Nicole Kidman has carved out an exciting new chapter in her career lately on the small screen. Her performance in HBO's Big Little Lies earned her two Primetime Emmy Awards and her recent turn in The Undoing also earned her critical acclaim. Thankfully, she's not done with television just yet as she sets her sights on Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers.

An adaptation of Lianne Moriarty's bestselling novel, it follows nine different characters that convene at a retreat conducted by an intriguing guru figure. Though they have nothing in common, they all have their own reasons for joining the retreat, setting the stage for a compelling thriller.

The show doesn't just gift Kidman with more of Moriarty's source material, it also sees her reunite with Big Little Lies creator David E. Kelley. Moreover, it features an incredible ensemble cast with Kidman joined by Melissa McCarthy, Luke Evans, Melvin Gregg, Samara Weaving, Michael Shannon and Regina Hall.

It was expected last year, but again, that couldn't happen. When it does arrive, however, expect a lot of awards buzz.
