Nine Perfect Strangers is centred on a group of nine individuals who, unbeknownst to one another, are brought together at a luxury health and wellness centre for a week-long retreat intended to transform their lives. The retreat is run by Masha Dmitrichenko, described as a “mysterious guru” who is “willing to try anything in the interest of healing everyone involved, including herself”. As the narrative unfolds, participants are pushed to their limits through psychedelic therapy sessions in the isolated Zauberwald resort.

The series is produced by David E Kelley, known for his work on Big Little Lies, together with Bruna Papandrea’s Made Up Stories, Kidman’s Blossom Films, and FIFTH SEASON, with FIFTH SEASON also handling distribution.

Based on a novel by Liane Moriarty, Nine Perfect Strangers achieved international acclaim during its first season for its exploration of trauma and unconventional healing practices. Series two shifts the setting from the original California backdrop to Austria, placing its new cast in unfamiliar territory, both physically and emotionally.
