Ensemble shows have been taking screens by the storm. Particularly ones where a set of people get locked away on a deserted island, or in the middle of a desert, or inside a hotel as they thrive in luxury but slowly spiral to insanity in the fight to get out of the encampment. And with Nine Perfect Strangers setting up stage for a second season, so are the cast filling up their seats in performance.

Faces both old and new have culminated a lineup that creates just the right amount of anticipation for the new season. 

Nine new, perfect strangers have once again been handpicked by the wellness retreat runner, Masha Dmitrichenko. Floors shined, exclusivity maintained, and secrecy rejuvenated. Against the Austrian Alps, a jarring opposition from the last season's California sun, twelve cast members, one in reprise and nine new, are set to orchestrate the haunting experience of Nine Perfect Strangers: 

Continuing her role as the owner of the wellness retreat, Nicole Kidman picks up right were she left off. But with new ghosts this time around. Enigmatic, savvy and ice-blonde, her guests would take no time to follow her serenading into wellness. 

Recently spotted snooping into giving a touching performance to spice up The Last of Us, a series that is already stirring Emmy hype, the actor has made his way into the wellness retreat as well. His experience in The White Lotus standing proudly as a badge on his sash only gives more for the spectators to expect from. 

Emmy and Tony bagging actress Christine Baranski will be seen playing Victoria, one of the unsuspecting guests,  is shown to be journeying to self-discovery, a contrast to her age. Creating a humorous yet poignant path for both her and the audience to walk across until the end. 

Black Mirror star Annie Murphy is set to play one of the newcomer guests at Masha's wellness center. Another Emmy bagger, this time for her role in Schitt's Creek, Murphy brings with her the broodiness of a character that has much to hide and much to struggle out of the confines of.

Filipino actress Dolly de Leon, acclaimed for her performance in Triangle of Sadness, plays Agnes, adding further international flair to the ensemble.

Richardson-Sellers, known for The Originals and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, takes on the role of Wolfie, another guest hoping for healing and change in the life that she is leading. Unsuspecting of the twists are turns that await her at the wellness retreat. 

Mikaela Straus, known by her stage name King Princess, without a mistake, has been set to join the ensemble to the second season as well. Her appearance will be marking her television debut playing a major role as well as to bring a much needed freshness that comes with youthful energy. 

Turkish actor Aras Aydın adds to the diversity of the cast as Matteo, another guest drawn to Masha’s unusual methods for personal transformation.

Lucas Englander, recognized for his work in Babylon Berlin, plays Martin, whose story is sure to intrigue as the season unfolds.

Still riding the high brought in by Crazy Rich Asians, Henry Golding brings a charm and complexity to Peter's character. One that has been singled out to have motivations that are not what they seem. 

Shrouding the season with his mysterious presence, is the esteemed Marks Strong's character, David. Promising to be a powerful persona through the second season. 

Another veteran comrade, Lena Olin previously seen in Chocolat and Alias is the final revealed guest of this season, heartily being welcomed to Masha's wellness retreat. Unsuspecting of what is to come. 

With Nicole Kidman leading the cast with her potentially longstanding role in the series, the ensemble features a sensible mix of both rising and established name in the industry. With the series focused on the healing that Masha performs on her wellness retreat, each character has been carefully crafted to hold their own set of baggage. Wounds that they need to surface from. Surprises are uncovered as Masha's unconventional methods are put to test once more.
