For once, we are hearing about a television series in Texas not headed by Taylor Sheridan.

Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning have signed on to star in Discretion, a legal thriller, based on an unpublished short story from Dallas-born author Chandler Baker, that is set in Dallas.

According to Variety, the logline for the series reads:

“Lenny (Fanning), a summer associate at a prestigious Dallas law firm, uncovers a web of NDAs masking a dark truth.

“When she realizes she signed the same agreement, her discoveries put her in the crosshairs of the firm’s most powerful female partner Sharon (Kidman) — upending their mentor-protégé dynamic and raising the question: Who gets to keep secrets, and at what cost?”

According to the Dallas Morning News, production on Discretion, an A24-backed series, is expected to begin in 2026.
