Nine Perfect Strangers will bring back Nicole Kidman alongside three new cast members. The show, which is based on the Liane Moriarty novel of the same name, premiered in 2021 and followed an ensemble of characters staying at the resort Tranquillum House, run by the mysterious Masha Dmitrichenko (Kidman). During their 10-day stay, they unravel a sinister web of secrets and lies. It has already been confirmed that the fresh ensemble cast for the upcoming season 2 will feature Annie Murphy, Christine Baranski, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, King Princess, Aras Aydin, Dolly De Leon, Lucas Englander, and Murray Bartlett.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, four more stars have signed on for Nine Perfect Strangers season 2. This includes Kidman, who will be officially returning as Masha. She will be joined by newcomers Henry Golding as Peter, Mark Strong as David, and Lena Olin as Helena. So far, no details about these new characters have been revealed beyond their first names.
Everywhere You’ve Seen the New Nine Perfect Strangers Cast
It takes a great deal of experience for any incoming star to measure up against the star-studded Nine Perfect Strangers season 1 cast. However, the three new cast members that are joining season 2 have extensive experience that showcases their ability to step into these roles. Between them, they have over 200 credits, two BAFTA nominations (for Olin in 2000’s Chocolat and Strong in 2004’s The Long Firm) and one Oscar nomination (for Olin in 1989’s Enemies, A Love Story).
Although Golding is the freshest face among them, he has starred in a variety of major projects since his breakout role as the romantic lead in the 2018 romance hit Crazy Rich Asians, including A Simple Favor, Last Christmas, The Gentlemen, and Snake Eyes. Olin’s career began the earliest, stretching from classics such as 1982’s Fanny and Alexander and 1988’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being to modern titles including the 2024 releases Spaceman and Upgraded. Strong has showed off a similar range, playing heroic roles in projects like Kingsman: The Secret Service and pure villains in movies including Shazam!.
All three of these stars are perfectly calibrated to help season 2 follow up on the explosive Nine Perfect Strangers season 1 ending in a satisfying way. While their roles are still unknown, they have all shown the ability to excel in different genres and character archetypes. Pitting them against the force of nature that is Kidman’s Masha promises to provide some immediately compelling drama.
