Rabbit Hole: Kiefer Sutherland On Paramount’s Lack Of Transparency For Season 2

Fans have enjoyed season 1 of Rabbit Hole starring Kiefer Sutherland in the lead role of John Weir. Meanwhile, it turns out Sutherland is keen to do a second season of the thriller series. However, he has no idea whether Paramount+ will pick the series up for season 2. The 24 star also accused streamers of lack of transparency when it comes to renewing series as compared with networks.

Kiefer Sutherland wants season 2 of Rabbit Hole

The Paramount+ series Rabbit Hole debuted on March 27 and tells the story of John Weir, a master of deception in the world of corporate espionage. However, nothing is what it seems with Weir, who is framed for murder by powerful forces, with the ability to influence and control populations.

While season 1 is streaming on the platform, viewers are wondering what is happening about a potential season 2 of the John Requa and Glenn Ficarra series. In a recent interview with TV Insider, Keifer Sutherland, who plays John Weir opened up about wanting a second season for the thriller series.

“I absolutely adored working on the show, and I absolutely love John and Glenn and their process, and I just absolutely love the cast,” Sutherland gushed, adding, “It was an extraordinary group of people, and we had an awful lot of fun working, and yeah, I hope we get to do it again.”

Differences between a network and a streamer

Sutherland explained that he has no idea if Paramount+ will renew the series for season 2. He then went on to share the difference between working on a show for a network and a streamer. Fans will recall Sutherland’s role in the exciting series, 24, which ran for 10 years. Meanwhile, he also did three years of Designated Survivor, along with two years of Touch. He said those were all network-based shows at the time they were made.

According to the Rabbit Hole lead actor, “With the networks, there was a relationship somehow that would get developed pretty quickly and you would know. You would get a sense it would be leaning one way or another, and you would pretty much know as you were finishing up your season what was going to happen.”

However, Kiefer continued, saying:

With the streaming services — with Paramount+ and my experience with Netflix, and I have to believe with all of them because I’ve heard this from other actors and writers as well – there’s kind of a wall between the group that makes whatever the programming is and the people that actually program it, and I don’t know why, but Nielsen’s not publishing the ratings for these shows particularly.

Sutherland explained that there is a lot of “counting and figuring that’s going on that really, you’re not involved with at all,” adding, “So it is very odd to not have a sense of where they stand with it.”
