and executive produced by Jude Law (Skeleton Key, The Young Pope), and Jason Bateman (Ozark, Arrested Development), premiering globally September 18.
The synopsis 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 (Jude 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 (Jason 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.
