Four years after its season 1 debut, Nine Perfect Strangers is finally back for another questionable outing. Unbelievably, Masha, played by Nicole Kidman, is still working as an experimental, retreat-running therapist and has persuaded nine more “perfect” guests to come to the Austrian Alps with her. As Hulu teases, “Over the course of a week, [Masha] takes them to the brink. Will they make it? Will she? Masha is willing to try anything in the interest of healing everyone involved, including herself.”

The first two episodes of the season premiered on Hulu on May 22, with new episodes airing weekly after that. Like the first season, the latest chapter has attracted a stellar A-list cast, from Henry Goulding to Christine Baranski to King Princess in her acting debut.

Nicole Kidman as Masha Dmitrichenko

Masha returns for a second season as “a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies”—but as viewers of series 1 already know, her methods can be somewhat questionable.

Kidman has appeared in iconic films like Moulin Rouge and Eyes Wide Shut, but has also been on a recent streak with projects including Babygirl, The Perfect Couple, Big Little Lies, and more.

Henry Golding as Peter

As in the previous series, some of the “strangers” know each other very well; Imogen's mother Victoria also appears in the show, but arrives with her much younger boyfriend.

Murphy is perhaps best known for her performance as Alexis Rose in Schitt’s Creek, but she's also appeared in an episode of Black Mirror too.

Christine Baranski as Victoria

Bartlett has described his character Brian as “a children’s TV show host who has had a bit of a fall from grace and he battles with anger management issues.” Sounds ideal for one of Masha’s special retreats.
