Kiefer Sutherland admits he’s not feeling well and hasn’t slept for a few days in the opening seconds of Paramount+’s Rabbit Hole teaser trailer. Sutherland’s character John Weir drinks, takes pills, doesn’t trust anyone, and can’t tell the difference between what’s real and what’s not. Deception is reality, and the enemy is everywhere. Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?
Joining Kiefer Sutherland in the eight-episode season are Charles Dance (Game of Thrones) as Dr. Ben Wilson, Meta Golding (Empire) as Hailey Winton, Enid Graham (Mare of Easttown) as Josephine “Jo” Madi, Jason Butler Harner (Ozark) as Valence, Rob Yang (Succession) as Edward Homm, and Walt Klink (The English) as The Intern.
Paramount+ has set a March 26, 2023 premiere date. The first two episodes will arrive on March 26th, followed by new episodes every Sunday.
