It's not clear yet whether Kidman will star in the show or just produce it.

Few actresses have taken the transition to television more in stride than Nicole Kidman. Although she was a movie star for decades, Nicole is now all over the small screen after first jumping over with Big Little Lies. Now, the actress has announced her latest small screen project, an adaptation of Liane Moriarty’s Here One Moment.

Moriarty’s adaptations have been all over Netflix in recent years, including Big Little Lies, Apples Never Fall, and Nine Perfect Strangers, among others. Kidman has worked on two other Moriarty adaptations, but on this one, it isn’t yet clear whether she will also have a role on camera or not. For now, she is just producing the adaptation along with Per Saari, as well as Made Up Stories’ Bruna Papandrea and Steve Hutensky, according to Deadline. It’s worth noting, though, that Kidman has ended up starring in the past two Moriarty adaptations that she was a part of.

The novel tells the story of a flight in which one women predicts how much time various passengers have before they die. Her predictions turn out to be eerily accurate.

Regardless of whether she joins this adaptation, though, it’s clear that Kidman is still enjoying her job. In 2024 alone she has starred in Expats and The Perfect Couple on the small screen, and also had roles in movies A Family Affair, Babygirl and Spellbound. 

Here One Moment is also far from the only project the actress has on the horizon. She’s also set to star in a sequel to Practical Magic, another movie called Holland, Michigan, and a number of other projects. In the end, the question of whether she appears on screen in Here One Moment may have more to do with her schedule than anything else.

Get ready to put your mech suit back on. Variety is reporting that the Pacific Rim TV series has found a home at Amazon. Plot details for the series are currently being kept under wraps, but reporting suggests that this new show will be a prequel and that there is still a possibility that they will make more Pacific Rim films at some point as well. Eric Heisserer is set to serve as the show's writer and executive producer.

The first film was released in 2013 and directed by Guillermo Del Toro and Travis Beachem. That film imagined a world where Kaijus had long ago emerged from the ocean, and mankind's only hope of defeating them were giant mech suits called Jaegers. With humanity on its last legs, a washed-up pilot becomes their best chance for survival. The movie made over $400 million at the global box office and was divisive among both audiences and critics.

The second season of Max’s trippiest prestige series is now 100% on Rotten Tomatoes
The show is promising to be just as trippy and existential during its second season.
Nathan Fielder in The Rehearsal.

When it first debuted on Max in 2022, nobody really knew what to make of The Rehearsal. The series, which followed Fielder as he helped people "rehearse" for real-life situations so that they could be prepared for all of life's uncertainties, eventually spiraled out into something stranger and more existential as Nathan became a pseudo-patriarch in a fake family.

Although The Rehearsal was undeniably strange, it also earned an overwhelmingly positive response from critics, and it seems the show's second season is no different. The Rehearsal season 2, which is set to premiere on Max on April 20, now has a 100% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, which means that it has once again wooed critics.
