An Italian summer holiday in the sun — what could go wrong? Well, that holiday, two decades earlier, was a particularly forbidden one for Catherine Ravenscroft — a holiday with catastrophic consequences in the present, leading to a secret she’s kept for 20 years now suddenly blown into the open as if on a coldhearted breeze.

That’s the premise of Alfonso Cuarón’s elegant Apple TV+ adaptation of “Disclaimer,” originally a page-turning 2015 novel by Renée Knight, and now a seven-part series starring a superb Cate Blanchett in one of her finest performances. Equally strong is Leila George as the younger, perhaps idealized version of Catherine in literary flashback, haunted by a brief and doomed romance with Jonathan (Louis Partridge).

In the present day, his cranky, gray-haired father (played by a cranky, gray-haired Kevin Kline) is stalking the adult Ravenscroft (Blanchett) to exact revenge for what happened to her son all those 20 years ago in Italy. Sacha Baron Cohen plays Catherine’s husband — who grows flustered after a novel inscribed to Catherine shows up on their doorstep detailing the events from two decades ago — with Kodi Smit-McPhee as her drug-addicted, detached son. Watch the official full trailer below.

The series premiere at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, where Oscar (and perhaps eventual Emmy) winners Blanchett and Cuarón described the series to IndieWire as feeling slightly “dangerous.” Cuarón also said that he treated the seven-episode series like a long movie, shooting it as he would any of his other films, from “Gravity” to “Roma.” “Probably at this stage of my life, it’s too late to learn how to direct TV,” he said at Venice.

Emmanuel Lubezki and Bruno Delbonnel split cinematography duties on “Disclaimer,” which flashes from a soul-dampened, clammy London to a more ravenous Italian seaside, and often in long takes that capture just-as-long sex acts. Or feverish, operatic runs through the street. Finneas O’Connell provides a score that feels slightly dangerous, too, especially in the series’ final hours.

The first two episodes of “Disclaimer” drop on Apple TV+ on Friday, October 11, with the rest to follow weekly. Read IndieWire’s rave review from TV critic Ben Travers here.

Disclaimer follows acclaimed journalist Catherine Ravenscroft (Blanchett, 55), who “built her reputation revealing the misdeeds and transgressions of others,” per the official synopsis. But when Catherine is sent a novel by an unknown author, “she is horrified to realize she is now the main character in a story that exposes her darkest secrets.”

As she tries to find out the writer’s true identity, she has to “confront her past before it destroys both her own life” and her relationships with both her husband, Robert (Baron Cohen, 52), and their son Nicholas (Smit-McPhee, 28).

The trailer opens with Catherine sitting beside her husband moments before she receives a journalism award. Quickly, the trailer cuts to Robert toasting to Catherine in their home.

“All these years, you have concealed parts of yourself from the world,” begins an unidentified narrator over scenes of Catherine's life. “You keep everyone in the dark to maintain a balance, and you think you have succeeded… until now.”

A fire alarm starts ringing over a black screen, which then shows Catherine burning a book in her kitchen sink as Robert races over in a hurry, shouting, “Catherine? Catherine! What are you doing?”

The trailer then transitions to Kline, 76, who says in a voiceover, “They say that destiny knocks at the door. That is not true. Destiny doesn’t knock on any door. It crashes in without permission and grabs you mercilessly by your soul.”

“She needed to feel it,” he says as a montage of his character in the past and present abruptly plays, showcasing the loss of a relative and his grief-stricken reaction. Threaded into the montage, clips of Leila George and Louis Partridge’s characters fall in love and are then suddenly hit by an unrevealed tragedy. “She needed to suffer. As I had,” Kline’s narration adds.

“The world needs to know who Catherine Ravenscroft really is,” Kline’s character proclaims, as the trailer comes to a close. “The world needs to know the truth.”
