Rabbit Hole Creators Glenn Ficarra & John Requa Talk Espionage & David Fincher
9If you’re looking for the next solid story and character-driven series, look no further than Paramount+’s espionage thriller, Rabbit Hole. Not only is it packed with action and stars like Kiefer Sutherland and Charles Dance, but the creators and showrunners, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, mapped their show out with more for more seasons to come. With plot points and Easter eggs in mind, the duo behind Bad Santa sat down with Collider’s Steve Weintraub to discuss their intention with the series going forward, and the concrete plans they have for these characters.
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.
Before Rabbit Hole premiered on Paramount+, writers and directors Ficarra and Requa discuss their plans for the series, which they tell us is intended to be multi-seasonal, branching off with other characters and even diving into the past. The duo talk about the research that went into this espionage thriller, citing influences like David Fincher and real companies that inspired the material, and explain how Rabbit Hole is more than a passive television show, but an “engaging” and interactive puzzle. They also share stories from the production of Bad Santa with Mickey Rooney and the Coen brothers.
