King Princess Breaks Down Her Dynamic with Nicole Kidman in Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2
18What do you get when you combine a nun who’s lost her faith, a disgraced children’s TV show host, and a prodigious piano player who’s disconnected from her music? Would it surprise you to discover that the answer is Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2? The first season of the series saw Masha (Nicole Kidman), an eccentric health guru, use her controversial methods on a group of wealthy clients in sunny California, while the second takes the audience to the decidedly snowier Austrian Alps. We quickly learn that Masha is no stranger to the location — nor some of the enigmatic retreat attendees.
A trio of those attendees consists of the aforementioned characters. The nun, Agnes, is played by Dolly de Leon in a beautifully nuanced performance, though that should come as no surprise, as she’s previously shown off her excellent dramedy chops in projects like Triangle of Sadness, for which she was nominated for a BAFTA and Golden Globe. Murray Bartlett, who won an Emmy for his turn in The White Lotus and was nominated for two more for Welcome to Chippendales and The Last of Us, takes on Brian, the puppeteer who has fallen from grace. Piano prodigy Tina is played by real-life musician King Princess, who’s known for hits like “1950,” “Holy,” and “Talia,” in her first acting role.
Collider got the chance to speak with the three about their characters. During the conversation, Bartlett revealed the challenges of acting alongside a puppet, King Princess broke down Masha and Tina’s complex relationship, and de Leon dissected the interesting choice for Agnes to refer to God as a “she.”
