Hugh Grant to star alongside Nicole Kidman in HBO’s The Undoing series

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

There are already quite a number of excellent limited-series' out there, and the pile just keeps on growing. One of the most high-profile projects on the slate is The Undoing, HBO's upcoming adaptation of Jean Hanff Korelitz's "You Should Have Known" which is set to star Nicole Kidman. It was announced today that Hugh Grant will be joining Kidman in the limited-series, playing the devoted husband to Kidman's character.

The Undoing will find Nicole Kidman starring as Grace Sachs, a successful therapist who is on the brink of publishing her first book when disaster strikes and her perfect life is turned upside down. As for those disasters which will befall Grace Sachs, well, they involve "a violent death, a missing husband, and, in the place of a man Grace thought she knew, only a chain of terrible revelations. Left behind in the wake of a spreading and very public disaster, and horrified by the ways in which she has failed to heed her own advice, Grace must dismantle one life and create another for her child and herself." Grant will be playing Jonathan Sachs, an acclaimed pediatric oncologist, devoted husband to Grace, and doting father, whose past undergoes scrutiny when he suddenly disappears, leading to a chain of terrible revelations. Although this will be Hugh Grant's first major role in an American TV series, he's no stranger to the small-screen, having recently starred as British politician Jeremy Thorpe in the BBC/Amazon mini-series, A Very English Scandal. All six episodes of The Undoing will be written by David E. Kelly (Big Little Lies) and directed by Susanne Bier (The Night Manager), who will both serve as executive producers alongside Nicole Kidman.

"David has created another propulsive series with a fascinating, complicated female role at its center," said Nicole Kidman. "I’m excited and honored to continue collaborating with HBO and David E Kelley." To which Kelley added, "I loved this book. A character driven psychological thriller, I’m excited about the adaptation and thrilled to be able to do it with Nicole and HBO."
