Paramount+ is bringing in director Matt Shakman to helm key portions of the upcoming legal thriller series “Discretion.” According to reports, Shakman will direct the pilot and additional episodes—specifically three more—while also serving as an executive producer on the project. “Discretion” stars Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning, who are also described as executive producers.
The series is produced by A24 and is set to run on Paramount+. One outlet notes that “Discretion” arrived at Paramount+ last October as the project moved through a competitive development and placement process. Beyond Shakman’s role, the available information across the sources focuses on the series’ core creative setup: a legal-thriller format, the involvement of Kidman and Fanning in starring and producing capacities, and A24’s production of the drama.
No additional plot details or episode-by-episode plans are provided in the excerpts reviewed.
