Dolly de Leon Joins Nicole Kidman in Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2
It's been a while since we've last heard of any real updates on the highly anticipated second season of the Hulu hit show Nine Perfect Strangers. The first season stood out of its amazing ensemble, with Kidman killing it as our favorite mysterious wellness guru.
The good news is that she'll be back again. Filipino fans should rejoice, too, now that BAFTA nominee Dolly de Leon is confirmed to be joining Kidman and the rest of the all-star cast.
In Season 1, we got to see the likes of Melissa McCarthy. Michael Shannon, Luke Evans, Bobby Cannavale, Regina Hall, Samara Weaving, Melvin Gregg, Asher Keddie, Grace Van Patten, Tiffany Boone, and Manny Jacinto. The new ensemble, which De Leon will be spearheading, hopes to replicate that same magic.
A report from Deadline says that De Leon will be part of the second season ensemble that will feature two-time Oscar nominee Liv Ullmann, Emmy winner Murray Bartlett, and Maisie Richardson-Sellers. Kidman is back as the series' star and executive producer. She'll definitely have her hands full with these new strangers with her.

Nine Perfect Strangers is based on Liane Moriarty's book of the same name. Moriarty is also the author who brought us Big Little Lies, which Kidman previously starred in. Since its debut in 2021, the show went on from being a limited series to becoming Hulu's most-watched original. Among those attached to produce the second season are David E. Kelley, Bruna Papandrea’s Made Up Stories, Kidman’s Blossom Films and Fifth Season.
So What Is Season 2 Going to Be About?
The details are still somewhat up in the air. Reports suggest that Season 2 will offer much of the same thriller blueprint as the last season. We do know that the new story is going to be set in the Swiss Alps. That's an interesting setting for a bunch of out-of-touch rich folk, right? Wellness resort director Masha (Kidman), of course, will have a lot of fun with this new batch of neurotic, stressed-out city people. And De Leon going ballistic in the Alps sounds like a pretty compelling pitch to us.
