Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber are set to star in Netflix’s new limited series, The Perfect Couple.
The Eyes Wide Shut actress, 55, and the Ray Donovan star, 55, will lead the star-studded adaptation of the thriller novel of the same name by Elin Hilderbrand.
Kidman will play murder-mystery novelist Greer Garrison Winbury as she plans a wedding for her son and future daughter-in-law, played by Eve Hewson.
The plot follows Hewson’s character, Amelia Sacks, as she is about to marry into one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket when a dead body turns up on the beach.
As the plot unfolds, everyone is a suspect in an investigation that plays out like one of the mystery novels Kidman’s character would write.
