Netflix Releases Trailer For Adaptation Of Nantucket Author Elin Hilderbrand's "Perfect Couple"

Netflix on Thursday released a trailer for “The Perfect Couple” an adaptation of island author Elin Hilderbrand’s best-selling murder mystery novel. 

The adaptation of Hilderbrand's bestseller will feature some major Hollywood stars, including Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Dakota Fanning, and Omar Epps. The filming began in early 2023 in Chatham, Mass., where portions of the Cape Cod town were converted to appear as though they were Nantucket, including a faux Nantucket Police Department facade. Other scenes were filmed on Nantucket, although some were interrupted by the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike.

According to Netflix, the adaptation "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."

"The Perfect Couple" was published in 2018 and was Hilderbrand's first murder mystery novel.

The debut of the six-episode series on Netflix is set for Sept. 5.
