Mientras que la primera temporada se basó en la exitosa novela de Scott Turow de 1987, que también fue adaptada en 1990 en una película protagonizada por Harrison Ford, la segunda temporada se basará en el primer thriller legal de Jo Murray, Dissection of a Murder, que llegará a las librerías en 2026.

A television adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand‘s bestselling novel of the same name, The Perfect Couple, premiered in September 2024 and brought us face to face with the scheming and shenanigans of the Winbury family. The show was originally conceived as a miniseries, but given that it became an instant hit upon its premiere, streaming giant Netflix decided to turn it into an anthology. It is certainly welcome news for the show's audience, who can't seem to get enough of The Perfect Couple's first season, which starred Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber in its lead roles. The miniseries' main mystery might have been solved, but there is more to uncover in Season 2, and Hilderbrand has an update.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy reboot is all wrapped up, just like its titular monster. The filmmaker has revealed that production has concluded on the hotly anticipated Blumhouse movie.

Cronin shared a picture of his director's chair on Instagram yesterday afternoon with the caption, "All wrapped up." While it's tough to surmise, it looks like the image was taken on the set for The Mummy, specifically the tomb where the titular monster might be found by Jack Reynor and Laia Costa's married couple, who reportedly will run afoul of supernaturally sinister forces throughout the reboot. Production on The Mummy began in Ireland and Spain in late March, meaning that the movie had a three-month shoot.

Dakota Fanning laughs while recalling her spontaneous decision to join Netflix's suspense drama The Perfect Couple. "The first thing they said was, 'You're Nicole [Kidman]'s daughter-in-law, you're pregnant, and you're the murderer,' and I was like, 'Yes!'"

The Emmy-nominated actor tells Gold Derby, "I was introduced to the project through Susanne Bier, who I had worked with before and became very close to. She called me, and told me a bit about the character. I don't even think she told me the title of the show or the book that it was based on. She said Nicole Kidman was involved, and I said yes. That was my introduction to it, and then, of course, I read the scripts and found out who was playing all the other parts, and as the cast was coming together I got more and more excited, but Susanne and Nicole were the two biggest draws for me.
