Kidman reunites with her Big Little Lies and The Undoing creator David E. Kelley and the two serve as executive producers on the project.
The mini series is based on Moriarty’s 2018 bestseller and in an interview with The Guardian, the Australian author explained her inspiration for the novel.
‘We live in paradise. Most of us live such comfortable middle-class lives, and so, is it the desire for suffering? And this desire we all have for transformation,’ she told the outlet.
‘I can never see an article that says, ‘Just change this one thing about your life and you’ll be transformed forever’ – even though you know when you click on it, it won’t work, I find it irresistible,’ she added.
Joining Kidman in Nine Perfect Strangers are Melissa McCarthy, Bobby Cannavale, Luke Evans, Michael Shannon, Regina Hall and Samara Weaving.
Hulu has not yet announced a premiere date for the streaming series.
