Nine Perfect Strangers

If you’re skeptical about the world of smoothies and yoga retreats then Hulu has a show for you. This week marks the premiere of Nine Perfect Strangers, a miniseries based on Liane Moriarty’s book of the same name. And between its cast and gorgeous shots of a perfect oasis, this is one miniseries that will leave you hooked.

The eight-part series follows a group of people who sign up for a 10-day wellness retreat. But by Day 2 they realize it’s not their inner demons they should be fearing. Rather it’s their leader, Masha (Nicole Kidman). Wondering how you can watch? Here’s everything you need to know about Nine Perfect Strangers.

When Is the Nine Perfect Strangers Premiere Date? When Does Nine Perfect Strangers Premiere?

Prepare to channel your inner wellness guru this week. The first three episodes in Hulu’s newest miniseries are set to premiere on Wednesday, August 18. After the premieres of “Random Acts of Mayhem”, “The Critical Path”, and “Earth Day”, Nine Perfect Strangers will transition to a weekly release schedule.

What Time Does Nine Perfect Strangers Premiere?

If you love Hulu originals you likely already know the answer to this one. New episodes of Hulu shows are typically added at 12:01 a.m. ET. That means the second it becomes August 18, you should be good to stream new episodes. Don’t see Nicole Kidman right away? Don’t panic. If you refresh your browser or app the episodes should appear.

Altogether there will be eight episodes in this miniseries. Since this is a limited series, that’s all we can expect from Nine Perfect Strangers for now. But there’s always a chance this miniseries will go the anthology route. After all that’s what happened to Liane Moriarty’s other adaptation, Big Little Lies. Here’s your guide to the schedule:

The A listers, they’re a’coming. Nicole Kidman (Big Little Lies) stars as Masha, the goddess-like wellness guru who leads the eerily peaceful Tranquillum House. Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, Brand New Cherry Flavor) and Tiffany Boone (Hunters) star as Yao and Delilah respectively, two employees who become instrumental to this retreat. Those are the people in charge, but let’s move onto our guests, shall we?

Melissa McCarthy (The Heat, Bridesmaids) stars as Frances, a romance author going through a major existential crisis. She’s paired with Bobby Cannavale (Mr. Robot, Boardwalk Empire) as the brooding Tony. Next up are Melvin Gregg (American Vandal) and Samara Weaving (The Babysitter, Hollywood) as Ben and Jessica Chandler, a couple looking to reignite their intimacy. They’re followed by Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road), Asher Keddie (Offspring), and Grace Van Patten (The Meyerowitz Stories) as the Marconi family. And who can forget Luke Evans’ (Fast & Furious 6, The Hobbit, Beauty and the Beast) dismissive Lars or Regina Hall’s (The Hate You Give, Girls Trip) terrifying Carmel?

Is Nine Perfect Strangers Based on a Book? Is Nine Perfect Strangers Based on a True Story?

No, Nine Perfect Strangers isn’t based on real life. But it is based on a book. Written by Big Little Lies‘ Liane Moriarty, the novel was a New York Times Bestseller even though it received mixed reviews.
