A revered London journalist’s life seems picture-perfect at the start of the new trailer for Apple TV+ psychological thriller series Disclaimer. But by the end of the trailer, she stands on the precipice of ugly ruin.
Created and directed by five-time Academy Award winner Alfonso Cuarón, Disclaimer stars Cate Blanchett as the journalist, Sacha Baron Cohen as her supportive husband, and Kevin Kline as a man bent on destroying her by revealing “the truth.” The trailer for Disclaimer, released Tuesday, looks seriously enthralling. The show premieres October 11 on Apple TV+.
UPDATE: Alfonso Cuarón’s Disclaimer series started streaming Friday on Apple TV+. Reviews seem mixed, to say the least. One reviewer called it “the best TV show of the year” while another damned it as a “flaccid, pretentious slog.” You better watch it and make up your own mind.
Disclaimer trailer for Alfonso Cuarón’s psychothiller series looks enthralling
After a skimpy but intriguing teaser trailer, it’s good to see one with much more meat on the bone. Apple TV+ noted Disclaimer is a limited series, so its seven “chapters” should be the whole of it. Judging by the darkly enthralling Disclaimer trailer and the talent behind the show — it’s written and directed by five-time Academy Award winner Cuarón (Children of Men, Gravity, Roma) and stars Academy Award winners Blanchett and Kline, plus Academy Award nominee Baron Cohen — that should be enough for a challenging and richly rewarding viewing experience. Cuarón adapated the story from Renée Knight’s bestselling novel of the same name.
Here’s the streamer’s description of the limited series’ plot and cast:
Acclaimed journalist Catherine Ravenscroft (Blanchett) built her reputation revealing the misdeeds and transgressions of others. When she receives a novel from an unknown author, she is horrified to realize she is now the main character in a story that exposes her darkest secrets and threatens to destroy her family.
As Catherine races to uncover the writer’s true identity, she is forced to confront her past before it destroys her life and her relationships with her husband Robert (Baron Cohen) and son Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee). The ensemble cast includes Kline, Lesley Manville, Louis Partridge, Leila George and Hoyeon, and features Indira Varma as the narrator.
