Nicole Kidman's TV Dominance: From Big Little Lies to Scarpetta

Nicole Kidman, nearly 60, has reinvented her career through television, appearing in eight series in eight years. After considering quitting acting around 2008 due to age-related role scarcity, she now stars in multiple projects simultaneously. Recent roles include medical examiner in Scarpetta (based on Patricia Cornwell novels) and lawyer/ex-wrestler in Margo ha problemi di soldi. Her upcoming film Amori & incantesimi 2, a sequel to the 1998 film with Sandra Bullock, releases after summer. Kidman often plays wealthy, mysterious matriarchs in series like Big Little Lies (2017-2019), The Undoing (2020), Nove perfetti sconosciuti (2021), and The Perfect Couple (2024). Critics have accused her of wasting talent on mediocre productions, but she prioritizes complex characters and works with female directors every 18 months. Since 2010, she runs Blossom Films, producing all her TV series since Big Little Lies. She helped pioneer Oscar-winning actors moving to TV, creating more industry jobs. Kidman has an Oscar for The Hours (2003) and two Emmys for Big Little Lies.
