Netflix's new drama The Perfect Couple has finally landed

With shows such as Fool Me Once, The Night Agent and The Watcher, it's no shock that streaming platform Netflix is filled with some of the most popular dramas around, and now there's a brand new one to add to your binge list.

With a stellar cast including Nicole Kidman, Eve Hewson and Dakota Fanning, The Perfect Couple has landed on Netflix, so here's everything you need to know about the adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s bestseller.

What is The Perfect Couple about?

The Perfect Couple is a brand new six-part murder mystery series based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Elin Hilderbrand.

Netflix say of the series: 'The Perfect Couple follows Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson), a bride marrying into one of Nantucket’s wealthiest families. The groom’s mother, Greer Garrison Winbury (Nicole Kidman), a famous novelist, spares no expense on the high-society wedding.

'But, when a dead body appears on the beach, everyone’s Champagne dreams quickly vanish and are replaced by suspicion. As secrets bubble up to the surface, an investigation takes hold that feels plucked from one of Greer’s books.'

Showrunner Jenna Lamia says of the series: “The Perfect Couple is a murder mystery set over the Fourth of July weekend on the island of Nantucket. It is juicy, elegant, tense, and a little bit sensual. It is my favourite kind of show to watch; a thriller with multiple love stories embedded in the narrative.”
