'Disclaimer' is produced by Cuaron's Esperanto Filmoj and Anonymous Content. Cuaron serves as executive producer alongside Esperanto Filmoj's Gabriela Rodriguez and Anonymous Content's David Levine, Dawn Olmstead and the late Steve Golin, and Blanchett.

Academy Award-winner Emmanuel Lubezki (Gravity) and Academy Award nominee Bruno Delbonnel (The Tragedy of Macbeth) will serve as directors of photography on the project.

This is the first series from the 'Roma' filmmaker since he signed an overall deal with the streamer in 2019, and it is the first time Cuaron has written and directed all episodes of an original series.

Blanchett plays Catherine Ravenscroft, a successful and respected TV documentary journalist whose work has been built on revealing the concealed transgressions of long-respected institutions.

When an intriguing novel written by a widower, played by Kline, appears on her bedside table, she is horrified to realize she is a key character in a story that she had hoped was long buried in the past, one that reveals her darkest secret. As per Deadline, they have kept Baron Cohen's role under wraps. (ANI)
