Netflix is all set with the velvet ropes to offer you a front-row seat to Jude Law and Jason Bateman’s upcoming series, Black Rabbit. But the question is, are you ready?

If you aren’t, you don’t have to sweat no more. The Netflix limited series is set amid the bustling nightlife of New York City, where chaos lives in the corridors of the two brothers, who are anything but alike.

“At the heart, I hope [audiences] are hooked by the complicated, loving, volatile relationship of these two brothers,” Law said to Tudum, speaking of the brotherly dynamic he shares onscreen with the Ozark star. Bateman chimed in, having directed the first two episodes of Black Rabbit, saying, “It’s really about these two brothers who love each other but don’t match: one’s screwed up, and the other is much more buttoned up.”

While relatability is not a factor of concern for Law and Bateman, for those still uninitiated to what they’re signing up for, here’s all you need to know about Black Rabbit.

What is the plot?

Black Rabbit takes place in the rush hour of New York’s nightlife. It revolves around two increasingly opposite brothers, teetering on the edge of family duty and pursuit of success. Jake Friedkin is the ambitious owner of Black Rabbit, a high-scale restaurant and VIP lounge, on its way to becoming the hotspot of the city that doesn’t sleep.

But his plans backslide in more ways than one when his brother, Vince, returns to business out of the blue, opening the floodgates of the ghosts of the past as well as new perils, jeopardising everything they’ve built so far. Black Rabbit is a high-stakes thriller that showcases how the brothers’ indestructible tie ultimately upends their entire lives and everything they care about.
