When Does Nicole Kidman's ‘Nine Perfect Strangers' Begin? How To Watch
Parital poster image for "Nine Perfect Strangers" Season 2. Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 — the continuation of the hit psychological drama starring Nicole Kidman — debuts on Hulu this week. Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 arrives nearly four years after the debut of Season 1 of the series on Hulu. The official summary for the second season of the critically acclaimed series reads, 'Nicole Kidman returns as the enigmatic healing guru Masha in the second season of Nine Perfect Strangers, based on Liane Moriarty's bestselling novel. "A new batch of wellness-seekers arrives at a mysterious Alpine resort looking for transformative paths to betterment and happiness. During their stay, the guests partake in unconventional methods to reach their goals, while Masha is forced to confront some past demons … threatening to destroy both her own personal wellness and that of her guests.' In addition to Kidman, Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 also stars Henry Golding, Lena Olin, Annie Murphy, Christine Baranski, Lucas Englander, King Princess, Murray Bartlett, Dolly de Leon, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Mark Strong and Aras Aydin. Nine Perfect Strangers begins streaming with a two-episode premiere on Wednesday, May 21, beginning at 3 a.m. ET/12 p.m. PT. The remaining six episodes of the series stream weekly on Wednesdays through July 2. Viewers who don't subscribe to Hulu can get an ad-based basic package with ads for $9.99 per month or an ad-free standard package for $18.99 per month. Viewers can also subscribe to bundled packages with Disney+ and Max. As of this publication, Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 has received a 29% 'rotten' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on seven reviews. The RT Critics Consensus and Popcornmeter score for Season 2 are not yet available. Among the top critics on RT who are giving Nine Perfect Strangers a 'rotten' review is Kristen Baldwin of Entertainment Weekly, who writes, 'Though the eight episodes are peppered with twists — including one late reveal that feels recycled from season 1 — Nine Perfect Strangers forgot a key ingredient for its storytelling smoothie: Fun.' Kayleigh Donaldson of The Wrap also gives the new season of Nine Perfect Strangers a 'rotten' rating on RT, writing, 'There are thrills to be mined in a show that's as deep as a puddle of champagne, but, like a microdosed drink, the aftereffects are minimal.' Kylie Northover of the Sydney Morning Herald isn't very impressed with Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 either, writing on RT, 'Aside from some adolescent-level commentary about wealth and privilege, there's not a lot going on here (not even a decent skewering of the wellness industry), aside from giving the real psychedelic therapy industry a bad name.' While no top critics on RT give Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 a 'fresh' rating, the series earned a positive review from Taylor Gates of Collider, who writes on RT, 'Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 has its fair share of effective twists and even more excellent performances, though it can feel limited by its short episode count and the constraints of its premise and genre.' Nine Perfect Strangers Season 1 yielded more positive reviews from RT Critics, but the season still only earned a 59% 'rotten' rating based on 111 reviews. The RT Critics Consensus for Season 1 of the series reads, 'A meandering mystery may muddle its impact, but strong performances across the board from this eclectic ensemble mean Nine Perfect Strangers is never less than watchable.' Season 1 of Nine Perfect Strangers did manage, however, to land a 60% 'fresh' score on RT's Popcornmeter based on 250-plus verified user ratings. Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2, starring Nicole Kidman, debuts on Hulu on Wednesday, May 21, with two episodes beginning at 12 a.m. PT/3 p.m. ET.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Has Traded in Designing Lingerie for Kids Clothes in a Vulnerable New Update
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is proving yet again that her creativity knows no bounds; and it's now going from her lingerie design to children's clothing design. On May 14, the Mad Max: Fury Road star revealed that she's now dabbling in fashion design for kids! She shared the update to her Instagram with the caption reading, 'After years of dressing my children in @kongessloejd, I'm delighted to now be sharing a collection we've created together— launching May 21st at 12pm CEST on This collaboration has been a very special one— the brand has been a part of our family life for nearly a decade, and it's been a joy to work closely with their team on pieces that feel both playful and timeless.' More from SheKnows Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Reveals How Jason Statham Being a 'Big Kid' Affects Their Parenting She added, 'There are personal touches woven throughout, including a few design elements inspired by Jack and Bella's own drawings— something that made this project all the more meaningful to us! I can't wait for you to see it. #rosiexks #kongessloejd #rosiehwxkongessloejd #rosiehuntingtonwhiteley In the post, we see pics of Huntington-Whiteley consulting people to make the designs, showing off how it has sayings on it like 'Ciao Bella' and her initials. We also see her kids in her checkered designs, looking as adorable as can be, and both of them showing off their lil artistry skills. The family that creates together, stays together? We're pretty sure that's how the new saying will go. But for now, let's talk about how cosmic it is that Huntington-Whiteley can design it all. Back in 2012, the supermodel launched a lingerie collaboration with retail titan Marks and Spencer's, first making a series of vintage-inspired silk lingerie sets, camisoles, French underwear, and kimono-style robes; moving onto more sexy lingerie. But now, it seems she's going into her mommy instincts with style. For those who don't know, Huntington-Whiteley and her fiancé Statham have been together since 2010, soon after meeting at a party in London. They later got engaged back in early 2016, and now have two children together: a son named Jack Oscar, born on June 24, 2017, and a daughter named Isabella James, born on Feb 2, 2022. In a previous interview with SheKnows, Huntington-Whiteley revealed how she loves learning from fellow moms, especially from those in her #MomSquad. 'I'm always fascinated to learn how working moms juggle it all. How all moms juggle it all. Because it's a juggling act whether you're working or not,' she said. 'I personally always leave conversations with other mothers feeling that I learned something or feeling inspired or comforted by their advice or opinions on things, and I certainly hope other mothers leave conversations with me feeling the same.'

