Adam Driver to Star in Netflix's Gripping Hostage Thriller "Rabbit, Rabbit"

Adam Driver, the acclaimed actor known for his roles in "Girls" and the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, is making a highly anticipated return to television. In a recent announcement, Netflix revealed that Driver will lead the new hostage drama series "Rabbit, Rabbit."

The series follows an escaped convict who is cornered by law enforcement at a truck stop. In a desperate attempt to bargain for his freedom, the convict takes a group of hostages. However, the standoff soon escalates into an "unmanageable social experiment" as the hostages become embroiled in an "emotional poker match" with a veteran FBI Crisis Negotiator, played by Driver.

The show, which has been described as a "highly competitive" acquisition for Netflix, comes from writer Peter Craig, known for his work on "The Batman" and "Top Gun: Maverick." It will be directed by Phillip Barantini, who recently won an Emmy for his work on the acclaimed series "Adolescence."

With Driver's proven track record of delivering powerful performances, "Rabbit, Rabbit" promises to be a gripping and intense addition to Netflix's lineup. Fans of the actor's work, as well as viewers who enjoy high-stakes thrillers, can look forward to the series' anticipated release.
