Jason Bateman is currently filming his new Netflix series Black Rabbit, and photos showcasing his new look have appeared online.

The Ozark and Arrested Development actor has grown his hair and is sporting a fuller, scraggy beard, giving him a slightly dishevelled look.

Although plot details are being kept mostly under wraps, we do know that the series is set in New York City's nightlife scene, and that Bateman's character Vince Friedken is officially described as "chaotic."

Jude Law plays Bateman's on-screen brother Jake Friedken, and as we can see in this second filming, he's looking better-groomed and more sharply-dressed.

From the synopsis, we know that Jake is the owner of a popular NYC hotspot, who lets his brother back into life, and soon finds that everything he's built is at risk of falling to pieces.

As well as starring in the show, Bateman serves as executive producer and is directing the first two episodes.

Other cast members include Gangs of London and Slow Horses' Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Succession's Dagmara Dominczyk, Rebel Moon: Part One — A Child of Fire's Cleopatra Coleman, The Mandalorian's Troy Kotsur, The Boys in the Band's Robin De Jesus, and Killers of the Flower Moon and Tulsa King's Steve Witting, to name just a few.

Bateman has quite a few projects lined up, including another Netflix series he is expected to direct and star in. This one is an adaptation of an article called 'Daddy's Ball' and focuses on a sporting rivalry between two brothers.

There's also a supernatural western called The Pinkerton, which he is set to direct with JJ Abrams on board as a producer.

Joe Anderton is a freelance news writer and resident Welsh person at Digital Spy, having worked there since 2016. 

In his time he's covered a host of live events, interviewed celebrities big and small and crowbarred a countless amount of great/awful (delete as appropriate) puns into articles. 

A big fan of TV and movies both mainstream and obscure, Joe's main interest is in video gaming. Although particularly a PlayStation gamer, he plays across Xbox, Nintendo and PC/Steam Deck, and likes to keep tabs on many games he's not got the time to play.

Joe currently does not use Twitter, but he only ever used it to tell people to watch the film Help! I'm a Fish (which you really should do).
