Susanne Bier to direct Nicole Kidman in HBO’s The Undoing

November 13, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Earlier this year it was announced that Nicole Kidman will be reuniting with HBO and Big Little Lies writer and executive producer David E. Kelley for The Undoing, and now the project has found a director.

Variety reports that Susanne Bier is set to direct all six episodes of the limited series, which is based upon Jean Hanff Korelitz’s book You Should Have Known. Bier previously directed the John le Carre adaptation The Night Manager, winning an Emmy Award for her work. She has also directed the Sandra Bullock-led post-apocalyptic sci-fi Bird Box, which arrives on netflix next month [watch the trailer here].

The Undoing will see Kidman playing Grace Sachs, “a successful therapist on the brink of publishing her first book, who has a devoted husband and young son who attends an elite private school in New York City. Weeks before her book is published, a chasm opens in her life: 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.”

Kidman can currently be seen in Joel Edgerton’s Boy Erased and has Warner Bros. and DC Film’s Aquaman and the crime drama Destroyer both incoming in December. Her upcoming slate includes The Goldfinch, the untitled Roger Ailes project, and the second season of Big Little Lies.
