Netflix Just Dropped Season 2 of Its $100 Million Whodunit — Starring Nicole Kidman & Meghann Fahy
1 missing guest. 3 explosive secrets. And a $22 million Nantucket wedding weekend that ends in chaos.
Kidman returns in a darker, sharper chapter where no alibi is airtight — and every perfect smile hides a motive.

The second installment will be based on author Elin Hilderbrant’s novel, ‘Swan Song’
Another iteration of The Perfect Couple is coming your way!
Though it has yet to be greenlit, Variety reports that Netflix is working on developing a second season of the hit mystery thriller. The next installment will be based on Elin Hilderbrand’s novel, Swan Song, with the streamer planning to turn the series into an anthology.
PEOPLE has reached out to Netflix for comment.
The Perfect Couple and Swan Song both take place in Nantucket, but the latter follows the mysterious Richardson family.
An official description of the novel reads, “Chief of Police Ed Kapenash is about to retire. Blond Sharon is going through a divorce. But when a 22-million-dollar summer home is purchased by the mysterious Richardsons—how did they make their money, exactly?—Ed, Sharon, and everyone in the community are swept up in high drama.”
“The Richardsons throw lavish parties, flirt with multiple locals, flaunt their wealth with not one but two yachts, and raise impossible hopes of everyone they meet,” the synopsis continues. “When their house burns to the ground and their most essential employee goes missing, the entire island is up in arms.”
The first season of The Perfect Couple starred Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Meghann Fahy, Eve Hewson, Dakota Fanning, Ishaan Khatter, Billy Howle and Jack Reynor.

Per Variety, Kidman will return as an executive producer alongside Per Saari, Gail Berman, Shawn Levy, Susanne Bier and Hend Baghdady. Joanna Calo will also executive produce in addition to writing and show running the new season.
During an appearance on Hilderbrand and Tim Ehrenberg’s podcast, Books, Beach, and Beyond, in September 2024, Kidman opened up about how much she enjoyed working with the star-studded cast.
“I love working in an ensemble because you have so many different characters on set and watching everybody and getting to know everyone,” she gushed. “I just spoke to Dakota the other day going, ‘You’re so good at this.’ And Liev, but also Eve is just such a delight … I think she’s just so intoxicating.”
“You’re all working together as an acting troupe,” she added. “And that’s the thing I love most.”
Season 1 of The Perfect Couple is available to stream on Netflix.
