Adam Driver is teaming up with the director of Netflix’s Adolescence for new thriller Rabbit, Rabbit.

The Emmy Award winning Philip Barantini made waves this year with the release of his series Adolescence, which audaciously unfolded each episode in one take. It’s no surprise that he’s reuniting with Netflix for his next project, or that he’s attracted a star name to do it.

Driver, the Oscar–nominated star of Netflix’s Marriage Story and BlacKkKlansman, will star and exec-produce the series. He will take on the role of an escaped convict who finds himself in a volatile hostage situation — with nowhere to go but deeper into trouble.

The show is created by writer/showrunner Peter Craig (The Town, Top Gun: Maverick). It follows an escaped convict cornered by law enforcement at a truck stop, who takes hostages in an effort to bargain for his freedom. But the standoff soon escalates into an unmanageable social experiment with his captives — and an emotional poker match with a veteran FBI Crisis Negotiator trained in “tactical empathy”. Expect an equally big name in that second role.

Barantini will write and direct all episodes. Other executive producers include Samantha Beddoe, through her and Barantini’s It’s All Made Up Productions, and Bryan Unkeless (I, Tonya), for his and Craig’s Night Owl banner.