Mission: Impossible ranked from worst to best – how does Final Reckoning stack up?
There's no bad Mission: Impossible ranking. In part, that's because there's no bad Mission: Impossible film. Which one you pick as your favourite depends on which ingredient you value highest. Want character development and emotionality? Watch Ethan Hunt become a desperate husband trying to save the woman he loves in Mission: Impossible 3. Want awe-inspiring thrills? See him scale Dubai's Burj Khalifa in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Beautiful images? Director John Woo's Mission: Impossible 2 is for you. Want shocking twists and turns? Throw on the first one. Since that initial instalment made its debut in 1996, producer/star Tom Cruise has willed his big-screen adaptation of a '60s TV show into a body of work that has justifiably come to define him as both an actor and a man. And in an era in which classic big-screen action filmmaking increasingly like a relic of another era, the Mission: Impossible films are a haven for those who still chase the surprise and delight that can only be found in the shared theatrical experience. With the release of the latest and possibly final instalment coming to cinemas on May 21 across the Middle East, here's how alll films – including Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning – stack up. It's hard to place any of these films at the bottom. And Mission: Impossible 3, directed by JJ Abrams, lands here despite boasting the best villain in the series (played by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman) and the most emotions. It turns Ethan from a hero largely without a singular identity into a loving husband pulled back into a deadly world against his will – who will stop at nothing to keep his wife safe. The Keri Russell cameo sequence is the best thing to be found here, and her final line is the most haunting in the entire franchise. While Tom Cruise dangling inches above a white floor in the first film will remain the definitive image of the series, no image will define Cruise's own legacy more than him hanging atop the Burj Khalifa in the fourth instalment . But while the action in Ghost Protocol, directed by Brad Bird, is often gorgeous, jaw-dropping and balletic, it's also the thinnest, least affecting story in the franchise. And because it almost completely lacks emotion, it loses nearly all momentum after the still-thrilling UAE sequence. If this is indeed the end, it's a worthy one. The action is the most tense Cruise and company have produced to date, and it's surprisingly emotional. Here, Cruise has pushed both the form and themselves to their absolute limits. But it's bogged down by too much exposition, particularly in the first hour, to pass its predecessors. There are two main reasons why the excellent Dead Reckoning was so disappointing for so many, despite boasting so many strengths. One is that Fallout was an impossible act to follow. But more importantly, its marketing campaign, centred around a behind-the-scenes featurette, spent too much time showing audiences the central stunt that was supposedly the reason for buying a ticket. Finally seeing it in context later felt like something of an afterthought. But revisit it, and you'll find it's not only full of the franchise's trademark thrills, it's also the funniest film they've made to date. After Brian De Palma, Cruise had trouble finding a director who could capture all aspects that a masterful Mission film requires. Abrams could tell a tale on the page but wasn't capable enough as a visual storyteller. Brad Bird increased the scale of the action, but the story fell flat. Christopher McQuarrie, meanwhile, put it all together in the most cohesive film since the first. It's no wonder Cruise has kept him connected at the hip ever since. Revisiting the entire franchise in preparation for Final Reckoning, I was ready to hate Mission: Impossible 2. As a kid, it was the coolest movie I'd ever seen, but over the years I'd accepted the opinion that it had aged poorly, and now sat as a cheesy blight on the franchise. What a delight to discover that, despite a plodding first half and painful villain, the second hour is transcendent, and includes some of the best purely visual storytelling in the history of action filmmaking, let alone this franchise. John Woo may have made this his own too much for the franchise's own good, but on its own, it's a gem. The first film the series does more than just lay the groundwork for what is to come. On its own, it's among the best spy thrillers ever made, thanks to a cracking and twisty script and De Palma working at the top of his game. Even nearly 30 years on, it's still endlessly rewatchable and each time better than you remembered it being. For the sheer breadth and scale of what this series can achieve, there is no better example than Fallout. It's a flawlessly constructed film, featuring seemingly unstoppable momentum that builds to a breathtaking crescendo. The only film that comes close to its heights is Cruise's own Top Gun: Maverick.
