The two actresses will headline Discretion, a new legal thriller that just earned a straight-to-series order at Paramount+, the streamer

announced on Monday. Fanning stars as a summer associate at a prestigious Dallas law firm who “uncovers a web of NDAs masking a dark

truth,” per the official description — and clashes with “the firm’s most powerful female partner,” played by Kidman.

 

 

Based on a short story by bestselling novelist Chandler Baker, Discretion will feature Susannah Grant (Unbelievable) as an executive producer. Baker will write the series and also serve as an EP.

At work, the cast members of The Diplomat are busy taking on global political issues, but at home, they’re rising to the occasion as parents.

The Debora Cahn-created Netflix drama stars Keri Russell as U.S. diplomat Kate Wyler, who navigates her new role as ambassador to the United Kingdom amid an increasingly hostile international crisis and her own personal problems. The series, which premiered in 2023, has gone on to receive numerous accolades, including an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series and several acting nods for Russell.

Ahead of the third season — which premiered in October 2025 — The Diplomat has already been renewed for a fourth season, promising a whole new advent of drama across both sides of the pond.

In the series, Kate and Hal (Rufus Sewell) do not have children, instead choosing to focus on their careers. But off-screen, Russell is a mom to three kids — River, Willa and Sam — balancing work and parenting duties with her partner, Matthew Rhys, and ex-husband, Shane Deary.

“I get to work really hard for three months, but then I get to be home for four months where I get to put [River] to bed every night,” she told PEOPLE in 2012. “I like getting to be in the adult world a little bit and then getting to be in the mom world and cook dinners. And, for me, that balance is what makes it nice.”

Here’s everything to know about the kids of The Diplomat cast.
