Hugh Grant is joining fellow powerhouse thesp Nicole Kidman in HBO limited series “The Undoing”.
The six-episode limited series will be written by “Chicago Hope” and “Ally McBeal” creator David E. Kelley and directed by Susanne Bier.
An adaptation of Jean Hanff Korelitz’s book ”You Should Have Known’, ”The Undoing” centers on Grace Sachs (Kidman), who is living the only life she ever wanted for herself. She’s a successful therapist, has a devoted husband (Grant) and young son who attends an elite private school in New York City. Overnight a chasm opens in her life: a violent death, a missing husband, and, in the place of a man Grace thought she knew, only a chain of terrible revelations. Left behind in the wake of a spreading and very public disaster, and horrified by the ways in which she has failed to heed her own advice, Grace must dismantle one life and create another for her child and herself.
The “Paddington 2” star plays Jonathan Sachs, an acclaimed pediatric oncologist, devoted husband to Grace Sachs (Kidman) and doting father, whose past undergoes scrutiny when he suddenly disappears, leading to a chain of terrible revelations. This marks the British actor’s first major role in a U.S. television production.
