Nicole Kidman's psychological thriller Nine Perfect Strangers will be available to stream for free on ITVX from Sunday, September 27. The eight-part series, based on Liane Moriarty's 2018 bestselling novel, originally aired on Hulu and Prime Video in 2021.
The show follows nine strangers from different backgrounds who attend a wellness centre named Tranquillum House. The stressed-out city dwellers plan to spend 10 days at the retreat seeking a better way of living, each carrying a unique, sometimes heartbreaking, background. As they spend more time at the remote resort, they begin to realise that nothing is as it seems.
Star-Studded Cast and Plot
The group is watched over by the mysterious host, Marsha Dmitrichenko, played by Kidman, who is on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies. The drama is full of suspense, punctuated by lighter comedic moments, and explores how far people will go to confront their personal demons on their journey of self-improvement.
Joining Kidman is a star-studded cast including Melissa McCarthy, Michael Shannon, Luke Evans, Bobby Cannavale, Regina Hall, Samara Weaving, Melvin Gregg, Asher Keddie, and Grace Van Patten, all playing the strangers on the retreat.
