“Disclaimer” Teaser Reveals Alfonso Cuarón’s Star-Studded Limited Series
Apple TV+ has released the first teaser for Disclaimer, the star-studded limited series written and directed by five-time Oscar-winner Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Roma). Cuarón’s series is based on Renée Knight’s bestselling novel and follows the journalist Catherine Ravenscroft (another Osar-winner in Cate Blanchett), a well-respected journo whose career was made uncovering the shadowy deeds of others. What happens when Ravenscroft is sent a novel by a mysterious author who seems to have turned the journalist into the main character? And what’s worse, what happens if all of Ravenscorft’s darkest secrets are exposed in the story?
So, the seasoned reporter suddenly finds herself on a very personal story, trying to suss out who this mysterious author is before her life unravels and her relationships, specifically with her husband Robert (Sacha Baron Cohen) and their son Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee), are changed forever.
Befitting a filmmaker of Cuarón’s stature, Blanchett, Cohen, and Smit-McPhee are joined by more stellar performers, including the great Lesley Manville, Kevin Kline, Louis Partridge, Leila George, and Hoyeon. Indira Varma plays the narrator.
Disclaimer unfolds in seven chapters, beginning with the October 11 premiere of the first two episodes, followed by a new episode every Friday. The series is the first for the hugely talented Cuarón in his overall deal with Apple TV+. He once again works with his Oscar-winner cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and the six-time Oscar nominee Burno Delbonnel, a cinematographer who, among others, worked for the Coen brothers.
