Netflix has released the thrilling trailer for Black Rabbit, an eight-episode limited series that features Jason Bateman and Jude Law as estranged brothers whose troubled past come back to haunt them with incendiary repercussions. Written by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, the show delves into family allegiance, drive, and the seedy underbelly of New York City nightlife.
A Dangerous Reunion

In the trailer, Vince, overwhelmed by debt, upsets Jake’s unstable world, pulling him into a maelstrom of risk, bad loans, and past injuries. “What do you think occurs when you don’t repay a loan after three years?” Jake asks, as the brothers find themselves caught up in progressively life-or-death situations.
