Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 Sets Spring Premiere — Get Details On Cast, New Setting
Get ready to meet another Nine Perfect Strangers.
Hulu announced on Tuesday that Season 2 of the Nicole Kidman-led drama will premiere this spring; a release pattern for the eight episodes was not immediately avalable.
This premiere timetable arrives some 21 months after Nine Perfect Strangers got a Season 2 order. (In her defense, Kidman is busy starring on about 71 streaming series.)
Nine Perfect Strangers was renewed after Hulu opted to submit it in the drama series, and not limited series, categories for the 2022 Emmys, indicating that a potential Season 2 could be on the horizon.
Kidman will reprise her role as Masha Dmitrichenko, while the new additions include Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), Lena Olin (we'll go with Alias...?), Annie Murphy (Schitt's Creek), Christine Baranski (The Gilded Age), Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus Season 1), Maisie Richardson-Sellers (DC's Legends of Tomorrow), Dolly De Leon (Triangle of Sadness), Lucas Englander (France's Parlement), singer/songwriter King Princess, Mark Strong (Low Winter Sun) and Turkish actor Aras Aydin (Cherry Season).
Adapted from Liane Moriarty's novel of the same name, Nine Perfect Strangers' first season took place at Tranquillum House, a mysterious wellness resort run by Kidman's enigmatic Masha. There, nine people arrived for a relaxing stay, but ultimately unearthed big secrets about themselves and the Tranquillum staff.
Season 2 relocates the action from fictional Cabrillo, Calif. to a transformational wellness retreat in the Austrian Alps. Over the course of a week, Masha takes nine strangers "to the brink," the synopsis tells us. "Will they make it? Will she? Masha is willing to try anything in the interest of healing everyone involved, including herself."
This is the second time a series adaptation of a Moriarty novel has extended beyond its original plan. HBO's Big Little Lies — also starring Kidman, and also created by David E. Kelley — was initially intended as a miniseries, but later came back for Season 2 after a critically acclaimed, Emmy-sweeping freshman run.
