Netflix today announced the straight-to-series order for MRC’s Rabbit, Rabbit, a hostage thriller starring Adam Driver following a highly competitive pursuit.

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.”
