Alfonso Cuarón on first Apple TV+ series Disclaimer, Cate Blanchett and how he makes shows
How does Gravity and Roma director Alfonso Cuarón make a TV show? Look to Cate Blanchett vehicle Disclaimer, on Apple TV+, for the answer
Director Alfonso Cuarón is taking on prestige television with Disclaimer, a seven-part psychological thriller starring fellow Oscar winners Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline, but he said the result is still a film – just a very long one.
It is not the first time that the Mexican filmmaker has worked on the small screen – he co-created the short-lived series Believe, which aired in the United States on broadcasting channel NBC a decade ago.
The limited series, the first project in Cuarón’s multi-year deal with streaming service Apple TV+, stars Blanchett as Catherine Ravenscroft, a journalist whose life is upended when she receives a novel that seemingly recounts the intimate details of her darkest secret.
That buried indiscretion involved the dead son of Stephen Brigstocke (Kline), a widower with a mean streak who is clearly bent on revenge.
