Is there such a thing as a perfect couple? Netflix’s trailer for the murder-mystery “The Perfect Couple” begs to differ, offering a tantalizing peek into the lives of Greer Garrison Winbury and Tag Winbury, played by the iconic Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber. This seemingly flawless couple has been happily married for 29 years and is gearing up to host a lavish wedding ceremony for their son’s marriage to the beautiful Amelia Sacks, portrayed by Eve Hewson. However, the celebrations take a dark turn when a body is discovered in Nantucket Harbor, turning every wedding guest into a suspect.
Adapted from Elin Hilderbrand’s bestselling mystery, “The Perfect Couple” is a limited series spanning six episodes and boasts an intriguing ensemble cast, including Dakota Fanning, Billy Howle, Meghann Fahy, Michael Beach, Ishaan Khattar, among others. Eve Hewson, last seen in the British musical-drama “Flora and Son,” plays Amelia Sacks, who appears to be the quintessential “outsider” marrying into a family that isn’t as picture-perfect as it seems. “They are rich, kill someone and get away with kinda rich,” a character says about the Winburys.
The trailer doesn’t reveal much but promises an amusing thriller filled with curious characters, each harboring their own secrets. While the beach setting feels reminiscent of Netflix thriller “A Deadly Invitation”, the whole rich family with buried skeletons in their closet gives off a strong “Knives Out” vibe. After her role in Netflix’s age-gap romance “A Family Affair” with Zac Efron, it will be interesting to see Nicole Kidman share the screen with Liev Schreiber in “The Perfect Couple.” Fun fact: Nicole’s character in both Netflix titles is an author.
