Heck, Nine Perfect Strangers even overlaps with some good old-fashioned formulaic broadcast television: Kidman’s Eastern European wellness guru Masha isn’t too far removed from Elena Roarke, the mystical hostess played by Roselyn Sanchez on Fox’s new Fantasy Island revival. 'Silence of the Lambs': 'It Broke All the Rules' (Vacation shows may be a TV staple for as long as the pandemic rages, since it’s much easier to Covid-proof a production if everyone is quarantining at the hotel where a story takes place FX just announced it’s ordered a new mystery series set at “a secluded retreat.”)
And it is the second of this summer’s shows, after HBO’s recently-concluded The White Lotus, in which a star-studded cast - this one including Melissa McCarthy, Regina Hall, Michael Shannon, Samara Weaving, and Bobby Cannavale - play wealthy visitors to an exclusive resort. It is the second time Kelley (here with John-Henry Butterworth) has adapted a book by BLL author Liane Moriarty.
Kelley, after Big Little Lies and The Undoing (the pair have future projects in the works, too). The series represents the third collaboration between star Nicole Kidman and writer David E.
The new Hulu miniseries Nine Perfect Strangers falls into the latter category - though, actually, it’s an example of multiple recent prestige-TV trends. Sometimes, a show gets to lead the zeitgeist, and sometimes it’s just part of a trend.
