"It's a little surprising, because the setup damn near calls for a five-season run: Vince is a hotshot New York City restauranteur in charge of Black Rabbit, a trendy (and, it turns out, seedy) spot under the Brooklyn Bridge. Things go to shit when Vince, his deadbeat brother, re-enters the pictureand things really go to shit when we learn he's in debt to an outfit of loan sharks led by the ruthless Joe Mancuso (Troy Kotsur). Cue all sorts of coke-blowing, high-stakes cards-playing, and the Bateman-Law duo bickering to oblivion. It's fun. It's great. But it's over."
""On set, we all knew it was ending," series co-creator Kate Susman told me in an interview tied to last week's series premiere. "Everyone felt like it was very precious and a closed box. It was a story that had a beginning and an end and everyone was there to serve this tight but closed story." "We were all like, Is there any way to continue this afterwards?" added the other half of Black Rabbit's creative team, Zach Baylin. "But everyone stuck to their guns and just wanted to make sure that this story was told in the best way... On one of the last days, we tore the restaurant down that we had built, and it wasit was pretty heartbreaking. Because you're like, Okay, this experiencethis storyreally, it's over.""
Black Rabbit is a Netflix miniseries with a definitive series finale and no expected continuation. The show centers on Vince, a New York City restaurateur running Black Rabbit, a trendy but seedy establishment under the Brooklyn Bridge, and his brother Jake Friedkin. The brother's return and debts to loan sharks led by Joe Mancuso escalate into cocaine use, high-stakes card games, and intense conflict between Vince and Jake. The Bateman-Law duo's bickering anchors the tension. Series co-creators Kate Susman and Zach Baylin treated the story as a closed box, dismantling the restaurant set and describing the experience as heartbreaking. The ending leaves little room for continuing the brothers' adventures.
