Adam Driver to Star in Netflix Hostage Drama Series “Rabbit, Rabbit”
Adam Driver is set to star in a new hostage drama series from Netflix titled “Rabbit, Rabbit.” The show, written by Peter Craig and directed by Philip Barantini, promises to be a gripping and intense thriller.
The series follows an escaped convict who finds himself cornered by law enforcement at a truck stop. In a desperate bid for freedom, he takes hostages, leading to a tense standoff that quickly escalates into an emotional and high-stakes negotiation with a veteran FBI Crisis Negotiator trained in ‘tactical empathy’.
Netflix has described the show as an “unmanageable social experiment” that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The straight-to-series order for “Rabbit, Rabbit” was secured in a highly competitive bidding war with other distributors.
Peter Craig serves as the showrunner, writer, and creator of the series, with executive producers including director Philip Barantini, Adam Driver, Samantha Beddoe, and Bryan Unkeless. The series is produced by MRC, a studio with a first-look deal with Craig.
Craig, known for his work on projects like “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Dope Thief,” has a proven track record of creating compelling and engaging stories. Barantini, a former actor turned director, has impressed audiences with his innovative approach to filmmaking, including shooting entire films in a single take.
Adam Driver, best known for his roles in the “Star Wars” franchise, “Marriage Story,” and “House of Gucci,” brings his talent and intensity to the role of the escaped convict in “Rabbit, Rabbit.”
With a talented cast and crew behind it, “Rabbit, Rabbit” promises to be a must-watch series that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
