Recent SAG Award-winner Hoyeon (Squid Game) has joined the cast of Apple TV+’s upcoming thriller series Disclaimer, and will appear opposite stars Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline. The series, based on the novel by Renee Knight, hails from Roma helmer Alfonso Cuarón, who writes and directs the series.
Disclaimer stars Blanchett as Catherine Ravenscroft, a successful and respected television documentary journalist whose work has been built on revealing the concealed transgressions of long-respected institutions. When an intriguing novel written by a widower (Kline) appears on her bedside table, she is horrified to realize she is a key character in a story that she had hoped was long buried in the past. A story that reveals her darkest secret. A secret she thought was hers alone.
