Disclaimer Trailer Previews New Psychological Thriller Starring Cate Blanchett

Apple TV+ has unveiled the full trailer for Disclaimer, an upcoming seven-part psychological thriller starring Academy Award winners Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline. 

Written and directed by five-time Academy Award winner Alfonso Cuarón, Disclaimer is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Renée Knight.

What happens in the Disclaimer trailer?

A story told in seven chapters, the trailer for Disclaimer introduces viewers to Blanchett’s Catherine Ravenscroft — an acclaimed journalist known for unraveling the misdeeds and atrocities of other people. 

To maintain balance, Catherine — for the longest time — has concealed some parts of herself from the world. But that would soon change when an unknown author sends her a book titled “The Perfect Stranger,” which seems to expose all her secrets. Shen then reveals that the story is about her as she burns the book, with the author confirmed to be on a quest to expose Catherine as “the world [needed] to know the truth.”

“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 and threatens to destroy her family,” the synopsis reads. “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 (Cohen) and son Nicholas (Smit-McPhee).”

Disclaimer is set to premiere its first two episodes on Apple TV+ on Friday, October 11, followed by new episodes arriving on Fridays.
