‘Disclaimer’ Trailer: Cate Blanchett’s Skeletons Rattle the Closet Door

The official trailer for Apple TV+’s psychological thriller Disclaimer ends, fittingly enough, with a disclaimer: “Any resemblance to persons living or dead is not a coincidence.” But before that appears, Cate Blanchett is tormented by the threat that secrets from her past are about to be made public.

Oscar winner Kevin Kline, three-time Oscar nominee Sacha Baron Cohen, and Oscar nominee Kodi Smit-McPhee star, in addition to two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett. The cast also includes Oscar nominee Lesley Manville, Louis Partridge, Leila George, Hoyeon, and Indira Varma as the narrator.

“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,” reads Apple TV+’s synopsis. “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 seven-episode series is based on Renée Knight’s novel and was written and directed by five-time Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón. Cuarón, Gabriela Rodriguez, Cate Blanchett, David Levine, Emmanuel Lubezki, Donald Sabourin, Carlos Morales, and the late Steve Golin also executive produce. Author Knight is a co-executive producer.

Disclaimer premieres on October 11, 2024 with the release of the first two episodes. New episodes stream on Fridays.
