If you’ve ever wanted The White Lotus to do a season set at a ski resort, Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 is here to grant your wish.
The next instalment of Nine Perfect Strangers comes four years after the release of Season 1, with Nicole Kidman’s bizarre wellness guru Masha Dmitrichenko returning to wreak more psychedelic havoc on her clients. This time around, Masha has chopped her hair into a long bob and ventured to the Austrian Alps, where she’s invited nine new strangers to partake in her wellness retreat.
Like in Season 1 (which was based on author Liane Moriarty’s book), Nine Perfect Strangers features a stacked ensemble cast, with this season bringing on Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), Christine Baranski (The Gilded Age), Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek), Dolly De Leon (Triangle of Sadness), Maisie Richardson-Sellers, singer King Princess, Aras Aydin, Lucas Englander, Mark Strong (Dune: Prophecy), and Lena Olin.
The trailer for Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 teases the interplay between these new cast members and Masha, who’s ready to push their limits — and her own.
“It is a cleansing of the mind,” she says of her retreat in the trailer. Cue the mushroom teas and the trippy sequences!
But something larger is afoot in the Alps. The trailer hints that these so-called strangers may actually have a lot more in common than they originally think. What web links all these characters, and what is Masha’s true game here?
Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 premieres May 21 on Hulu.
