Yahoo Lifestyle The Perfect Couple May Become Netflix Anthology, With Season 2 Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s Swan Song (Report)
It appears that Netflix is looking to stay in the Elin Hilderbrand business.
Though the streaming giant is not commenting, sister site Deadline reports that The Perfect Couple — which was based on Hilderbrand’s 2018 beach read of the same name and dropped its six-episode season in September 2024 — will continue as anthology series.

Season 2 is reportedly in development, Deadline says, and will be based on Hilderbrand’s 2024 novel Swan Song.
The Perfect Couple followed Amelia Sacks (played by Bad Sisters’ Eve Hewson), a woman who was about to marry into one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket. Her disapproving future mother-in-law, novelist Greer Garrison Winbury (Nicole Kidman), spared no expense in planning what promised to be the premiere wedding of the season — until a body turned up on the beach.
Liev Schreiber co-starred as Tag Winbury, Greer’s husband.
In Swan Song, the grand finale of Hilderbrand’s Nantucket novels, there’s a new couple in town — Bill and Leslee Richardson — and they derail Chief of Police Ed Kapenash’s plans to retire when their $22 million summer home burns to the ground, and their personal assistant goes missing.
Deadline hears that preliminary casting has started for the roles of Leslee and Bill, but again, Netflix is not commenting on this anthology/Season 2 report.
