In August 2021, Nine Perfect Strangers premiered in the United States via Hulu and in markets such as Spain it came from Amazon Prime Video. It focused on the luxurious and exclusive spa of Masha, the director of unconventional methods played by Nicole Kidman, who asked clients for blind faith to redirect both her physical and psychological health. At the time of her, it was not ruled out that she could return, but when she had already disappeared from the radar without renewal or cancellation, it has been reported that she will return.
The series wants to become something like The White Lotus, which changes locations and casts each season. The second season of Nine Perfect Strangers, as reported by Deadline, will change locations: he will leave Australia to move to the Swiss Alps where Masha, after the disaster of the previous season, will try to rebuild his life as a wellness guru. A 10-day stay that should be restorative and that, if the tone of the previous season is repeated, will bring both comedy and drama and unexpected twists.
The cast, therefore, will be renewed. The clients of the new spa will be Liv Ullmann (Persona), Dolly de Leon (The triangle of sadness), Maisie Richardson-Sellers (Legends of tomorrow), the Turkish actor Aras Aydin (Love is spring) and Murray Bartlett, who precisely won the Emmy for his work on The White Lotus. They replace, therefore, Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire), Luke Evans (The Hobbit) or Melissa McCarthy (My Best Friend’s Wedding), who also served as executive producer of the work after developing the project with Kidman.
With this maneuver, the Oscar-winning actress for The Hours repeats the play she already did with Big Little Lies on HBO. Nine Perfect Strangers, like Big Little Lies, was based on a novel by Liane Moriarty. And, after adapting the book, he has looked for a way to revive this fictional universe with David E. Kelley as a screenwriter, who has become his trusted man: he has written Big little lies, this acid comedy and also the psychological thriller The undoing.
It is not the only series of Nicole Kidman in the bedroom. Lioness by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone) with Zoe Saldaña and Morgan Freeman in the cast for Paramount has yet to be released, as well as the miniseries Expats by Alice Bell and Melanie Marnich for Amazon Prime Video and The perfect couple where she repeats with Suzanne Bier (The undoing ) for Netflix.
