New Cast, New Location, and Even More Mystery Await in Hulu’s Anticipated Sequel Series
Masha Is Back—But the Strangers Are All New
Hulu’s hit psychological drama Nine Perfect Strangers is making a high-altitude comeback. Nicole Kidman reprises her role as the enigmatic wellness guru Masha Dmitrichenko in the highly anticipated Season 2, which premieres on May 21, 2025.
This time, the series swaps its California spa setting for the dramatic, snow-covered landscapes of the Austrian Alps, promising a fresh location and a new group of emotionally burdened guests hoping to be healed—or pushed to their limits.
An A-List Ensemble Joins Kidman in Season 2
While Kidman is the sole returning cast member from Season 1, the sequel boasts a star-studded lineup of new faces. The Season 2 cast includes:
- Henry Golding
- Christine Baranski
- Annie Murphy
- Murray Bartlett
- Lena Olin
- Maisie Richardson-Sellers
- King Princess
- Mark Strong
- Dolly de Leon
- Lucas Englander
- Aras Aydin
Each character brings a unique emotional wound to the retreat, setting the stage for explosive personal revelations and deep psychological twists.
Season 2 Goes Beyond the Book
Season one was closely adapted from Liane Moriarty’s best-selling novel, but Hulu is taking creative liberty in Season 2. While the core idea remains—nine troubled individuals seeking transformation at a remote wellness retreat—the storyline will branch into uncharted territory beyond the source material.
Expect themes of emotional trauma, redemption, and moral ambiguity to take center stage once again—but in brand new ways.
A Snowy, Scenic Backdrop: Filmed in the Austrian Alps
Unlike the first season—which was filmed in Australia but set in California—Season 2 was shot entirely on location in Austria, bringing an authentic European winter atmosphere to the screen. The snowy alpine setting offers both beauty and isolation, providing the perfect metaphorical and literal environment for the group’s descent into introspection and confrontation.
The first-look images from Hulu show a stark contrast to the sunny spa of Season 1—this time, think snow boots, chalets, and icy secrets.
When and Where to Watch ‘Nine Perfect Strangers’ Season 2
Mark your calendars: Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 premieres May 21, 2025 on Hulu. The premiere will include two episodes, with the remaining episodes releasing weekly thereafter.
This episodic drop format ensures the suspense will unfold slowly—one revelation at a time—keeping viewers hooked across the season.
Why Fans Should Tune In
With Nicole Kidman once again at the center of a psychological whirlwind and a dynamic new ensemble cast, Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 promises to be more intense, more mysterious, and more visually stunning than ever.
Whether you’re a returning fan or a newcomer intrigued by the blend of wellness culture and psychological drama, Season 2 is set to deliver a chilling yet thought-provoking experience.
