Black Rabbit Surges in Binge Viewing as Creators Confirm One-Season Netflix Miniseries

The eight-episode New York crime drama unites Jude Law with Jason Bateman, who directs the opening episodes.

Overview

  • All eight episodes premiered September 18 on Netflix, with viewers praising the performances and calling the series binge-worthy.
  • Co-creators Zach Baylin and Kate Susman say the story was always designed as a self-contained limited series with definitive closure.
  • Early critiques single out Law and Bateman’s onscreen pairing while noting uneven pacing and familiar crime-thriller beats.
  • Jason Bateman said he did “lots of stretching” rather than special training for action scenes, speaking at the New York premiere.
  • The production filmed entirely in New York on location and at Steiner Studios, drawing inspiration from real eateries such as the Spotted Pig for the show’s restaurant aesthetic.
