When a record-breaking sale of a new penthouse hits her desk, Diane’s questions about the buyer’s identity lead to what could be the story of a lifetime. At its center is a mysterious oligarch, whose influence stretches across Manhattan and beyond – protected by a network of fixers, enablers and a brilliant young strategist. Out of her depth, Diane digs deeper into the investigation, her determination to uncover the truth revealing a web of corruption and danger at the highest levels, ensnaring Diane, her family, and all those around her,” according to Variety.
Along with directing Useful Idiots, Joseph Cedar co-wrote the screenplay with 60 Minutes producer Shachar Bar-On.
Sigourney will next be starring in Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, which hits theaters on May 22, 2026. Watch the trailer here!
