Her role in 2002's The Hours won her the Best Actress Academy Award, and in recent years she has starred in the likes of Aquaman, Bombshell and Being the Ricardos, as well as TV series Big Little Lies, which won her two Emmys.
Last month, it was confirmed that Kidman will be returning for season 2 of Nine Perfect Strangers, which first premiered in 2021.
