The Perfect Couple on Netflix: What to expect
The Perfect Couple, based on the book of the same name by author Elin Hilderbrand, is centered around the duo who's about to get married - Amelia Sacks and Benji Winbury. The Winbury family is "one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket," per the synopsis.
Though Amelia's future mother-in-law is not happy about the pairing, the "famous novelist" preps the most lavish wedding for her son and his bride. All is going well until "a body turns up on the beach" though! All of a sudden, everyone is a suspect. We shared the trailer below:
I mean literally everything about the description and genre of the series has me hooked, and with this star-studded cast? Definitely count me in! Leading the show are Nicole Kidman as Greer Garrison Winbury, Benji's mother and the famous novelist. The supposedly happy couple are Eve Hewson as Amelia and Billy Howle as Benji.
The cast also includes Liev Schreiber as Benji's father Tag Winbury; Dakota Fanning as Benji's sister Abby Winbury; Jack Reynor as Benji's brother Thomas Winbury; Sam Nivola as Benji's brother Will Winbury; Meghann Fahy as Amelia's best friend Merritt Monaco; Ishaan Khattar as Benji's best friend Shooter Dival; Mia Isaac as Chloe Carter, Donna Lynne Champlin as Nikki Henry; and Isabelle Adjani as Isabel Nallet.
It's great to see Kidman doing more television roles lately, as well as Fanning. I love the versatility the two actresses bring and I'm really looking forward to seeing them in this new show. I also love Hewson from Bad Sisters on Apple TV+, so I know she's going to absolutely nail this role!
Will you be watching? I definitely will! The Perfect Couple drops Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024 on Netflix.
