In Discretion, which has an eight-episode order, Lenny (Fanning), a summer associate at a prestigious Dallas law firm, uncovers a web of NDAs masking a dark truth. When she realizes she signed the same agreement, her discoveries put her in the crosshairs of the firm’s most powerful female partner Sharon (Kidman)—upending their mentor-protégé dynamic

executive producing the series alongside Kidman and Per Saari under their Blossom Films banner, Elle Fanning, her sister Dakota Fanning and Brittany Kahan Ward for Lewellen Pictures as well as Linden Entertainment’s Jordan Cerf and Joe Hipps via his A24-based banner Cut To. Filming is slated to begin in 2026.
Hipps’ close relationship with Holland and Wiseman reportedly helped steer Discretion to Paramount+ where the project is expected to get a lot of internal support as one of the first new original series for Paramount+ 2.0.
Hipps and Holland were in a similar situation a decade and a half ago when, in his role as top TV executive at MRC, Hipps played a key role in the sale of House Of Cards to Netflix over a rival offer from HBO. It was Holland’s team’s first original scripted series that put the then-fledgling streamer on the original programming map. Hipps also worked with Holland and Wiseman on the hit Netflix series Ozark, which he developed and produced through MRC. Grant too has an existing relationship with Holland; she created and executive produced the Netflix limited series Unbelievable during Holland’s tenure there.
