Kidman reunites with herBig Little LiescreatorDavid E. KelleyforThe Undoing, which looks to be an intriguing Hitchcockian thriller about a woman’s slow unraveling following a violent death. Kelley writes the series whileBird BoxdirectorSusanne Bierhelms the series. Grant stars as Kidman’s husband, who may or may not disappear, whileNoah Jupeplays her son and Sutherland plays her challenging father.
The elements are all there for Kidman Emmy buzz this year: the prestigious HBO label, Kidman’s reunion with Kelley, and Bier, whose Emmy-winning 2016 TV seriesThe Night Managershares narrative DNA withThe Undoing.The only noticeable difference betweenThe Undoingand Kidman’s other prestige projects, however, is her hair: here she seems to be eschewing her signature wigs and rocking a hairstyle most similar to her natural, reddish curly locks. Or maybe it’s just a very good wig.
Along with Kidman, theThe Undoing’sstar-studded cast includesEdgar Ramirez,Lily Rabe,Ismael Cruz Cordova,Matilda DeAngelis, andNoma Dumezweni.
