Nicole Kidman has seen her collaboration with David E. Kelley and novelist Liane Moriarty on Big Little Lies prove to be a big success, spurring a series beyond the book's story. And she's looking to keep the success train chugging, setting up a deal with Lies producer Bruna Papandrea and Kelley to work on Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers.
The only element changing this time is the channel, as the team is swapping HBO for US streaming service Hulu. Kelley and John Henry Butterworth are adapting and looking to run the show, which adapts the Moriarty book that hit shelves in September. Set at a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation to nine stressed city dwellers, the series will star Kidman as the resort’s director Masha, a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies.
And HBO need not feel all that left out; the cable channel, after all, has Kidman and Kelley sticking around not just for the second series of Lies but also making fellow miniseries The Undoing.
