In May, it was reported that Nicole Kidman, David E. Kelley and some more of the team that brought us Big Little Lies would be adapting Liane Moriarty’s 2018 book “Nine Perfect Strangers” into a limited series for Hulu. Today, Deadline announced that Melissa McCarthy would be joining the production as an actor and as an executive producer.
“Nine Perfect Strangers the series takes place at a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation as nine stressed city dwellers try to get on a path to a better way of living. Watching over them during this ten-day retreat is the resort’s director Masha (played by Kidman), a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies. McCarthy will play Francis, one of the nine ‘perfect’ strangers.”

While reading book, I Pictured Ann Down in role. But Melissa Mcarthy is good choice and basically Colead with Nicole Kidman role. Excited to see who else they cast. Since , the roles are pretty good, I wouldn’t be surprised if cast ends up great.January 7, 2020 at 6:51 pm #1203269647I was really hoping this was a mashup of “Nine” and “Perfect Strangers.” Sadly it’s based on a book so I won’t hear Larry say “Lie Balki. Lie for Italia!”

Hopefully this will be like Big Little Lies, where the miniseries completely elevates the material. Lets just hope that they can also build a good ensemble of actors and have some decent writers.
I’m also exciting to see what Nicole’s Russian accent sounds like and whether or not she will be able to pull it off.January 8, 2020 at 5:52 am #1203270268I’m also exciting to see what Nicole’s Russian accent sounds like and whether or not she will be able to pull it off.
She can’t even do stay in an American accent and she’s been living in America for many decades now. I wouldn’t get my hopes up about a completely different accent.
