Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman stars as the matriarch of the wealthy Winbury family, who find themselves wrapped up in a murder mystery when a body turns up on the eve of their son’s wedding.

Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s 2018 novel of the same name, the vibe is a little bit “Big Little Lies,” except this show opens with a choreographed group dance number set to a Meghan Trainor song. No, really.
