Apple TV+ has today presented the first teaser of Disclaimer, one of the most anticipated series of 2024, written and directed by the five-time Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón, and starring two Oscar-winning actors: Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline.

Blanchett plays in this thrilling psychological thriller based on the novel of the same name by Renée Knight, Catherine Ravenscroft, a respected television documentary journalist whose work has been based on revealing the hidden transgressions of the most influential institutions.

When an intriguing novel appears on her nightstand, Catherine is horrified to realize that she is a key character in a story she hoped would remain buried in the past for a long time.

Catherine rushes to uncover the true identity of the writer, and in the meantime is forced to confront her past before it destroys both her own life and her relationships with her husband Robert (Sacha Baron Cohen) and her son Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee). The cast also includes Lesley Manville, Louis Partridge, Leila George, and Hoyeon.

Announced in 2021, this is the first project of the Mexican director, screenwriter, and producer after his collaboration with Netflix on Roma. Cuarón signed a development deal with Apple TV+ in 2019 and this adaptation will be the first production between both parties to see the light.

Cuarón will be accompanied by two old collaborators, the producer Gabriela Rodriguez, and the two-time Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki. The music is composed by multiple award-winning Oscar and GRAMMY winner Finneas O'Connell.

For Blanchett, this will be her first starring project on television since her role as conservative Phyllis Schlafly in Mrs. America, for which she was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe. The challenge here will be to portray an influential woman who sees her secrets exposed in a way that jeopardizes the future of her career and family.

The author of the mysterious novel will mark Kevin Kline's first role in a series, a veteran actor who joined the project replacing Gary Oldman, who now stars in Slow Horses on the same platform.

The seven-episode miniseries will make its worldwide debut on Apple TV+ on Friday, October 11 with the first two episodes, followed by a new episode every Friday until November 15.
