Rabbit Hole has dropped its first two episodes today, introducing Sutherland as corporate spy John Weir, who finds himself framed for murder by a powerful, unknown entity.

As he strives to clear his name, Weir uncovers a dangerous plot against democracy that would have dire consequences for people around the world.

Speaking to Collider, Sutherland spoke of how Rabbit Hole is an homage of sorts: "We were gonna kind of hearken back to these thrillers from the ‘70s, like Three Days of the Condor and The Parallax View and Marathon Man.

"Now, these are all the films that I grew up on and that I have such fond memories of, and that, when I started my career, I really wanted to get to do those films, those kinds of movies that I watched."
