## Summary

Josh Lucas has joined the cast of "Discretion," Paramount+'s legal drama series starring Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning, Variety has confirmed. The show, first ordered straight-to-series in October 2025, is based on a short story of the same name by Chandler Baker and explores power, secrecy and non-disclosure agreements inside a prestigious Dallas law firm, adding a further recognisable name to the streamer's scripted line-up.

The eight-episode series centres on Fanning's character Lenny, a summer associate who uncovers a web of NDAs that puts her at odds with Kidman's formidable senior partner, Sharon. Lucas will play Greg, husband to a powerful corporate law partner at the same firm. Production is due to begin later this year, with Baker writing and executive producing alongside Kidman, Fanning, Susannah Grant and others, and A24 producing the show for Paramount.
