Netflix's The Perfect Couple cast is jam-packed with A-list actors who help shape the Nantucket-based murder mystery. The miniseries is an onscreen adaptation of the eponymous book by New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand. The Perfect Couple centers on the wedding of Amelia Sachs and Benji Winbury at the Winbury estate in Nantucket. The night before the event, a murder occurs, raising suspicions about the entire Winbury family.
Murder mystery shows often focus on rich and privileged characters with morally questionable personalities. It is all the more riveting when these shows include an all-star cast. That is certainly the case with The Perfect Couple. Even the actors who don't have name recognition have dozens of credits under their belt, except for a few younger actors. The impressive cast in The Perfect Couple helps create a story filled with morally dubious characters pursuing their own self-interests at any cost.

Not since Big Little Lies have I been this intrigued by a murder mystery. Netflixs The Perfect Couple, which creator Jenna Lamia adapted from the novel by Elin Hilderbrand, has a slew of memorable characters and while its dark, its also funny. When it comes to peeling back the layers of a rich family who is the exact opposite of their facade, The Perfect Couple excels and leans into the typical murder mystery trappings while building an intriguing web of character connections. I enjoyed guessing whodunit the whole time without losing sight of the bigger picture.

The opening credits for The Perfect Couple are fun and cute. As Meghan Trainor’s “Criminals” plays, the cast of Netflix’s new limited series – from the police officers to the housekeeper to Nicole Kidman herself – perform a coordinated wedding dance on the beach. It’s the kind of clichéd bit one expects to see at a real wedding, and there’s something gleeful about watching this deep bench of stars and character actors shimmy and point their way through the routine.
It’s also tonally off-putting, though. The Perfect Couple is a soapy melodrama, but it’s also a murder mystery. By the end of the first episode one of these characters is dead, so while it makes perfect sense to open the series with this extravagant display of wealth, in subsequent episodes, including the killer-revealing sixth episode, the cute opening feels like it belongs on another show.

Sony Pictures & Apple Original Films reveal the first official trailer for Wolfs, an action comedy coming to theaters later this year (and eventually streaming on Apple TV+). Wolfs is the latest movie from director Jon Watts, who is taking a break from Spider-Man after making the three MCU movies before: Homecoming, Far From Home, and No Way Home. Though he's sticking around in NYC. The film follows two lone wolf fixers who are assigned to the same job. George Clooney and Brad Pitt (reteaming again after the Ocean's movies), two "lone wolves", are forced to work together, they find their night spiraling out of control in ways that neither one of them expected.

Wolfs is an upcoming crime thriller from director Jon Watts starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt as fixers assigned to the same job. Clooney teases that the movie will be rated R and have tonal similarities to the Ocean's franchise, with recent test audiences apparently loving it. The film will mark Clooney and Pitt's first collaboration since 2008's Burn After Reading, with the pair also previously collaborating on three Ocean's movies.
Wolfs star George Clooney shares a tantalizing tease about his upcoming movie collaboration with Brad Pitt. Directed by Jon Watts, the upcoming crime thriller tells the story of two fixers who are tasked with completing the same job, with Clooney and Pitt playing the leads. The two actors memorably starred together in Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's franchise from 2001 to 2007, with Wolfs, a deliberate misspelling, marking the two stars' first collaboration since 2008's Burn After Reading.
