What is The Black Rabbit about?

Netflix has remained tight-lipped about the premise of the show, which marks Jason's return to TV following the conclusion of two years ago. 

The logline reads: "When the owner of a New York City hotspot (Law) allows his chaotic brother (Bateman) back in his life, he opens the door to escalating dangers that threaten to bring down everything he's built."

Jason will direct the first two episodes of the series, which comes from Oscar-nominated screenwriter Zach Baylin and Kate Susman.
