Hulu’s programming slate continues to grow. Earlier today, the streaming service announced that Nicole Kidman and producer Bruna Papandrea will adapt Liane Moriarty’s best-selling book Nine Perfect Strangers via their respective production companies, Blossom Films and Made Up Stories. David E. Kelley and Edge of Tomorrow writer John Henry Butterworth will serve as showrunners as well as co-write the series.
Nine Perfect Strangers takes place at a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation as nine stressed city dwellers try to get on a path to a better way of living. Watching over them is the resort’s director Masha (Kidman), a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies, but these nine strangers have no idea what is about to hit them.

The series is the latest project from Blossom Films, Made Up Stories and Endeavor Content.

Made Up Stories was founded by Papandrea, the award-winning producer of the HBO series Big Little Lies and feature films Wild, Gone Girl, Warm Bodies and Milk. Endeavor Content’s upcoming TV slate includes Damien Chazelle’s musical drama The Eddy, hit series Killing Eve, and Apple’s See, which will star Jason Momoa.
Kidman was most recently seen in DC’s Aquaman, and will be returning to Big Little Lies second season on HBO.
