Netflix is teaming up with Ozark producer, director, and actor Jason Bateman for a new limited series called Black Rabbit. Bateman will star in the series and feature Fantastic Beasts star Jude Law.
Jason Bateman will be directing the upcoming limited series. He dived into the world of directing after taking charge of several episodes of Netflix’s smash hit crime-drama Ozark. The scripts for Black Rabbit were written by Zach Baylin, who got wide acclaim for his script for the Will Smith starring movie King Richard, and his wife and creative partner Kate Susman, for whom Black Rabbit will be a screenwriting debut.
The drama, announced in October 2022, hails from Bateman and Michael Costigan’s Aggregate Films, Law and Ben Jackson’s Riff Raff Entertainment, Zach Baylin and Kate Susman’s Youngblood Pictures, and Automatik Entertainment.
This is one of many projects coming from Bateman and his production company. Other notable projects include Florida Man, Dark Wire, Here Comes the Flood, Movie Night, and many more.
