Set to make its debut on Netflix, the gripping drama series The Perfect Couple is coming soon and will feature a star-studded cast bringing together fan favourites Nicole Kidman, Dakota Fanning, Liev Schreiber, and Eve Hewson.
The highly anticipated six-part limited series sets a stage ripe with suspense and mystery, following a bride as she marries into one of Nantucket’s wealthiest families.
However, when a dead body washes up on the beach, secrets and suspicion arise as an investigation takes place. It’s safe to say a wedding to remember is an understatement…
Who is the cast of The Perfect Couple?
The Perfect Couple will star Nicole Kidman as Greer Garrison Winbury, the groom’s glamourous mother, Liev Schreiber as Tag Winbury, the groom’s dashing father, and Dakota Fanning as Abby Winbury, the groom’s sister-in-law.
The series will also show Eve Hewson as Amelia Sacks, the bride, Billy Howle as Benji Winbury, the groom, and Meghann Fahy as Merritt Monaco, the bride’s best friend.
Jack Reynor, Mia Isaac, Sam Nivola, Michael Beach, Donna Lynne Champlin, and Isabelle Adjani will also appear.
Is The Perfect Couple based on a book?
The Perfect Couple is based on a New York Times best-selling novel of the same name. Written by Elin Hilderbrand, the 2018 novel is described as follows:
“It’s Nantucket wedding season, also known as summer- the sight of a bride racing down Main Street is as common as the sun setting at Madaket Beach. The Otis-Winbury wedding promises to be an event to remember: the groom’s wealthy parents have spared no expense to host a lavish ceremony at their oceanfront estate. But it’s going to be memorable for all the wrong reasons after tragedy strikes: a body is discovered in Nantucket Harbor just hours before the ceremony, and everyone in the wedding party is suddenly a suspect. As Chief of Police Ed Kapenash interviews the bride, the groom, the groom’s famous mystery-novelist mother, and even a member of his own family, he discovers that every wedding is a minefield and no couple is perfect.”
Though Netflix has confirmed the series is based on the book, it is not clear how far the series plot will stray from the original novel. While you wait for the series to premiere, why not start to get in the murder-mystery mood and purchase the original novel? The book is available on Amazon.
What is the plot of The Perfect Couple?
The synopsis for the limited series reads:
“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.”
Where is The Perfect Couple being filmed?
According to the Cape Cod Times, The Perfect Couple was filmed in Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 2023. While the story is based in Nantucket, only some scenes were filmed there.
The Winbury family’s beachfront residence, Summerland, was filmed in the private neighbourhood of Eastward Point in Chatham, a mainland peninsula.
