Cuaron, Blanchett Launch Psychological Thriller 'Disclaimer'

The new Apple TV+ series 'Disclaimer,' directed by Oscar-winner Alfonso Cuarón, presents a psychological thriller that prompts viewers to reconsider their judgments. Based on Renée Knight's 2015 novel, the seven-part series stars Cate Blanchett as Catherine Ravenscroft, a documentary-maker whose past is threatened when a book detailing her dark secrets surfaces. The author, a retired teacher named Stephen (played by Kevin Kline), aims to expose her story, endangering her reputation and relationships. Blanchett's character is described as seemingly passive yet deeply complex, and her involvement in the project led to significant script revisions. The series, which also features Sacha Baron Cohen and Lesley Manville, is set to premiere on October 11, 2024, and combines intricate narratives with themes of judgment and perception, as highlighted by both Blanchett and Cuarón.
