Jason Bateman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

The past week has been a pivotal one for Jason Bateman as he steps back onto the Netflix stage with headlines blazing about his starring and executive-producing role in the highly anticipated limited series Black Rabbit. According to TVLine and Variety, Bateman plays Vince, a charming but unreliable brother who crashes back into the life of Jude Law’s character, Jake, threatening to bring chaos to Jake’s thriving New York City restaurant and VIP lounge. The show is set to premiere on September 18, 2025, and early buzz highlights its thriller edge, drawing comparisons to Bateman’s acclaimed work in Ozark, but layering in new dynamics of sibling rivalry and moral ambiguity.

The trailer, released on August 20 and covered by outlets such as UPI, ScreenRant, and Vanity Fair, reveals the narrative stakes: Bateman’s Vince saddles his brother with a $20,000-a-week debt to some very dangerous individuals, igniting a spiral of car chases, gunfire, arson, and dark humor as the brothers struggle to keep the restaurant—and their relationship—afloat. Netflix is actively promoting the chemistry between Bateman and Law, teasing a two-hander brimming with tension, wit, and familial mess.

In interviews with Netflix Tudum and Vanity Fair, Bateman described the emotional core of the series as the push-pull of sibling love and exasperation, making it universally relatable for anyone with a family or close friendship that’s equal parts thrilling and exhausting. Law, meanwhile, praised Bateman’s ability to bring innocence and likeability to a role that would otherwise read as destructive—a “screw-up with a beautiful likability,” as Law put it.

Bateman’s turn in Black Rabbit is notable for biographical significance, marking his first TV project since Ozark ended in 2022 and his continued creative partnership with Netflix through his Aggregate Films banner. He also directed the opening episodes and, as The Hollywood Reporter and Variety noted, was intimately involved in casting and producing decisions.

Social media accounts from Netflix, as well as viral clips on Instagram, show Bateman and Law humorously riffing with each other in press appearances and in-character promotional clips, underscoring the camaraderie driving the show’s on and off-screen dynamic. Meanwhile, Bateman’s recent revelation on Conan O’Brien’s podcast—shared by AOL—about Matt Damon pitching himself for a hypothetical Arrested Development movie provided a playful side note, generating additional buzz in entertainment media circles.

No significant business deals, controversies, or unconfirmed rumors about Bateman surfaced during this period. For now, all eyes are on Black Rabbit, with the industry and fans alike keen to see if Bateman’s newest antihero will match the lasting cultural mark of his Ozark days.
