Kiefer Sutherland's new show, Rabbit Hole, is coming this fall to Paramount+. The son of legendary actor Donald Sutherland, Kiefer is the man behind a pair of hit network dramas, Fox's 24 and ABC's Designated Survivor, the latter of which moved to Netflix for its third and final season. While Sutherland is best known for his role as the CTU ( Counter Terrorist Unit) agent Jack Bauer on 24, he more recently starred in Designated Survivor as Thomas Kirkman, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development who unexpectedly becomes President of the United States.

The previously untitled spy-thriller series is from the minds of John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, who directed the pilot episodes of NBC's This is Us and Apple TV+'s WeCrashed. Sutherland stars as a private espionage operative James Weir who takes on the powers that be in a battle for the preservation of democracy in a world plagued with misinformation, behavioral manipulation, and unwarranted surveillance.
