When Netflix dropped The Perfect Couple last September, no one expected it to explode the way it did. A high-society wedding. A dead body on the beach. Nicole Kidman. It had all the makings of prestige TV, and it delivered — in spades.

But now, almost a year later, whispers have begun circulating again. Not about the Winburys or Amelia Sacks, but about something new. Something even more twisted.

Season 2 is coming. And everything’s about to change.

A New Family. A New Island. A New Scandal.

In a bold creative move, Netflix has chosen to turn The Perfect Couple into an anthology series. Each season, a brand-new story. A new cast. A new mystery. But the setting? That remains the same: Nantucket. Quiet. Beautiful. Deceptive.

This time, the focus shifts to the Richardsons — a mysterious and ultra-wealthy family who seemingly appear out of nowhere. They buy the most expensive estate on the island, throw Gatsby-style parties, and charm everyone within reach. But beneath the glittering surface, something is off.

Very off.

Because before summer ends, the Richardson mansion will burn to the ground. One of their most trusted employees will vanish without a trace. And the island’s perfect little illusion will fracture into something much darker.

Swan Song – The Book That Hinted At Everything

If you’ve been following author Elin Hilderbrand, you may already recognize this story. Season 2 will be based on her 2024 novel Swan Song, her self-declared “final” Nantucket tale. But here’s the catch: the book only scratches the surface. The show? It’s going deeper.

Sources inside the production confirm that showrunner Joanna Calo — best known for her Emmy-winning work on The Bear — is taking the story in unexpected directions. The show will follow the same setup, but new characters, new motivations, and new twists have been added to turn this into a mystery unlike anything Netflix has ever aired.

Nicole Kidman Steps Back — But Not Away

Nicole Kidman, who mesmerized audiences as Greer Winbury in Season 1, won’t return as an actress this time. But don’t worry — she’s still involved.

Kidman remains on board as an executive producer, ensuring the same level of polish, prestige, and emotional depth that made The Perfect Couple such a sensation. In many ways, she’s now the guardian of the series — making sure every season lives up to the standard she helped set.

What We Know So Far

The new season is still in production, and Netflix is keeping casting decisions under wraps. But here’s what we do know:

The series will center around the Richardson family, their suspiciously perfect image, and the chaos that follows them.

The story will unravel through multiple perspectives — locals, party guests, investigators — each with a piece of the truth.

The tone will be darker, more psychological, with less romantic glamour and more high-stakes consequences.

The mansion fire and disappearance are just the beginning. There’s a bigger secret. A devastating one.
