Over the years, Netflix has both coveted its title as one of the biggest streamers of digital service and soiled itself to curate impactful originals in ways to expand its viewership. One of the most secure strategies owned by the streamer was to edge towards the fanaticism of limited series and, with its onboarding, Netflix has successfully leveraged a growth in its user’s screen time. Consequently, Netflix shows no signs of slowing down its trendsetting approach, with its latest project, Black Rabbit, receiving the green light for production.

With two iconic television luminaries scheduled to helm the project, this is how this could be Netflix’s next big thing.

Who will star in Netflix’s Black Rabbit?

Despite discussions on development dating back to 2022, Netflix has only recently unveiled the lineup of frontrunners for its limited series Black Rabbit, with Jason Bateman and Jude Law taking the lead roles. The screen idols are not only helming the project for action but also leading the show as executive producers, with Bateman noted to direct the first two episodes. 

Besides these two remarkable mentions, Amaka Okafor from the limited series Bodies, Cleopatra Coleman from Rebel Moon- Part One: A Child of Fire, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù from Gangs of London, and Dagmara Domińczyk from the six-time Emmy-winner Succession. The plotline of Black Rabbit centers on a serious sibling drama whose screenwriting responsibilities rest on Zach Baylin and Kate Susman. Apart from these, more details regarding the storyline remain classified.

Now, considering how this could potentially become Netflix’s next major advantage, the premise hinges on the backdrop of the award-winning limited series already delivered by the streaming service.

Netflix’s limited series’ streak of wins through award seasons

This year for Netflix has been quite the glory marker, especially in the context of limited series. Beginning from the Golden Globes, the Netflix original limited series Beef, starring Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, became quite the seasoned attendees of every award ceremony. Not only attendees but clear-shot winners as Beef swept Globes with 2 victories, Emmys with 4 wins, the Critics Choice with 3, and continuing the SAG with 2.

Such notable continuity also brought forth Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, which made its mark at the Emmys. While Black Rabbit also assures a cast lineup from another award-winning series by HBO called Succession, its breadcrumbs of success might leave an impact on Black Rabbit too. Although to attest to the same, one might have to wait for the course of time, over time, however, the probability does not seem impossible.
