Three more have been added to the cast of the second season of Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers. Variety revealed that Henry Golding, Mark Strong, and Lena Olin are joining Nicole Kidman, Murray Bartlett, Annie Murphy, Christine Baranski, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Dolly De Leon, King Princess, Aras Aydin, and Lucas Englander in the new season.
The plot of season two has not been revealed, but the first season was based on Liane Moriarty’s novel of the same name. In the story, Masha Dmitrichenko (Kidman) is the Russian founder of Tranquillum House, a wellness resort. Nine strangers from the city stay at the resort and discover things about their host and each other.
Created by David E. Kelley, the mystery-thriller series debuted in August 2021, and Hulu renewed the limited series in June 2023.
The following was revealed about the roles the new additions will play:
Golding will play the character Peter. Golding broke out with his starring role in the blockbuster film “Crazy Rich Asians.” He has since starred in projects like “Last Christmas,” “The Gentlemen,” and “Snake Eyes.” He is also set to appear in Guy Ritchie’s “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.”
Strong will play David in Season 2. A veteran actor, Strong’s recent film credits include “Tár,” “1917,” “Cruella,” the “Kingsman” franchise, the “Shazam” films, and “The Imitation Game.” He has also starred in TV shows such as “Temple” and “Deep State.”
Olin will appear in the role of Helena. Olin received an Academy Award nomination for “Enemies, A Love Story” in 1990, a BAFTA nomination for “Chocolat” in 2001, and an Emmy nomination for “Alias” in 2003. Her recent credits include “Spaceman” and “Mindhunters” at Netflix, “Hunters” at Amazon Prime Video, and “Vinyl” at HBO.
