Nicole Kidman may have just turned 56 on Tuesday, but she has a lot more to celebrate beyond a day of love and cake.

It was announced on Wednesday that Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers, a series which Nicole both stars in and executive produced, will finally be receiving a second season.

Rumors of a renewal began circulating last year, over a year after the show first debuted on the streaming platform on August 18, 2021 with the eight episodes from its first season.

Nicole's show, "Nine Perfect Strangers," has been finally renewed for a second season

The series centers around Masha Dmitrichenko, the founder of a wellness resort named Tranquillum House played by Nicole, who possesses an aura of calm and serenity while helping nine strangers staying at the house heal and decompress from the stresses of their own lives.

While the first season received mixed critical reception, it was a hit with viewers, with the limited series' premiere becoming the most-watched Hulu original at the time.
