No, the theme tune isn’t by Chas and Dave, but the star of the show will be pleasing you if you’re a fan of hostage dramas as the driving force behind The Hunt For Ben Solo – that’s Adam Driver – is set to star in Netflix hostage drama Rabbit, Rabbit with director Philip Barantini and Top Gun: Maverick writer Peter Craig.
The streamer has picked up Rabbit, Rabbit, a hostage crime drama that is described as in the vein of Dog Day Afternoon, after major interest across town. It handed the project a straight-to-series order.
The contemporary series is set at a truck stop in southern Illinois. When an escaped convict is cornered by law enforcement at a truck stop, he takes hostages in an effort to bargain for his freedom. But the standoff soon escalates into an unmanageable social experiment with his captives, as well as an emotional poker match with a veteran FBI Crisis Negotiator trained in “tactical empathy.”
