If you’re like us, you’ve been following the brilliant last season of Succession as the Roy clan makes its final bow. One of the HBO show’s breakout stars is Sarah Snook, who plays Roy’s youngest child Shiv, and the actress is now set to appear in a tense new thriller from Netflix. Run Rabbit Run is a drama with horror elements, and is on track to release on the platform next month, and focuses on the difficult relationship between a mother (played by Snook) and her daughter (Lily LaTorre).

Here’s All You Need To Know About Run Rabbit Run

The film is an Australian production, with the Aussie Succession star being directed by Daina Reid, whose previous directorial work includes episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale and last year’s thriller The Shining Girls. The script meanwhile comes from novelist Hannah Kent, known for her books Burial Rites and The Good People.

Snook’s character, Sarah, is a fertility doctor whose relationship with her daughter, Mia, begins to become more and more strained. Mia has started acting strangely and is clearly troubled by something. As her strange behaviour gets more disturbing and erratic, the increasingly concerned Sarah starts looking for help.

Netflix’s official trailer for Run Rabbit Run raises more questions than it answers, but it still offers some tantalising clues as to what to expect. It certainly begins in creepy fashion, with Mia asking her mother during a car ride whether people can “come back” from the dead. It’s then revealed that Sarah had a sister named Alice, now missing and presumed dead. Sarah notices strange similarities between Alice and Mia, with both finding a love for wild rabbits and Mia being the same age as Sarah’s sister when she vanished. Mia takes to constantly wearing a rabbit mask and starts saying that she literally “is” Alice, which seriously disturbs her mother. As things escalate, Sarah begins to contemplate and face her past. Mia claims that her mother “doesn’t like her” and wants her to be gone- is this what the relationship between Sarah and Alice was like, or perhaps her parents? You’ll have to watch yourself to find out.

The rest of Run Rabbit Run’s cast includes Mindhunter and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star Damon Herriman, and Greta Scaachi (Emma, Presumed Innocent). The atmospheric and creepy thriller debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and will arrive on Netflix 28th June (coincidentally a month after Succession’s final episode).
