Dallas<\/a> is coming soon to a television near you.<\/p>\n

Legal thriller Discretion<\/a>, which is set at a prestigious Dallas law firm, has begun production, Paramount+ announced Thursday. The eight-episode series will star\u00a0Nicole Kidman<\/a> as a partner and\u00a0Elle Fanning as a summer associate who clash over “a web of\u00a0NDAs masking a dark truth,” according to the news release. Josh Lucas<\/a> will co-star and Stephan James and Colton Ryan will play supporting roles.<\/p>\n

Paramount did not immediately answer a question on whether the series will shoot in Dallas. The series is expected to premiere on Paramount+ in 2027, per the release.<\/p>\n

Discretion is an adaptation of a short story from Dallas-born author Chandler Baker<\/a>, who is an executive producer and writer on the project. She grew up in Lake Highlands until she moved to Florida at the age of 10. Baker later went to law school at UT Austin and worked in Dallas for a major sports team, according to her\u00a0website<\/a>. Her\u00a02019 novel\u00a0Whisper Network\u00a0was a\u00a0New York Times\u00a0bestseller and a selection<\/a> for Reese Witherspoon’s book club.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Matt Shakman, who directed Marvel projects WandaVision and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, will direct the first four episodes of\u00a0Discretion and serve as an\u00a0executive producer. Susannah Grant, who received an Oscar nomination for her writing in Erin Brockovich, will also be an executive producer.<\/p>\n

Production company A24 will produce the show, which will follow recent TV successes in Season 2 of\u00a0Netflix’s\u00a0Beef, Season 3 of HBO’s Euphoria and Apple TV’s Margo’s Got Money Troubles, which also starred Fanning.\u00a0All of those projects received Emmy nominations in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas is coming soon to a television near you.
