The Undoing marks a reunion between Kidman and screenwriter David E Kelley, who previously adapted Liane Moriarty’s novel Big Little Lies three years ago.
Based on Jean Hanff Korelitz’s best-selling novel You Should Have Known, The Undoing stars Nicole Kidman as Grace Fraser, a successful Manhattan therapist whose husband Jonathan (Hugh Grant) is implicated in a murder.
A second season is unlikely, particularly with Grant revealing that he was initially worried that the show was laying the groundwork for a follow-up.
Like Big Little Lies, which also starred Kidman, The Undoing uses a brutal murder as the backdrop to an exploration into class, wealth and marriage. The show’s six episodes are directed by Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier, who directed the BBC limited series The Night Manager in 2016.
