‘The Perfect Couple’ Series Trailer: Lavish Wedding Turns Into a Murder Mystery

Netflix’s The Perfect Couple trailer introduces a beautiful bride-to-be, an incredibly wealthy family, and the one that can completely ruin a wedding day: a dead body. The wedding of the season is suddenly tossed out of the spotlight when it’s discovered one of the guests could be a murderer.

Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s bestseller, The Perfect Couple limited series stars Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Meghann Fahy, Eve Hewson, and Dakota Fanning. Ishaan Khatter, Billy Howle, and Jack Reynor also star in the murder mystery.

“Amelia Sacks is about to marry into one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket. Her disapproving future mother-in-law, famous novelist Greer Garrison Winbury, has spared no expense in planning what promises to be the premiere wedding of the season — until a body turns up on the beach,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “As secrets come to light, the stage is set for a real-life investigation that feels plucked from the pages of one of Greer’s novels. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect.”
