Complete cast breakdown of Black Rabbit: Who plays whom and where you've seen them before

Black Rabbit follows the lives of two brothers as they face escalating challenges and risks in New York. Created by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, the miniseries is set to premiere on September 18, 2025, only on Netflix.

Starring Jason Bateman and Jude Law, the duo will be seen struggling to survive in their chaotic lives as the empire they’ve built is about to be shaken by new threats and old rivals. 

Jake owns the popular hotspot in New York named Black Rabbit. His VIP lounge and restaurant become a go-to spot in the nightlife scenes of NYC, but things get messed up when his brother Vince (Bateman) enters his life and business.

Old issues and new dangers start threatening everything they’ve built. The series is an exciting story about how the strong bond between two brothers can also put their world, and everyone around them, at risk.

The two actors also serve as co-executive producers of the series, and in an interview with Tudum, Bateman opened up about the show, saying:

 ‘’It’s really about these brothers who love each other but don’t match - one’s a screw-up, and the other is much more buttoned up. Everybody can relate to that. Everybody’s either got a sibling, or a friendship where you love being with one another, but it’s kind of dangerous; where that person usually gets you in trouble, but they’re really exciting to be around.”

While the brothers are at the centre of the plot, there is a list of an ensemble cast joining them. This article will  discuss the cast and characters in the upcoming thrilling series, Black Rabbit.
