Nicole Kidman And 'The Perfect Couple' Cast 'Had A Mutiny' Over The Opening Credits

When the director proposed a dance sequence to kick off each episode, the actors were as skeptical as the murder mystery's characters.

The opening credits of “The Perfect Couple” are palpably ecstatic — but they almost never happened.

Netflix’s new whodunit begins each episode with a joyous choreographed dance, but the cast once launched a near “mutiny” over the sequence, according to a Variety story published Thursday.

The series, based on Elin Hilderbrand’s novel of the same name, follows a wealthy family forced to postpone a wedding in Nantucket, Massachusetts, when the maid of honor is found dead shortly before her best friend’s nuptials.

“I think I felt that I want to do something where we are telling the audience ‘This is going to be fun,’” director Susanne Bier told Variety ahead of the show’s Los Angeles premiere Wednesday. “I feel this time [period] is a little bit gloomy and I felt I wanted to do something which had a lot of life.”

Bier settled on a flash mob-style beachfront dance set to Meghan Trainor’s “Criminals.”
