Netflix is currently working on season 2 of The Perfect Couple following the surprise massive success of the series last year.

The project was originally intended as a six-episode limited series, but it ended up being one of the popular titles on the streamer last year as it spent six weeks in the Netflix English-language Top 10 TV chart and also topped Nielsen’s Top 10 Streaming chart when it launched.

Reports confirmed that season 2 of The Perfect Couple is in development at Netflix. No official green light has been given yet.

The potential second season will focus on a new story and characters, making the series an anthology. It will be based on the Elin Hilderbrand novel Swan Song.

Joanna Calo is attached to write, executive produce, and showrun the new season. Nicole Kidman, who starred in the first season, is returning to serve as an executive producer.

Just like The Perfect Couple, the story of Swan Song also takes place in Nantucket. It is unknown yet whether some of the characters from the first season will be brought back in the new chapter.

What is Elin Hilderbrand's Swan Song About?

Swan Song is part of Hilderbrand's series of novels that is set in Nantucket, Massachusetts.

Here is the logline of the novel:

Chief of Police Ed Kapenash is about to retire. Blond Sharon is going through a divorce. But when a 22-million-dollar summer home is purchased by the mysterious Richardsons—how did they make their money, exactly?—Ed, Sharon, and everyone in the community are swept up in high drama. The Richardsons throw lavish parties, flirt with multiple locals, flaunt their wealth with not one but two yachts, and raise impossible hopes of everyone they meet. When their house burns to the ground and their most essential employee goes missing, the entire island is up in arms.

It is worth noting that the character of Kapenash was renamed to Dan Carter in The Perfect Couple TV series played by Michael Beach. It remains unknown whether the character will be included in the potential second season.
