What is Nicole Kidman’s Discretion show about?
Nicole Kidman’s Discretion is written and executive produced by Baker, the author and a former corporate lawyer.
The series follows a lawyer named Lenny who uncovers a dark corporate secret involving NDAs while working as a summer associate at a prestigious Dallas law firm. The discovery sets off a dangerous battle between Lenny and her mentor, the firm’s powerful partner, Sharon, upending their mentor-protégé dynamic and raising the question: who gets to keep secrets, and at what cost?
Unlike the newly added members, the previously announced cast have received their respective roles. The show will feature Kidman as Sharon, Fanning as Lenny, Lucas as Greg, Ryan as Boone, and James as Logan.
Susannah Grant, Kidman, Per Saari, Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning, Brittany Kahan Ward, Joe Hipps, Jordan Cerf, and Matt Shakman serve as executive producers. Shakman will direct the first four episodes of the eight-episode series. Production for Discretion is still underway.
