Josh Lucas is set to star opposite Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning in the legal drama series “Discretion,” Variety has confirmed.

The show was originally announced with a straight-to-series order at Paramount+ in October 2025. It is based on the short story of the same name by Chandler Baker. It has received an eight-episode order with production slated to begin later this year.

The logline for the series states, “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?”
