The robes are back on and the psychedelics are flowing: Nine Perfect Strangers is set to return for a second season, this time taking its mind-bending wellness retreat to the snowy peaks of Austria.
Premiering 22 May on Prime Video, the new chapter reunites viewers with Masha Dmitrichenko (Nicole Kidman), the enigmatic retreat leader with a God complex and a pharmaceutical stash to match.
Now based at Zauberwald, a remote retreat nestled in the Alps, Masha’s mission is the same: transform nine broken people using experimental therapy methods that flirt with the extreme.
Who are Season 2’s Nine Perfect Strangers?
This time around, the strangers include some major screen talent: Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), Christine Baranski (The Gilded Age), Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek), Lena Olin, King Princess, Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), Lucas Englander, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Mark Strong, Dolly de Leon and Aras Aydin.
If the first season’s ‘wellness journey‘ was anything to go by, things are likely to get wild before they get better.
