""We got Albert Hammond Jr. [of The Strokes] to write their songs," Susman says. "We were huge fans of The Strokes and we told him our idea for the show, and he was totally game." "Then he took Jude into the studio," Baylin adds. That's Jude's vocals. He's got a really good voice. Who knew?"
"Black Rabbit, which debuts all eight of episodes on Netflix today, is a delicious mashup of The Bear and Ozark. You see the former in Black Rabbit's initial setup: Law's Jake designs to turn the already-buzzy Black Rabbit into a hall-of-fame New York City cool-kid hangout, rallying its staff to culinary greatness. Fittingly, thanks to Bateman's character, Vince, things then turn Ozark-y."
"Enter Joe Mancuso (played by CODA's Oscar-winning actor Troy Kotsur), a local crime boss who is scary as all heck. From there, Black Rabbit's thrill ride takes viewers on a trip featuring Law in his prime, smooth-talking form, and Bateman playing against type as a hairy, sweaty, lying mess."
Netflix's Black Rabbit stars Jason Bateman and Jude Law as brothers Vince and Jake who open a sexy, dimly lit New York City restaurant called the Black Rabbit. Episode 2 reveals their past as alt-rockers in a band called The Black Rabbits, with Albert Hammond Jr. writing songs and Jude Law supplying vocals. The series blends culinary workplace intensity with criminal thriller elements, combining elements of The Bear and Ozark. Jake aims to elevate the restaurant into a cool-kid hangout while Vince's drug abuse and grifting draw violent crime boss Joe Mancuso and criminal danger into the venue.
