The eight-film series earned more than $7.7 billion globally, sparking significant anticipation for a fresh take on the books.

Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, who are well-known for their roles in Ozark
and their behind-the-scenes work as directors, are heading back together for another Netflix project:
Black Rabbit
, a drama set in New York City, will have Bateman as both star and director for the first two episodes, while Linney will direct episodes three and four but will not be on screen, as per a report from Netflix Tudum.
