Blood and Secrets Spill During Wedding Season in ‘The Perfect Couple’ Trailer
The old wedding tradition of something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue gets an unexpected extension in the first trailer for Netflix’s The Perfect Couple. Out Sept. 5, the six-episode series checks all four of those boxes but adds a fifth: something bloody.
The Perfect Couple stars Nicole Kidman as Greer Garrison Winbury, a famous novelist who has been less than supportive of her son Benji (Billy Howle) setting out to marry Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson). Sacks is navigating new territory as she prepares to enter one of Nantucket’s richest families. They have enough money to get away with murder and in the trailer — and they attempt to. On the morning of Benji and Amelia’s beachside wedding, a dead body turns up in the harbor, derailing the wedding event of the season.

“I would have thought our family’s contribution to the Nantucket fund would afford us a little more discretion,” Thomas Winbury (Jack Reynor) tells a police officer in the clip. There aren’t any clear suspects as of yet, or even much clarity on who died and how. But under the pressure of investigations and the harsh light of police interrogation rooms, exteriors start to crack and secrets begin to spill. “These people are used to getting whatever they want,” the officer says later in the trailer. “The minute they feel they’ve losing control, they burn it all down.”
The Perfect Couple also stars Liev Schreiber, Dakota Fanning, and Meghann Fahy. Additional appearances are made by Ishaan Khattar, Sam Nivola, Mia Isaac, Donna Lynne Champlin, and more. Susanne Bier directed the series, which was adapted from Elin Hilderbrand’s 2018 novel of the same name.
