Here's how to watch Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers and how many episodes it has. The show is a Big Little Lies reunion between creator David E. Kelley and star Nicole Kidman, which is also an adaptation of Liane Moriarty's New York Times best-selling novel. Nine Perfect Strangers follows Kidman's Masha Dmitrichenko, who is a mysterious host at a health and wellness center called Tranquillum House.

The story of Nine Perfect Strangers follows a new batch of visitors who come to Masha's house in search of healing. The collection of visitors for the 10-day retreat are mostly strangers, although there are some couples and a family. Kelly assembled a great collection of actors around Nicole Kidman to play these strangers, with Melissa McCarthy, Regina Hall, Michael Shannon, and Samara Weaving among the many cast members. While these characters come to Tranquillum House to get better, they will soon learn surprising secrets about themselves, Masha, and her operation.

How To Watch Nine Perfect Strangers

Hulu previously announced that Nine Perfect Strangers will debut on the streaming service on August 18, 2021. Like every other streaming service, Hulu releases new episodes of their shows late at night, depending on where people live. Instead of following Netflix and Disney+ with 12:01 am PST debuts for new episodes, Hulu's originals come online at 12:01 am EST. That means new episodes of Nicole Kidman's show will be available to watch every Wednesday, with those in later time zones able to watch Nine Perfect Strangers as early as Tuesday night. So, technically the show releases at 12:01 am EST on August 18, 2021, or 9:01 pm PST on August 17, 2021.

The first season of Nine Perfect Strangers consists of eight episodes, but it will not all be available on Hulu at once or run for eight consecutive weeks. The first three episodes will be released at once on August 18 to give viewers a better idea of what the story is actually about. The remaining five episodes release weekly from that point on, with the finale airing September 22, 2021. At this time, there are no plans for Nine Perfect Strangers to extend beyond a single season. Unless that changes if the show is a huge hit for Hulu, this will be the series finale as well.
