Apple TV+ will premiere the new limited series Disclaimer, featuring Cate Blanchett. The psychological thriller is based on the Renée Knight novel, with the seven-part television adaptation written and directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón (Y tu mamá también, Gravity).
Blanchett stars as Catherine Ravenscroft, an acclaimed journalist “who built her reputation revealing the misdeeds and transgressions of others. When she receives a novel from an unknown author, she is horrified to realize she is now the main character in a story that exposes her deepest secrets and threatens to destroy her family. As Catherine races to uncover the writer’s true identity, she is forced to confront her past before it destroys her life and her relationships with her husband Robert (Sacha Baron Cohen) and son Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee).”
The streaming service dropped a trailer for Disclaimer, which shows Catherine (Blanchett) try to keep her “deadly secret” as flashbacks show glimpses of a romantic tryst from her past. Meanwhile, the author of the book appears to be a grieving father (Kevin Kline). Louis Partridge, Lesley Manville, Leila George and Hoyeon also star.
Disclaimer will have a two-episode premiere Oct. 11, followed by new episodes every Friday. See the trailer: HERE.
