“All these years, you have concealed parts of yourself from the world…” That’s the sound of Alfonso Cuaron making his Apple TV+ debut with Disclaimer – and a new trailer gives us a proper look at the psychological thriller.

The seven-part series is based on the novel of the same name by Renée Knight. It follows acclaimed journalist Catherine Ravenscroft (Blanchett), who has built her reputation revealing the misdeeds and transgressions of others. When she receives a novel from an unknown author, she is horrified to realise she is now the main character in a story that exposes her darkest secrets. 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 (Sacha Baron Cohen), and their son, Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee). The ensemble cast includes Lesley Manville, Louis Partridge, Leila George and Hoyeon, and features Indira Varma as the narrator.

You can see them in action on 11th October, when the first two episodes arrive on Apple TV+ – followed by new episodes weekly until the finale on 15th November. Here’s the trailer:
