Deadline reports that "Rabbit, Rabbit" will star Adam Driver and Regina Hall. Driver is set to portray a criminal named J-Will, while Hall will play a retired FBI crisis negotiator.

The series follows fugitive J-Will, who finds himself cornered by law enforcement at a truck stop, forcing him to take hostages to secure his freedom. However, the standoff quickly escalates into an out-of-control social experiment. J-Will must not only contend with his hostages but also engage in an intense emotional battle with a seasoned FBI crisis negotiator, trained in "tactical empathy."

"Rabbit, Rabbit" is created by Peter Craig, co-writer of "The Batman" and "Gladiator II." Barantini is attached to direct all episodes. A release date has not yet been announced.
