‘Nine Perfect Strangers’: Amazon Swoops For Global Rights To Nicole Kidman, Melissa McCarthy Series

EXCLUSIVE: Amazon has taken the global rights to Hulu’s Nicole Kidman and Melissa McCarthy series Nine Perfect Strangers, based on a novel of the same name by Big Little Lies author Liane Moriarty.

Amazon Prime Video will stream the eight-part limited series outside of the U.S. and China, bringing subscribers the story of nine stressed city dwellers who seek healing and transformation at a wellness resort run by Masha (Kidman). Trouble is, these nine “perfect” strangers have no idea what is about to hit them.
