What else should we know about Disclaimer?
Disclaimer is based on the novel of the same name by Renée Knight. The story follows a famous documentary journalist who discovers that she is a prominent character in a new novel. This wouldn’t be so alarming if it weren’t for the fact that said novel reveals a secret she’s been trying to keep hidden…
Considering that Catherine Ravenscroft exposed difficult truths in her work, it is ironic that this novel is intended to her instead. This series follows Catherine as she fights to maintain her reputation while trying to balance her own professional and personal relationships. It’s hard not to compare Ravenscroft to Blanchett’s other role in Tara composer who also had her secrets, and who was one of our favorite female-led films on Prime Video.
Of course, the plot details are rather vague, because we don’t want to know exactly what she’s hiding, so we’ll have to see how the story unfolds over the course of the episodes.
