Susanne Bier to Direct THE UNDOING Starring Nicole Kidman

Susanne Bier will direct the upcoming HBO series, "The Undoing" starring Nicole Kidman, according to Variety.

The Emmy-winning director will direct all six episodes of the series, which is based on the book "You Should Have Known" by Jean Hanff Korelit, in addition to serving as an executive producer.

In "The Undoing," Grace Sachs (Kidman) is living the only life she ever wanted for herself. She's a successful therapist, has a devoted husband and young son who attends an elite private school in New York City. Overnight a chasm opens in her life: a violent death, a missing husband, and, in the place of a man Grace thought she knew, only a chain of terrible revelations. Left behind in the wake of a spreading and very public disaster, and horrified by the ways in which she has failed to heed her own advice, Grace must dismantle one life and create another for her child and herself.

Bier won the Emmy for best directing for a limited series for AMC's "The Night Manager." Bier has also directed films such as "A Second Chance," "Love Is All You Need," "In A Better World," "Things We Lost In The Fire," "After The Wedding," "Brothers," "Once in A Lifetime," and the upcoming "Bird Box."

In addition to starring, Kidman is executive producing under her Blossom Films banner along with Blossom Films' Per Saari. David E. Kelley will serve as showrunner, writer, and executive producer via David E. Kelley Productions. Bruna Papandrea will executive produce through Made Up Stories.
