Though a third season of the hit HBO series Big Little Lies is far from guaranteed, the next best thing has arrived. A limited series based on BLL author Liane Moriarty’s Nine Perfect Strangers is headed to Hulu. It reunites BLL star Nicole Kidman with the show’s creator, David E. Kelley, and Jonathan Levine (Long Shot, Warm Bodies) will direct all eight episodes.Below, everything to know about the new show, which also stars Melissa McCarthy, Luke Evans, Samara Weaving, and Manny Jacinto in his first series since The Good Place.

The show is based off a book by Liane Moriarty.

The source material for the series, which was confirmed by THR in May 2019, is the 2018 novel of the same name by Moriarty. Nine Perfect Strangers, the author’s eighth adult novel, is set at a wellness retreat. In an interview with The Guardian, Moriarty said she was inspired by “this desire we all have for transformation.” She continued, “I can never see an article that says, ‘Just change this one thing about your life and you’ll be transformed forever’—even though you know when you click on it, it won’t work, I find it irresistible.”

An official logline for the Hulu adaptation, via Variety, reads:

“It takes place at a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation as nine stressed city dwellers try to get on a path to a better way of living. Watching over them during this ten-day retreat is the resort’s director Masha (Kidman), a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies. However, these nine ‘perfect’ strangers have no idea what is about to hit them.”

There is an all-star cast and creative team involved.

Kidman was attached to the show from the start, having acquired rights to the book prior to its release in July 2018, per The Hollywood Reporter. The Oscar winner will star as Masha and produce the series alongside executive producer Bruna Papandrea (Big Little Lies, Gone Girl). Kelley will serve as showrunner with John Henry Butterworth (Ford v Ferrari).Kelley and Butterworth will write the series along with Samantha Strauss (The End).
