So, who are these new “perfect” strangers? Season 2 has assembled a cast that feels like a dream dinner party—the kind where you’d be a little nervous, but also really curious. Leading the pack is the legendary Henry Golding. Yes, the guy from Crazy Rich Asians is leaving the suit-and-tie world for a robe and some serious emotional baggage. Expect him to bring that charming smile, but with a hint of “I have a secret I’m hiding in my designer luggage.”
Then we have Liev Schreiber, who is the polar opposite of Henry. If Henry is the calm, cool drink of water, Liev is the storm cloud that might ruin your picnic. He has this intense, “I’ve seen things” face that makes you think he’s either a retired spy or a guy who yells at his Wi-Fi router. Either way, the drama is guaranteed.
The Women Who Will Steal the Show
The ladies of season 2 are not here to play small. Lena Olin is a seasoned actress who can cry on cue and look like a queen while doing it. She’s the type of guest who would ask for the bill before the appetizers arrive, but then secretly share her dessert with you. And then there’s Lily Rabe, who you might remember from The Undoing. She has the face of someone who really needs a vacation, which is perfect for a show about a wellness resort that’s anything but relaxing.

Oh, and let’s not forget the wildcard: Christine Baranski. Just say her name out loud. Even her voice sounds like she’s judging you, and that’s a good thing. She’s the woman who would order a kale smoothie and then dramatically complain that it’s not cold enough. We love her for it.
