8 shows to watch next if you loved ‘The Perfect Couple’

Kidman plays another upper-class mother in the popular mystery series, “Big Little Lies.”

The Emmy-winning show follows a group of mothers whose perfect lives unravel when Jane Chapman (Shailene Woodley) moves to their quaint town. The story spirals until a member of the community is murdered.

The series featured stellar performances from star-studded cast that included Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, Kidman, and Woodley.

Both seasons of “Big Little Lies” are available to stream on Max.

“Nine Perfect Strangers” is another series based on a novel by Moriarty and starring Kidman.

In the series, Kidman plays Masha, a remote wellness resort owner who welcomes nine strangers for a 10-day retreat. But the retreat spirals as secrets are revealed, and the strangers discover their connections to each other and Masha.

“Nine Perfect Strangers” is more of a psychological thriller than a murder mystery but still has a similar vibe to “The Perfect Couple.”

Season one of “Nine Perfect Strangers” is available to stream on Hulu. It has been renewed for a second season.

Kidman also starred in another murder mystery adaptation in 2020, “The Undoing.” Though the series has a darker tone than “The Perfect Couple,” it also follows a wealthy family whose lives are ruined by a murder case.

In the series, Kidman plays Grace, a successful therapist whose husband is accused of murder. The miniseries received rave reviews and won an Emmy in 2021.

Season one of “The Undoing” is available to stream on Max.

“Apples Never Fall” is the third and final series based on a Moriarty novel.

This series revolves around a middle-class family whose lives are turned upside down by an incident similar to what’s depicted in “The Perfect Couple.”

In “Apples Never Fall,” family matriarch Joy Delaney (Annette Benning) disappears, and a wounded woman arrives at the family home.

This forces Joy’s children to reevaluate their parents’ marriage and attempt to determine what secrets they may be hiding. Notable stars Alison Brie and Sam Neill play other members of the Delaney family.

Season one of “Apples Never Fall” is available to stream on Peacock.

If you’re looking for another murder mystery in a dreamy, sunny location with rich, self-absorbed people, look no further than “The White Lotus.”

The murder mystery anthology has won 15 Emmys over two seasons, and Fahy also appears in the second season. Both seasons are set at a luxury resort — in Maui in season one and in Italy in season two — where guests and employees clash until there is a murder.

“The White Lotus” also features many recognizable stars, such as Jennifer Coolidge, Sydney Sweeney, Theo James, and Aubrey Plaza. “The White Lotus” features several humorous, outrageous characters like “The Perfect Couple.”

The first two seasons of “The White Lotus” are available to stream on Max.

“Revenge” is a thriller following a woman’s mission to get revenge on the family that destroyed her life.

When Emily Thorne (Emily Vancamp) was a child, her father was betrayed by their rich neighbors and framed for a crime he did not commit. After learning the truth, Emily tries to integrate herself into the family to enact her revenge from the inside.

“Revenge” is filled with picturesque scenes and a good dose of murder and mystery.

All four seasons of “Revenge” are available to stream on Max.

For the most part, The CW’s “Dynasty” reboot follows the silly squabbles of a superrich family consisting of Blake (Grant Show), the patriarch and owner of a billion-dollar oil company, his aspirational daughter Fallon (Elizabeth Gillies) and his rebellious son Steven (James Mackay) and their multiple partners. But the series is also filled with backstabbing, dark family secrets, revenge plans, and murder.

“Dynasty” is more like a soap opera than a murder mystery, but many storylines do echo the suspenseful narrative of “The Perfect Couple.”

All five seasons of “Dynasty” are available to stream on Max.

If you want a whodunnit mystery, you may want to try “Death and Other Details,” which premiered earlier this year.

The series follows Detective Rufus Cotesworth (Mandy Patinkin) and his protégé, Imogene (Violett Beane), as they try to solve a murder on a luxury cruise liner.

Filled with eccentric, wealthy characters, family turmoil, and compelling plot twists, it is the perfect follow-up to “The Perfect Couple.”

Season one of “Death and Other Details” is available to stream on Hulu.
