The Perfect Couple is Netflix’s long-awaited drama series that is set to release on Sept. 5, 2024. Created by Jenna Lamia, it is a classic murder mystery which is expected to keep viewers at the edge of their seats.

Speaking to Netflix’s Tudum, Lamia jokingly recommended the truffle popcorn and red wine as the snacks of choice for viewers binging the series.

“That’s what I always pictured for some reason. If we’re not giving Olivia Pope, we haven’t done our job," Lamia said, referring to Kerry Washington's character in Scandal

Netflix’s newest show is originally adapted from the author Elin Hilderbrand’s eponymous work. Susanne Bier revealed they’ve maintained utmost accuracy with events from the novella: the story and characters. Bier added,

“I’ve always been very meticulous about the world being correct, but also the characters being specific because what never works is if it becomes generic.”

Lamia and Bier said they’ve been extremely detail-oriented throughout the production of the show and ensured everything from costumes to the set: the hydrangeas were prim, proper, and accurate per the book. The series promises to deliver plenty of drama, mystery, romance, flamboyant scenery, and more!
