A wedding takes a deadly turn in the teaser trailer for Netflix's The Perfect Couple. The series adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand's New York Times bestselling novel features Nicole Kidman in a starring role. The story revolves around Amelia Sacks, played by Eve Hewson, a bride-to-be from one of Nantucket’s wealthiest families.

As secrets unravel, a real-life investigation unfolds, reminiscent of a plot from one of Greer’s novels. The teaser hints at a web of suspects, with everyone potentially involved in the mystery. Kidman portrays Greer Garrison Winbury, the groom’s mother, while Liev Schreiber takes on the role of Tag Winbury, the groom’s father.
