Adaptation Insights
The six-part limited series, which debuted on Thursday, September 5, is based on author Elin Hilderbrand's book of the same name. The Perfect Couple follows the story of a bride named Amelia (Eve Hewson) preparing to marry into one of Nantucket’s wealthiest families. Things take a turn when a dead body appears on the beach, making everyone at the wedding a suspect.
While Netflix's version adhered closely to the book's summary, several major changes emerged, from character names to the unfolding of the murder. The reveal that Abby (Dakota Fanning) was at fault for Merritt's (Meghann Fahy) death stayed the same, but there was more nuance onscreen.
