The book itself does not have a sequel, but rather resolves its mystery in a standalone novel.
Now,Big Little Liesseason 3 is even in the works, and is slated for release next year.
Another Kidman show is also about to continue this trend:Nine Perfect Strangers.
If they do follow through with it, this would be a huge risk.
That said, it would be a huge risk to continueThe Perfect Couplewithout the source material.
That said, it makes sense why these producers are apt to expand theseKidman series.

For one, they are getting high viewership numbers, andThe Perfect Couple.
There is alsoa growing tendency to want to expand projects that were originally intended to be miniseries.
Such is the case withMare of Easttown, an award-winning HBO crime series starring Kate Winslet.
In the idyllic setting of Nantucket, a lavish wedding turns sinister when a body is discovered in the harbor just before the ceremony. As the investigation unfolds, every member of the wedding party becomes a suspect, unraveling secrets and lies. Starring Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, and Dakota Fanning, the series promises intense drama and mystery.
As in the case withBig Little Lies, this show was originally intended to be a miniseries.
Now, there are talks ofexpandingMare of Easttownto season 2.
UnlikeMare of EasttownorBig Little Lies,The Perfect Coupleseason 1 has mixed reviews from both critics and audiences.
This means that the vision of those who adapted the book is not entirely celebrated.
This makes it harder to trust thatThe Perfect Coupleseason 2 could be effective in jumping off from the books.
All six episodes ofThe Perfect Coupleare available to watch on Netflix.
One way to mitigate this issue is by involving the author directly in the development ofThe Perfect Coupleseason 2.
WhileThe Perfect Coupleitself is a standalone novel, Hilderbrand has experience writing sequels to her other books.
Perhaps this would mean the author would find a faithful way to continue the story past its miniseries format.
Without Hilderbrand,The Perfect Couplecould risk making its already mixed reviews even worse.
As the investigation unfolds, every member of the wedding party becomes a suspect, unraveling secrets and lies.
Starring Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, and Dakota Fanning, the series promises intense drama and mystery.
