Paramount+, the popular streaming service, has announced an exciting new addition to its upcoming slate of original content. The platform has secured the talents of Josh Lucas, a talented actor known for his roles in ‘Yellowstone’ and ‘Ford v Ferrari’, to star in the highly anticipated legal drama series ‘Discretion’. This thrilling new series will feature an all-star cast, including Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning, and is set to premiere on Paramount+ in the near future.

According to reports, Lucas will be playing the role of Greg, a lawyer and the husband of Kidman’s character, a powerful and formidable corporate law partner at a prestigious law firm. The series will explore the complex and often dark world of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and the secrets that they can hide. Fanning will be playing the role of Lenny, a summer associate at the law firm who becomes entangled in a web of intrigue and deception.

The series, titled ‘Discretion’, has been a highly anticipated project since its announcement. Written and executive produced by Chandler Baker, the series will explore the cutthroat world of corporate law and the secrets that lie within. Susannah Grant will also be executive producing the series, bringing her expertise and experience to the project.

The series has been a long time in the making, with Paramount+ securing the rights to the project in October of last year. The platform engaged in a bidding war with other networks and studios to secure the rights to the series, ultimately emerging victorious. The series will be a straight-to-series order, with eight episodes planned for the first season.

Production on the series is set to begin in 2026, with a launch date on Paramount+ expected in the following year. The series will be a major production, with a large cast and crew working on the project. Lucas, Kidman, and Fanning will be joined by a number of other talented actors and actresses in the series, including Dakota Fanning and Brittany Kahan Ward.

Lucas is no stranger to the world of television, having recently starred in the Apple TV comedy series ‘Palm Royale’. He will next be seen in the Paramount Pictures Western action thriller ‘The Rescue’. Lucas is repped by WME and Liebman Entertainment.

The series promises to be a gripping and intense drama, exploring the complex world of corporate law and the secrets that lie within. With a talented cast and crew working on the project, ‘Discretion’ is sure to be a major hit for Paramount+.
