Black Rabbit is a 2025 American crime thriller film series created by Zach Bailin and Kate Sussman. The film premiered on Netflix on September 18, 2025.
The story focuses on two brothers, Jake and Vince Friedkin. Jake (Jude Law) is a successful restaurateur, creator of a popular restaurant/VIP lounge called the Black Rabbit in New York City. But when his brother Vince (Jason Bateman), who was distant and troubled (with alcohol and debt), returns, he sets off a chain of dangers and conflicts that threaten their entire business and lives.
The series follows how family ties, debts, and criminal elements interfere with Jake's life, how Vince's past drags him down, and what the face of success looks like when everything starts to fall apart.
The series is dark, tense, with elements of crime and lit with shades of personal drama. The atmosphere combines the glamour of New York restaurant/nightlife with the danger that lurks behind the scenes - debt, moneylenders, addictions.
Visually and tonally, "„Black Rabbit“" uses a camera in narrow interiors (restaurants, kitchen, VIP areas), noise from nightlife, music imbued with weight, which emphasize the feeling that the characters are on the border between success and collapse.
„"„Black Rabbit“" is a strong choice for viewers who like crime drama + family stories + suspense. It's not just a "crime of the week," but a story about what it means to be responsible, how the past enters the present, and what happens when ambition and morality intersect.
