As audiences see in the first episode of the series, Greer is a formidable force.

An acclaimed murder mystery novelist, her storybook romance of marrying into a high-society family like the Winburys has made her a celebrity in her own right.

She’s also obsessed with maintaining her family’s pristine image and has doubts about her son’s choice of a wife.

A five-time Oscar nominee (she won best actress in 2003 for her performance in the 2002 film “The Hours”), Kidman is the biggest star in the cast.

While the Australian actor made her name in movies like “Moulin Rouge” and “Eyes Wide Shut,” she has turned more to television roles in recent years.

Some of her recent television projects include “Big Little Lies,” “Roar,” “Nine Perfect Strangers,” and “The Undoing.”

Kidman worked with Susanne Bier, who directed all six episodes of “The Perfect Couple,” on “The Undoing.”

Liev Schreiber plays Tag Winbury, whose family legacy and wealth goes back generations.

When we meet her in the first episode, Abby Winbury is expecting her first child with Benji’s older brother, Tom.

Fanning starred in “Ripley,” another Netflix series, and the horror film “The Watchers” earlier this year.

The actor first rose to fame as a child thanks to her memorable roles in “Uptown Girls,” “War of the Worlds,” and “Charlotte’s Web.”

Audiences may also recognize Fanning from her role as a villainous vampire in the “Twilight” saga.

Her other notable roles include “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “The Alienist.”

Eve Hewson plays Amelia Sacks, the bride.

Merritt is Amelia’s best friend, which appears to rub the Winburys the wrong way.

Fahy is probably best known for playing the scene-stealing Daphne in season two of “The White Lotus.”

Viewers may also recognize her from her role in Freeform’s “The Bold Type” and her appearances on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “Chicago Fire,” and “Gossip Girl.”

Billy Howle plays Benji Winbury, Amelia’s groom and the Winbury’s golden boy.
Jack Reynor as Thomas Winbury in “The Perfect Couple.”

Netflix

As the eldest Winbury son, Thomas has tried his best to live a life his parents would approve of: he works on Wall Street, has married well, and will soon give them their first grandchild. However, beneath the veneer of perfection, Thomas is struggling.

Some of Reynor’s notable film roles include “Midsommar,” “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” and “Macbeth.”

He previously starred alongside Eve Hewson in the Apple TV+ movie “Flora and Son.”

Sam Nivola plays Will Winbury, the youngest member of the Winbury family.

Shooter is treated as an honorary member of the Winbury family, having known Benji since they were at boarding school together.

Khatter, the son of Bollywood stars Rajesh Khattar and Neelima Azeem, has previously starred in the films “Beyond the Clouds” and “Pippa.”

Michael Beach plays the chief of the local police, Dan Carter.
Donna Lynne Champlin as Nikki Henry in “The Perfect Couple.”

Nikki is a no-nonsense detective who doesn’t defer to the Winburys like everyone else on Nantucket.

Champlin has previously worked with “The Perfect Couple” director Bier on the TV series “The First Lady,” but she is perhaps best known for playing Paula Proctor in the sitcom “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.”

Mia Isaac plays Chloe Carter, the local chief of police’s teenage daughter.
Isabelle Adjani as Isabel Nallet in “The Perfect Couple.”

Netflix

Isabel, whose ties to the Winbury family go back a long way, has traveled from France just to attend the nuptials.

The French actor is known for her roles in the films “Possession,” and “The Story of Adèle H.”

The latter earned her a best actress Academy Award nomination in 1976.
