The HBO crime thriller, The White Lotushas been all the rage since its debut in 2021. With its stellar cast, stunning visuals and witty humor, the anthology series has already won 15 Emmy Awards, and fans can expect the third season to premiere in 2025. But until then, how are we supposed to White Lotus Emptiness?

The answer, dear crime fans, is the new series from Netflix, The perfect couple– which also happens to be the streaming service’s number one show in the top ten list. The show is based on Elin Hilderbrand’s novel of the same name and is about Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson), a young woman who wants to marry into a wealthy family. Although her future mother-in-law Greer (Nicole Kidman) disapproves, she plans an extravagant wedding celebration. Everything seems to be going well – until a dead body turns up.

Of course, chaos reigns as everyone at the party becomes suspect. But similar to The White Lotus, The perfect couple focuses on super-rich people doing heinous things. It has a star-studded cast and, as you might expect, there’s plenty of dysfunction hidden beneath the glamour and picturesque vistas.

In a joint interview with Kidman, Liev Schreiber, who plays the groom’s father, said Entertainment tonight that he was immediately drawn to the show’s script and themes. He said, “After talking to Nicole and (director Susanne Bier) about the American aristocracy and its dark humor, which was very important to me, and when we started talking about ways we could get into that and what we could do to get at some of the more delightful and perverse aspects of that community, I was hooked.”

Another big bonus is that the series starts with a fun dance sequence. Chatting with DC Movie GirlsHewson said, “I was right there at the front and got my High School Musical dreams, and then everyone else somehow got on board.”

Meghann Fahy, who plays the bride’s best friend Merritt, added: “Yeah, at some point it was like you just couldn’t do anything about the music anymore. We did it about five times and finally gave up.”

The cast also includes Billy Howle, Dakota Fanning, Ishaan Khattar, Jack Reynor and Sam Nivola. All six episodes are available to stream now on Netflix.
