Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning’s upcoming legal thriller series “Discretion” at Paramount+ is officially in production, with the series adding two new cast members.
Both Stephan James (“I Play Rocky,” “If Beale Street Could Talk”) and Colton Ryan (“The Girl From Plainville,” Broadway’s “New York, New York”) are joining Kidman and Fanning in the show, alongside fellow cast member Josh Lucas.
The role marks a reunion for Fanning and Ryan, who previously starred together in the Hulu limited series “The Girl From Plainville.”
The logline for the show states that is “about summer associate Lenny (Fanning) at a prestigious Dallas law firm who uncovers a web of NDAs masking a dark truth. When she realizes she signed the same agreement, her discoveries put her in the crosshairs of the firm’s most powerful female partner Sharon (Kidman)—upending their mentor-protégé dynamic and raising the question: who gets to keep secrets, and at what cost.”
Both James and Ryan will appear in series regular roles. James will play Logan, described as “a sharp corporate associate who becomes a mentor to Lenny.” Ryan will play Boone, said to be “Lenny’s ex-boyfriend, a recovering addict from an affluent Dallas family, now nine months sober living at a halfway house while quietly trying to rebuild his life.”
