HBO’s forthcoming The Undoing starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant has dropped a new trailer and has set a premiere date of May 10 for the limited series directed by Emmy, Oscar and Golden Globe winner Susanne Bier and Emmy-winning creator of Big Little Lies David E. Kelley.
The six-part limited series based on Jean Hanff Korelitz’s book You Should Have Known. The story centers on Grace Sachs (Kidman), who is living the only life she ever wanted for herself. She’s a successful therapist, has a devoted husband (Grant) and young son (Noah Jupe) who attends an elite private school in New York City. Overnight a chasm opens in her life: a violent death, a missing husband, and, in the place of a man Grace thought she knew, only a chain of terrible revelations. Left behind in the wake of a spreading and very public disaster, and horrified by the ways in which she has failed to heed her own advice, Grace must dismantle one life and create another for her child and herself.
Donald Sutherland, Edgar Ramirez, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Matilda De Angelis as Elena Alves, Lily Rabe, Noma Dumezweni and Sofie Gråbøl also star. The series is created and written for television by Kelley who also serves as showrunner while Bier will direct. The two will serve as executive producers alongside Kidman and Per Saari through Blossom Films, Bruna Papandrea through Made Up Stories, Stephen Garrett and Celia Costas.
