Paramount+ is adding to the cast of its drama Discretion as the series begins production.
Stephan James (Selma, War Machine) and Colton Ryan (Chad Powers) have joined the legal thriller as series regulars alongside Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning and Josh Lucas. Filming on the A24-produced series began this week for a 2027 premiere date.
Based on a short story by author Chandler Baker — who is also writing the series adaptation — Discretion follows Lenny (Fanning), a summer associate at a prestigious Dallas law firm. She discovers a web of non-disclosure agreements (including one that she signed) that cover up a dark secret, putting her crosshairs of the firm’s most powerful female partner, Sharon (Kidman).
James will play Logan, an associate at the firm who becomes a mentor to Lenny. Ryan will play Lenny’s ex-boyfriend Boone, a recovering addict from a well-off Dallas family who’s living at a halfway house while trying to rebuild his life.
