“Wild Rabbit”
Fremantle and Passenger joining forces with 20th Television to develop the drama “Wild Rabbit” (1 hr drama) for Hulu. The title is a creation of Randy McKinnon ("Chambers") directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green ("Monsters and Men", "Top Boy") and the executive producers are Richard Brown ("True Detective", "Catch-22"), Stephen Love ("The Land"), Randy McKinnon and Reinaldo Marcus Green.
“Wild Rabbit” is inspired by events from McKinnon’s own life and follows college sports phenom Montel Harris who has the world at his fingertips. But life changes after he is assaulted and suffers a career-ending injury just weeks before draft day. Now forced to figure out a new plan to survive his impoverished Miami neighborhood and take care of his family, he is lured into the dark underworld of performance-enhancing drugs. Above all, “Wild Rabbit” is a love story exploring perseverance, passion, and true partnership.
Randy McKinnon said:“’Wild Rabbit’ is a deeply personal story that I have the great pleasure to be partnering with Hulu and 20th to bring to life. It was immediately clear that they both share and support my pursuit of creating elevated storytelling for diverse global audiences.”
Reinaldo Marcus Green added: “Randy McKinnon is a force to be reckoned with. He’s written a compelling and beautiful piece that I trust will be around for years to come. I’m honoured to be a part of ‘Wild Rabbit’ and it’s unique, fresh, fun, and urgent storytelling. Richard Brown and Stephen ‘Dr’ Love are a powerhouse producing team that any director would be lucky to have.”
