The Undoing will star Kidman as a successful therapist whose perfect life is plunged into disarray after a violent death and her husband’s disappearance.

The series, an adaptation of Jean Hanff Korelitz’s novel You Should Have Known, is written by Big Little Lies creator and scribe David E Kelley, who serves as showrunner and exec producer alongside Kidman, through her Blossom Films shingle.

The third Big Little Lies alumna involved in the new drama is exec produces Bruna Papandrea, through her label Made Up Stories. Kidman’s Blossom Films partner Per Saari will also exec produce.

Casey Bloys, HBO’s programming president, said he couldn’t wait to “bring this show to life.”

The announcement comes a few months after HBO confirmed it was ordering a second season of Lies. The show was a break-out hit for HBO last year and won four awards at the 2018 Golden Globes.
