With roles in Big Little Lies and The Undoing, Nicole Kidman has recently become a bit synonymous with homicidal television. With a knife to our throats, Kidman currently stars in the newest thriller on Netflix, The Perfect Couple. Check out the official trailer below.
Using aspects from previous films The Night Manager and Bird Box, Danish director Susanne Bier brings her unique skill set to The Perfect Couple, creating an immensely cynical experience.
Set in the posh neighbourhoods of Nantucket, Kidman plays renowned novelist Greer Garrison Winbury, who arranges her son’s glitzy nuptials to Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson). When an unexpected body washes up on the beach near their beach house as they are get ready for the party of a lifetime, the police question the family on suspicion of murder. Liev Schreiber, Meghann Fahy, and Dakota Fanning play other family members.
A story of love, wealth, and a murder most foul, The Perfect Couple is shaping up to be the summer’s best show.
The Perfect Couple will premiere on Netflix on 5 September 2024.
