In Netflix's new murder mystery, The Perfect Couple, Amelia is about to marry into the wealthy Winbury family, much to the disapproval of her matriarch mother-in-law, when a body is found on the beach hours before the ceremony. Suddenly everyone is a suspect.

The six-part series arrives on the platform tomorrow (5 September) and features a star-studded cast, including Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Dakota Fanning and Eve Hewson. As you immerse yourself in the eerie Nantucket Whodunnit?, you might find yourself wondering where you've seen the cast before. (As well as who's responsible for the murder, of course.)

The series, based on Elin Hilderbrand's best-selling novel, invites viewers to 'devour the most delicious, indulgent, shocking show on TV'. So we've done some digging so that you don't have to miss a moment of the drama while you google where you've seen the bride before.

What else have The Perfect Couple cast been in?

Nicole Kidman

The matriarch of the family, Greer Garrison Winbury, a famous novelist and mother of the groom, is played by murder mystery and eat-the-rich aficionado, Nicole Kidman. The award-winning actress has, of course, starred in an endless number of hit films and TV shows including The Hours, Moulin Rouge!, Australia, The Undoing and Big Little Lies.

Liev Schreiber

The father of the groom, Tag Winbury, is played by Liev Schreiber. You might recognise him from X Men Originals: Wolverine, Spotlight or Everything is Illuminated.

Dakota Fanning

Abby Winbury, the sister-in-law on the show, is played by Dakota Fanning. More recently, you might have seen her in The Watchers or the Netflix adaptation of The Talented Mr Ripley, called Ripley. However, Dakota is a also a child star who appeared in films such as Uptown Girls, The Cat in the Hat, Charlotte's Web, The Secret Life of Bees and Coraline.

Eve Hewson

The bride and outlier of the Winbury family, Amelia Sacks, is played by Eve Hewson of Bad Sisters fame. As well as starring as the youngest of the five Garvey sisters, Eve has starred in Behind Her Eyes, Robin Hood (2018) and The Luminaries.

Meghann Fahy

The White Lotus season two star, Meghann Fahy plays Merritt Monaco, Amelia's best friend. Aside from starring in the aforementioned hit murder mystery, Meghann is known for her part in The Bold Type. It's also worth mentioning that she is dating man of the moment Leo Woodall, who played Dexter Mayhew in Netflix's smash hit adaption of One Day, in February. So you may also recognise her from his social media profile...

Ishaan Khattar

The groom's best man is an important role in any wedding. In this show, Shooter Dival is played by Ishaan Khattar. You might recognise him from A Suitable Boy, but he's also starred in several Indian films including Beyond the Clouds, Dhadak and Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi! (meaning This is what life should be like!) which he starred in as a child actor.
