The Perfect Couple follows Kidman and Liev Schreiber’s characters as their lives turn upside-down after a body washes up on a beach – a show early reviewers are calling ‘ludicrously good’.
‘I grew up on [murder mysteries] and I haven’t seen one like this for a while, so it was really exciting to be a part of it and to be able to produce it as well,’ Kidman told Reuters on Monday.
‘[Greer is] strong and and powerful and that was exciting to play. I’m always on this quest to find things that I haven’t done or have different experiences.’
Susanne Bier directed the small-screen adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s 2018 novel of the same name.

Hilderbrand will next be focusing her energy on a two-book deal with her daughter, where the pair will set the story at a boarding school.
The first book, titled The Academy, is set to be published in September 2025 with the follow-up in September 2026.
It will loosely be based off her experience at the St. George’s School in Newport, Rhode Island, she told Boston.com.
