Straight from the mind of acclaimed Big Little Lies creator David E Kelley, The Undoing is a twisted and tension-filled take on Jean Hanff Korelitz’s 2014 novel You Should Have Known. Based in New York, the six-part series follows the story of Grace Fraser (Nicole Kidman), her husband Jonathan (Hugh Grant) and their young son, Henry. Grace’s life is one dominated by privilege: she’s a successful therapist, her son attends one of the best schools and her husband is an acclaimed paediatric oncologist. But when Jonathan goes missing and a violent death rocks the school community, Grace’s life begins to unravel.
Kidman and Grant’s gripping performances are just one of the many reasons to give this series a watch. “Although a little slow to start, The Undoing will keep you guessing,” says Stylist’s junior digital writer Lauren Geall. “It’s way more than just a courtroom drama – Kelley’s exploration of themes such as privilege, trust and success make this a compelling watch for fans of all genres.” Starts Monday 26 October, 9pm, on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV
