“The strange thing about Lucille Ball is that everyone thinks we’re remaking the ‘I Love Lucy’ show, and it’s so not that,” Kidman said during Variety Actors on Actors. “It’s about Lucy and Desi and their relationship and their marriage. It’s very deep, actually.”
Other cast members include J. K. Simmons as Fred and Nina Arianda as Ethel.
