The next project from five-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón ("Gravity," "Roma") is coming to the small screen. "DISCLAIMER*," based on the 2015 book of the same name by Renée Knight, follows an acclaimed journalist (Cate Blanchett) who unexpectedly learns she is the main character in a novel by an unknown author, revealing secrets from her past that she tried to keep hidden. "The book came to me, the writer sent it to me, and I read it. I immediately saw a film there," said Cuarón, who directed and wrote all seven episodes of the psychological thriller limited series. "Now, I didn't know how to do it in a short format, so I let it go. It was not until years later that I thought about it as a series." Cuarón said he knew two-time Oscar-winning actress Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine," "The Aviator") was his leading lady from the beginning. "Cate was fundamental because she was in my head from the moment I decided I wanted to make a film, even when I thought it was going to be a short version," Cuarón said. "I was very lucky she agreed on doing it. She became my partner. That's a reason she's an executive producer because it's not cosmetic. She was involved in every single decision." New episodes of "DISCLAIMER*" are released Fridays through Nov. 15 on Apple TV+.
