Overview

• Season 2 of 'Nine Perfect Strangers' premiered on Hulu on May 21, 2025, featuring eight episodes and an all-new storyline unrelated to Liane Moriarty's original novel.
• Nicole Kidman reprises her role as Masha, now running a wellness retreat in the Austrian Alps that employs psychedelic therapy to address trauma.
• Critics have largely panned the season, citing predictable twists, underdeveloped characters, and an inability to deliver impactful satire or emotional depth.
• The show introduces a new ensemble cast portraying interconnected strangers but fails to fully explore their backstories due to time constraints and a crowded narrative.
• While the Alpine setting and performances by Christine Baranski and Murray Bartlett received some praise, the season struggled to balance its ambitious themes and tonal inconsistencies.
