What happens

Rabbits is a 2002 surrealist horror web series created by David Lynch. The series depicts three humanoid rabbits, played by Scott Coffey, Laura Elena Harring and Naomi Watts, who inhabit a living room. Their disjointed, bizarre conversations are occasionally interrupted by a laugh track. Rabbits is presented with the tagline "In a nameless city deluged by a continuous rain... three rabbits live with a fearful mystery". Lynch himself referred to the series as a sitcom. Rabbits originally consisted of eight digitally-filmed episodes shown exclusively on Lynch's website. The films were made available on DVD in the 2008 Lime Green Box Set collection of Lynch's films, in a re-edited four-episode version that does not contain episode three. In 2020, select episodes of the series were uploaded to Lynch's official YouTube channel. The set and some footage of the Rabbits were reused in Lynch's 2006 feature film Inland Empire.
