Nicole Kidman made a huge splash on TV last year with mini-series Big Little Lies, for which she won an Emmy and will be back for Season 2, and she's teaming up with series creator David E. Kelley for another show that should receive similar praise.

An adaptation of Jean Hanff Korelitz's novel You Should Have Known, The Undoing will follow Grace Sachs (Kidman), a successful therapist who seems to have everything she ever wanted in life, before befalling a terrible tragedy, involving a violent death and a missing husband.

With Kidman, Kelley, and a heavy dose of melodrama and mystery, it has a lot of ingredients there to be as compelling and addictive as Big Little Lies. Now if they can just convince Jean-Marc Vallée to direct, this one will be really great.
