In Paramount+’s new espionage thriller series, Rabbit Hole, Kiefer Sutherland’s John Weir can’t trust anyone in his line of work, not those unseen nor his closest confidantes. Two of those characters are portrayed by Game of Thrones’ Charles Dance and Empire’s Meta Golding, who play Dr. Ben Wilson and Hailey Winton, respectively. On the promotional trail for the upcoming series, the two sat down with Collider’s Steve Weintraub to discuss the unexpected twists, and how Rabbit Hole “keeps you on your toes,” and “reflects quite accurately what is happening in the real world.”
In Rabbit Hole, John Weir (Sutherland) is an expert in manipulation, dealing specifically in corporate espionage and aiding companies in muddying the reputations of their competitors. When the target of one of Weir’s gigs winds up murdered, he finds himself at the center of a struggle to preserve democracy, and mysterious, string-pulling powers frame him for the crime. In the fight for his innocence, Weir must take on an invisible enemy that is, essentially, everywhere.
Ahead of its March 26 premiere on Paramount+, Dance and Golding go on a deep-dive with us into the shady goings-on of corporations and “the misuse of personal data and the manipulation of people's personal data” that influences the show’s premise. They also talk about the unpredictable character arcs that caught them off guard and what would surprise viewers to learn about the production of the series.
