The green light is on for a new Netflix limited series starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman.

On Friday, Netflix announced that "Black Rabbit," its latest creative partnership with Aggregate Films, will be starred in and executive produced by the two actors.

Bateman, who will also direct the series' first two episodes, will executive produce alongside Michael Costigan under their production company, Aggregate Films.

On the other hand, Law, alongside Ben Jackson, will executive produce under Riff Raff Entertainment. Joining them as executive producers are Zach Baylin and Kate Susman from Youngblood Pictures, Andrew Hinderaker, Zac Frognowski, Justin Levy and David Bernon.

Baylin and Susman, the creators and co-executive producers of the show, will also write the script. Baylin is known for writing "King Richard," while his wife, Susman, worked on "The Order."
