'The Perfect Couple': EYNTKNetflix

As Summer draws to a close, there's no better time than to get completely invested in a gritty mystery drama. So, right on time is Netflix's The Perfect Couple.

The limited series can be best described as Glass Onion meets Big Little Lies meets The White Lotus, given it's a juicy drama surrounding a mysterious dead body found on the property of an uber wealthy family. Soon after everyone becomes a suspect, and of course, you'll end up thinking that everyone is capable of being the killer at some point.

With a cast just as enticing as the show premise itself, expect to see screen star favourites Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber and Dakota Fanning feature in this predicted hit.

What is the plot of The Perfect Couple?

As reported by Netflix, The Perfect Couple synopsis is as follows:

'Amelia Sacks is about to marry into one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket. Her disapproving future mother-in-law, famous novelist Greer Garrison Winbury, has spared no expense in planning what promises to be the premiere wedding of the season - Until a body turns up on the beach.'

'As secrets come to light, the stage is set for a real-life investigation that feels plucked from the pages of one of Greer’s novels. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect.'

Who has been cast in The Perfect Couple?

The Perfect Couple is the latest series to have an all-star cast. Nicole Kidman stars as Greer Garrison Winbury, a famous novelist and Tag's wife (played by Liev Schreiber). Billy Howle stars as Benji, their son and groom, while Eve Hewson plays Amelia, who is about to marry into the Winbury family.

When Kidman joined the cast, she told the show's director Susanne Bier, 'Whatever you want me to do, I’ll be there,' and couldn't help but be drawn to Greer's mysterious and formidable nature, 'She’s a mother bear,' Kidman commented.
