Kelley and exec producer Bruna Papandrea. The project comes from Kidman's Blossom Films, Papandrea's Made Up Stories and Endeavor Content.

Nine Perfect Strangers is set at a boutique wellness resort where nine stressed city dwellers go in an attempt to get on a path to a better way of living. The resort is overseen by Masha (Kidman), a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their minds and bodies.

McCarthy will play Francis, one of the nine. The project will be her first series-regular role since CBS' comedy Mike & Molly ended in 2016.
