How far will Masha Dmitrichenko go to transform her guests? The famed guru is back for a new season of “Nine Perfect Strangers.” Hulu’s original series builds off of an impressive debut, which garnered critical praise as well as strong ratings. This upcoming season is set far from Cabrillo, opting for the frigid mysteries of the Austrian Alps.
Nicole Kidman returns as Masha. The acclaimed actress offers another memorable performance as this enigmatic Russian self-help expert. Masha’s approach during the first season shocked many, in no small part thanks to her microdosing guests without approval. This time, her methods promise to be even more shocking for viewers. Kidman also assumes extra duties on the project, serving as executive producer.
