INYIM Media Preferred Film Trailer: Netflix’s ‘Perfect Couple’ Serves Up Wealth, Death & Nicole Kidman (Out Sept. 5.)

"An opulent coastal setting, a dead body, a bunch of quick shots of police interrogations, and Nicole Kidman. It’s not Big Little Lies season three — it’s The Perfect Couple, the star-studded Netflix limited series that has released a full trailer just a couple of days ahead of its Sept. 5 premiere date.

The trailer (watch it below) swirls around the wealthy Winbury family, headed by novelist Greer (Kidman) and her husband, Tag (Liev Schreiber), as they prepare for the wedding of their son Benji (Billy Howle) to Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson). Things go sideways when a dead body turns up on the beach, making everyone a suspect as no one, seemingly, is telling the local cops (played by Michael Beach and Donna Lynne Champlin) the whole truth.

The trailer features numerous shots talking to the investigators in an interrogation room, shades of the first season of Big Little Lies (which also starred Kidman). It also leans into a guilty-pleasure vibe with an ironic soundtrack of “Can’t Take My Eyes off You” and title cards inviting viewers to “devour the most delicious, indulgent, shocking show on TV.”

The show’s cast also features Dakota Fanning, Jack Reynor, Ishaan Khatter, Meghann Fahy, Sam Nivola, Mia Isaac and Isabelle Adjani.

The Perfect Couple is based on a best-selling novel by Elin Hilderbrand; Jenna Lamia (Good Girls, Awkward) adapted the novel and serves as showrunner. Lamia executive produces with director Susanne Bier (The Night Agent, The Undoing), Hilderbrand, Shawn Levy of 21 Laps Entertainment, Gail Berman and Hend Baghdady of The Jackal Group, Kidman and Per Saari of Blossom Films, and Josh Barry." - Hollywoodreporter.com
