The official synopsis for the upcoming series reveals that the story revolves around Amelia Sacks, who is about to wed into the wealthy Winbury family. However, the discovery of a body on the beach disrupts their extravagant wedding plans. As secrets are unveiled, everyone becomes a suspect in what feels like a real-life version of a novel by Amelia's future mother-in-law, Greer Garrison Winbury.
Meet the character played by Kidman
Kidman plays the ever-poised mystery novelist Greer, who juggles funding her family's lavish lifestyle with protecting their reputation. She is decidedly not a fan of Amelia. To note, The Perfect Couple is helmed by Susanne Bier, who has previously directed critically acclaimed projects such as Bird Box, The Night Manager, and The Undoing. The series is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Elin Hilderbrand. It will comprise six episodes.
