It looks like each guest at the “retreat” is taken back to a core memory of theirs, which is likely to cause a few dramatic moments. Masha herself looks to be coming face to face with her own demons – can she heal herself, like she seems to be trying to heal others?

Nine Perfect Strangers season 2 cast

Joining Nicole Kidman on the cast for Nine Perfect Strangers season 2 will be Mark Strong, Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), Lena Olin, Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek), Christine Baranski, Lucas Englander, King Princess, Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), Dolly de Leon, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Mark Strong and Aras Aydin.

Annie Murphy is taking on the role of Imogen, who she describes as “incredibly intelligent, and does her best to make that immediately clear to whoever she meets. Unfortunately for her, and despite her desperation for the opposite effect, her know-it-all personality doesn’t make her the most likeable person in the room.”

Murphy has some insight on Kidman’s Marsha, too, saying “Nicole brings an absolutely unpredictable energy to Masha, which has kept us all on our toes. She has become a really interesting character this season, because it’s become more and more unclear as to whether she’s the hero or the villain.”

As for Henry Golding, who we’re used to see play romcom leading men, his character ‘Peter’ has more to him than meets the eye: “Peter is the son of David Sharpe, the renowned billionaire. In a way he’s grown up in the shadow of his well-known father whose main goal was to build his businesses and make money,” explains Golding.
