Filming began on location in New York in April 2024, with the production making use of several real-world spots throughout the city. One particularly intriguing choice was the long-closed Bridge Café—a historic and atmospheric site that added a layer of authenticity and grit to the series. This iconic venue, once shuttered and silent, became part of the living, breathing backdrop that shaped the world of Black Rabbit.

Set against this raw and atmospheric New York backdrop, the story follows Jake Friedken, a city hotspot owner who invites chaos back into his life when he welcomes his unpredictable brother Vince home. What begins as a family reunion quickly spirals into a storm of secrets and danger that threatens to dismantle everything Jake has built. Early behind-the-scenes glimpses underscored this gritty tone, with New York looming in the background like a silent, ever-present character.
The first look at Jason Bateman and Laura Linney working together on their upcoming project made the rounds last year, sparking early excitement about their long-awaited on-screen reunion.

Back in June last year, the Black Rabbit set gave fans something to chew on. Jason Bateman was spotted in full gritty form, long hair, scruffy beard, script in hand, lost in the moment, while Laura Linney, taking the lead behind the camera, directed with quiet authority. The scene unfolded at Coney Island, adding a splash of atmosphere to the drama. By July, more shots emerged of the duo together, including one where Bateman’s hand was wrapped in a mysterious bandage.

Jason Bateman listened closely as Laura Linney gave direction from a New York City stoop, just after a scene with Michael Cash had wrapped. In May, Tudum confirmed Bateman would direct the first two episodes of Black Rabbit, with Linney taking the reins for the next two. While story details remain tightly sealed, the series is described as a sharp, volatile sibling drama. Though filming is complete, this is not Bateman's only Netflix project. With New York’s iconic backdrop, anticipation continues to surge, sending fans excitement at an all-time high.
