The official trailer for the upcoming Apple TV+ series Disclaimer has dropped, and it’s more thrilling than finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag!
Starring the powerhouse trio of Cate Blanchett, Kevin Kline, and Sacha Baron Cohen (who apparently agreed to show up without any outrageous costumes this time), this psychological thriller unfolds over seven partsβkind of like your favorite TV series, but with a lot less laughter and a lot more βOh no, did they just do that?!β moments. And guess whoβs pulling the strings? None other than Alfonso CuarΓ³n, the guy who probably has a few Oscars lying around like theyβre old DVDs. Heβs not only writing and directing every single episode but also executive producing, which means heβs basically the boss of all things Disclaimer. Oh, and Cateβs in on that action tooβbecause why not take on multiple jobs?
Hereβs the scoop: We meet Catherine Ravenscroft (played by the fabulous Blanchett), a journalist whose job is to dig up dirt on everyone else, like a professional gossip hound. But things take a wild turn when she receives a novel from an anonymous authorβwho definitely isnβt sliding into her DMsβonly to find out that sheβs the star of the show! And not in a good way. The book reveals all her darkest secrets, like that time she forgot her husbandβs birthday. Cue the dramatic music!
As Catherine races against time to figure out whoβs spilling her beansβbecause you know, family drama is like her favorite soap operaβshe has to confront her past, which is just as awkward as running into your ex at a party. Meanwhile, her husband Robert (played by Cohen) and son Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee) are just trying to survive the emotional rollercoaster.
Also gracing the screen are Louis Partridge, Leila George, Hoyeon, and Indira Varma, whoβs likely reading the script and thinking, βWhat did I sign up for?β
Mark your calendars because Disclaimer is set to kick off with the first two episodes on Friday, October 11th, on Apple TV+. After that, itβs new episodes every Fridayβbecause whatβs better than a thrilling binge-watch to end your week?
Oh, and just a month ago, the cast strut their stuff on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival, probably wearing sunglasses indoors because, you know, celebrity. ππΏβ¨
