Crime series enthusiasts won't have to wait long for another thriller, as Black Rabbit will hit Netflix on September 18, 2025. This means that the awaited project by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman will arrive on our screens in just a few days.

What's interesting about the storyline is that it shows two very distinct brothers: Jake Friedken and Vinny Friedken. Unlike typical siblings, Jake is an incredibly successful businessman, while Vince has been trapped in drug problems and gambling.

Not only this, Vince is also being chased by loan sharks, which puts his life in danger. Despite the old wounds and a kind of past Jake wouldn't want to face, he decides to help his younger brother.

Their bond in Black Rabbit is expected to become their strength, with a risk of their downfall. Since the series serves as a crime thriller, fans can expect action scenes and unmissable fights between the characters.

Black Rabbit was entirely filmed in New York City to offer an authentic and intense look into the series. As for the filming duration, the production team only took a few months, from April 19, 2024 to September 25, 2024.

The decision to film on location, rather than relying on soundstages, is directly related to the story itself. Since the show is about a man trying to impose order on a city filled with chaos, New York’s real streets and energy were seen as the perfect backdrop.

So, here are the places where the camera was rolled for this upcoming crime thriller:

Manhattan: Some of the most recognizable filming took place here. Times Square, captured in the early morning light, provided a striking setting. The lobby of the titular club was shot here, with the location being near the Brooklyn River in the series.

Brooklyn: As mentioned above, Brooklyn played a huge role during the production, and the spots used include Dyker Heights along 74th Street, and in Williamsburg at The Commodore, a bar located at Metropolitan and Havemeyer.

Queens and West Village: While complete details remain hidden, some sequences were filmed here as well, showing that multiple boroughs were used to capture New York’s diversity.

Another interesting detail about the filming of Black Rabbit crime drama is that the team didn’t just stick to iconic tourist spots. They utilized real city settings to make the story look real and exciting to watch.

Since most of the action will take place on the streets, many spots were used for filming. The production team also used urban spaces, nightclubs, street corners and more to capture the intensity of the show.
