Rabbit Hole has dropped its first two episodes today, introducing Sutherland as corporate spy John Weir, who finds himself framed for murder by a powerful, unknown entity.

As he strives to clear his name, Weir uncovers a dangerous plot against democracy that would have dire consequences for people around the world.

Speaking to Collider, Sutherland spoke of how Rabbit Hole is an homage of sorts: "We were gonna kind of hearken back to these thrillers from the ‘70s, like Three Days of the Condor and The Parallax View and Marathon Man.

"Now, these are all the films that I grew up on and that I have such fond memories of, and that, when I started my career, I really wanted to get to do those films, those kinds of movies that I watched."

Here's everything you need to know about the hot new political thriller.

Rabbit Hole release date

CONFIRMED: Rabbit Hole launches on Paramount Plus on Monday 27th March 2023.

Like other Paramount Plus originals, the show will follow a weekly release schedule.

Rabbit Hole cast

Kiefer Sutherland leads the cast of Rabbit Hole, which sees him return to the spy thriller genre where he previously found great popularity as the star of 24.

In this offering he plays John Weir, a corporate spy framed for murder, who uncovers a sinister plot against democracy whilst fighting to clear his name.

Screen legend Charles Dance, who has appeared in everything from Game of Thrones to The Crown to Godzilla, co-stars as Dr Ben Wilson, a mysterious client of John's.

The cast also features Rob Yang (Succession), Meta Golding (Empire), Jason Butler Harner (The Handmaid's Tale), Ishan Davé (Kim's Convenience) and Wendy Makkena (Sister Act).

What is Rabbit Hole about?

Rabbit Hole follows John Weir, a slick corporate spy who usually has no trouble deceiving his targets. However, when he's framed for murder, he finds himself battling for survival.

An unknown entity with seemingly limitless influence wants him off the board, and when John does some digging he stumbles onto a plot that threatens the future of democracy itself.
