Disclaimer: Apple TV+ Previews Cate Blanchett, Alfonso Cuarón Series
Apple TV+ previewed Alfonso Cuarón's Cate Blanchett-starring adaptation of the novel Disclaimer, set to hit the streamer on October 11th.
Disclaimer is a highly anticipated new series coming to Apple TV+. It is from acclaimed director Alfonso Cuarón, who both writes and directs the adaptation of the novel of the same name by Renée Knight. The thriller stars an amazing cast, including Cate Blanchett, Kevin Kline, Sacha Baron Cohen, Leslie Manville, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Louis Partridge, Leila George, and Hoyeon. This is high-concept, as a woman receives a novel and realizes that she is the star of the book, which reveals all of her darkest secrets. You can see the first image of Blanchett in Disclaimer below. The first two episodes will debut on the streaming service globally on Friday, October 11th, and every Friday after through November 15th.
Disclaimer: Here's What Apple TV+ Has to Say…
The streaming series is based on the bestselling novel Disclaimer by Renée Knight. 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. As Catherine races to uncover the writer's true identity, she is forced to confront her past before it destroys both her own life and her relationships with her husband, Robert (Cohen), and their son, Nicholas (Smit-McPhee).
What a great cast! I'm just concerned that Disclaimer is on Apple TV+. Look, I am not trying to knock the service—I actually like it. But it is very hard to get people to watch shows on that platform because it just doesn't register with them like Netflix, Prime Video, or Max. I have lost track of how many people I have recommended their shows to, only to say that it is on Apple TV+ and have them say, "Oh, never mind, then." Hopefully, with this caliber of series, that should not be an issue – and help sell the streaming service, too. Apple TV+'s Disclaimer debuts on October 11th.
