Netflix has today given a series order to the original drama series Rabbit, Rabbit starring Adam Driver (Marriage Story, BlacKkKlansman). The project becomes the third straight-to-series order to land at the streamer in the past month following a competitive bidding war amongst several outlets - joining Pagans and Black Hole.
When an escaped convict is cornered by law enforcement at a truck stop, he takes hostages in an effort to bargain for his freedom. But the standoff soon escalates into an unmanageable social experiment with his captives, as well as an emotional poker match with a veteran FBI crisis negotiator trained in "tactical empathy."
Peter Craig created the drama. He will executive produce with Driver, Bryan Unkeless, Samantha Beddoe and director Philip Barantini. MRC, It's All Made Up Productions and Night Owl will produce.
