Paramount+ starts production on the legal thriller series “Discretion,” adding Stephan James and Colton Ryan to the cast. The show stars Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning, with Josh Lucas also joining as part of the main ensemble.
The series is developed by Chandler Baker and is produced by A24. Deadline and Variety report that James and Ryan are being added as series regulars, expanding the previously announced lineup around Kidman and Fanning. The outlets emphasize that production has begun, marking the move from development into active filming. Coverage focuses primarily on casting updates rather than plot specifics, while aligning on the same core details: the platform, title, lead actors, and the two new additions.
While all reports agree on the overall cast expansion and the production start, they vary mainly in how they list credits and contextualize the actors’ prior work. Across sources, the new casting is presented as an incremental step as the Paramount+ series prepares for release.
