Regina Hall, Will Poulter Join Netflix Hostage Thriller

Regina Hall (One Battle After Another), Odessa Young (Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere) and Will Poulter (Dopesick, Warfare) have joined the cast of Netflix’s upcoming hostage thriller Rabbit, Rabbit.

The thriller comes from showrunner Peter Craig (The Batman, Top Gun: Maverick, The Town) and is being directed by Philip Barantini (Adolescence). Adam Driver (Marriage Story, BlacKkKlansman) was previously announced as the lead.

Rabbit, Rabbit follows as an escaped convict is cornered by law enforcement at a truck stop, leading him to take hostages in an effort to bargain for his freedom. The standoff escalates into an unmanageable social experiment with his captives, and a battle with a veteran FBI crisis negotiator.

The series is being executive produced by Craig, Barantini and Driver. Additional executive producers are Samantha Beddoe, for her and Barantini’s It’s All Made Up Productions, and Bryan Unkeless (I, Tonya), for his and Craig’s Night Owl Stories banner. It is being produced by MRC, which has a first-look deal with Craig and Night Owl Stories.
