Netflix plans second season of The Perfect Couple with new cast

Netflix's popular murder mystery series, The Perfect Couple, is set for a second season, but with an entirely new cast and storyline. This upcoming season will adapt Elin Hilderbrand's novel Swan Song, focusing on the enigmatic Richardson family and their lavish lifestyle in Nantucket. Joanna Calo, co-showrunner of The Bear, is attached to oversee the new chapter, while Nicole Kidman, a star from the first season, will serve as executive producer. The plot centers around a retired police chief whose plans are disrupted by a mysterious fire at the Richardsons' $22 million summer home, alongside the disappearance of their personal assistant. Although the original cast is unlikely to return, there are hints of potential crossover characters from the first season. The Perfect Couple has been a hit for Netflix, achieving significant viewership despite mixed critical reviews.
