Hollywood actor Nicole Kidman will be seen starring in a new series adapted from the book, Girls and Their Horses, by author Eliza Jane Brazier. The actor is also an executive producer on it.
Brazier’s novel, set in the idyllic community of Rancho Santa Fe, California, follows the newly wealthy Parker family as their daughters enter the fiercely competitive world of horseback riding. The tangled web of secrets, lies, and riches on the ranch eventually gets someone killed, leaving readers to follow along as the mystery unfolds. The star, 57, will portray the Parker family matriarch.
The murder mystery is currently in development and will be co-produced by Legendary Television and Amazon MGM Studios for Prime Video, according to reports. Jenna Lamia will serve as showrunner and executive producer.
Lamia is no stranger to book adaptations, having most recently adapted Elin Hilderbrand’s The Perfect Couple (2024) for Netflix, another thriller series starring Kidman. As the series is in early development, further casting details remain under wraps.
Kidman is known for her work in film and television productions across many genres. She has consistently ranked among the world’s highest-paid female actors since the late 1990s. Her accolades include an Academy Award, two Primetime Emmy Awards, a British Academy Film Award, and six Golden Globe Awards.
She started acting in Australia with the films, Bush Christmas (1983) and BMX Bandits (1983). Her breakthrough came with lead roles in Dead Calm (1989) and the miniseries Bangkok Hilton (1989). She then did projects such as Days of Thunder (1990) followed by leading roles in Far and Away (1992), Batman Forever (1995), Eyes Wide Shut (1999), Moulin Rouge (2001), The Others (2001), and Australia (2008), among others.
