What Is Black Rabbit About?
While Netflix is keeping specific plot details tightly under wraps, the logline promises a high-stakes narrative.

The project is created by acclaimed writer Zach Baylin, an Oscar nominee for King Richard, and his wife, Kate Susman. With such a formidable cast and creative team, Black Rabbit is already being tipped as a must-watch title for 2024.
