Netflix has officially unveiled Black Rabbit, an upcoming limited series starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman that centers on a pair of brothers in a race against time in the high-pressure nightlife scene in New York City. Think Uncut Gems, but with double the frantic energy with two characters on the run from loan sharks.

The first trailer for Netflix's Black Rabbit reveals a tense crime thriller that has Law and Bateman portraying siblings that reconnect when one returns with a dangerous debt that must be paid off before it's too late. Law plays Jake Friedkin, the owner of the titular restuarant and VIP lounge, while Bateman portrays his less financially stable brother,...

"If we're going to be lying to everyone else, we need to be honest with each, Jake!" Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for an intense new crime thriller series set in New York City called Black Rabbit. This will launch for streaming starting in September for anyone to watch. Looks damn good! When the owner of a New York City nightclub hotspot allows his turbulent brother back into his life, he opens up the door to escalating dangers that threaten to bring down everything he's built. Described as a propulsive new limited series set in the high-pressure nightlife scene starring and executive produced by Jude Law and Jason Bateman.

After his switch from comedy, Jason Bateman teamed up with Netflix for one of the streamer's best crime dramas, Ozark. After the immense success of the show, he worked with Netflix again for 2024's biggest action film, Carry-On.

His latest project, the crime drama Black Rabbit, continues Bateman's long line of morally gray characters. This time, he teams up with Jude Law, playing his chaotic brother. Ahead of Black Rabbit's release on Sept. 18, Netflix has officially released the trailer, which can be seen below.

The first trailer shows Vince in trouble, with Jake left to clean up his mess. That includes paying $20k a week for a loan Vince hadn't paid in years.

Jason Bateman’s demons come back to haunt his brother, played by Jude Law, in the trailer for the pair’s anticipated Netflix limited series, Black Rabbit.

In the series created by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, Bateman and Law play estranged brothers, with younger Bateman, Vince, reuniting with big brother Jake and bringing chaos with him to Jake’s hotspot bar and restaurant at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Black Rabbit.

“What do you think happens when you don’t pay back a loan for three years?” asks Jake (Law) to his brother, who says he has a “big number” in debt. But Jake has financial struggles of his own trying to maintain his success. The trailer shows the brothers running from several life-and-death scenarios, as Vince (Bateman) drags his brother into his mess.

All eight episodes of Black Rabbit release on Netflix Sept. 18.

Here’s the...

Funnily enough, I had recently binged through classic episodes of Arrested Development and seeing Jason Bateman in this trailer reminds me of how he can bounce back and forth from comedy to drama pretty easily. Netflix has just dropped the trailer to Black Rabbit, which sees Bateman get mixed up with the worst kind of people and his brother, played here by Jude Law, is attempting to help square things. The 8-episode limited series is also executive produced by Law and Bateman, and is set to stream on Netflix on September 18.

The official synopsis from Netflix reads,

“Set against the backdrop of New York City’s high-pressure nightlife scene, Black Rabbit centers around two brothers who learn just how far family, and the pursuit of success, can push them to the edge.

In the trailer for “Black Rabbit,” Jude Law and Jason Bateman play brothers in a rough patch.
