Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber and Dakota Fanning to Join Murder Mystery Series THE PERFECT COUPLE at Netflix
Two-time Emmy winner Nicole Kidman (The Undoing), nine-time Emmy nominee Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan), The White Lotus standout Meghann Fahy, two-time Critics Choice Award winner Dakota Fanning (The Alienist), and the Flora and Son duo of Eve Hewson and Jack Reynor are in various stages of negotiations to star in Netflix’s The Perfect Couple, from Emmy winner Susanne Bier (The Undoing), who is set to direct and executive produce.
The six-episode Netflix series was originally set up at Fox, and it is based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name by Elin Hilderbrand. The murder mystery follows “Nantucket native Celeste Otis, who on the Fourth of July is about to marry the perfect man, who just so happens to be from the wealthiest family in the area. But when a body is discovered floating in the harbor on the morning of what was to be the #weddingoftheyear, everyone at the party is suddenly a suspect.”
Details as to the roles to be played by The Perfect Couple‘s first set of cast members haven’t been disclosed. But the show would reteam Kidman with Bier on the heels of their work together on the HBO crime drama The Undoing.
This sounds like a great series and a fantastic cast. We will keep you posted as the series develops.
