Wellness guru Masha Dmitrichenko<\/a> is up to her same mysterious ways during the Nine Perfect Strangers<\/em><\/a> season 2 premiere \u2014 but this time, she\u2019s in a colder climate and her guests appear to be more connected to one another.<\/p>\n During the Wednesday, May 21, episode, Masha (Nicole Kidman<\/strong><\/a>) reveals that she is under investigation by the federal government for her controversial drug practices after being arrested during the season 1 finale for giving her California retreat guests<\/a>\u2019 psychedelic drugs initially without their consent.<\/p>\n Despite the stress, Masha is continuing to make strides in the use of psychedelics to see dead loved ones and process trauma \u2014 plus, she\u2019s still seeing visions of her late daughter and keeping it a secret.<\/p>\n To recalibrate, Masha agrees to go to Zauberwald and team up with Helena (Lena Olin<\/strong>), who was vital in her own health journey a decade prior. While at the Austrian Alps retreat, Masha plans to guide nine new strangers on their own wellness journey using mushrooms and other experimental treatments.<\/p>\n \u201cNone of you are safe,\u201d Masha ominously warns the group during their first meeting. She then pivots the plan and plays coy about her intentions for the retreat to Helena and Martin (Lucas Englander<\/strong>), the on-site scientist.<\/p>\n Scroll down to meet Masha\u2019s new group of strangers:\n<\/p>\n Peter (Henry Golding<\/strong><\/a>) kicks off his journey around a campfire with hikers claiming he is going to a \u201crustic cabin\u201d next. His cover is blown when a driver from Zauberwald in a Mercedes picks him up in the woods. Throughout the episode, Peter tries to get a call out to see if his father, David (Mark Strong<\/strong>), is coming like he agreed but there\u2019s no service.<\/p>\n Imogen (Annie Murphy<\/strong><\/a>) is quiet and a bit snarky when she rides the ski lift with Brian (Murray Bartlett<\/strong>). During their brief discussion in the tram, Imogen hints that she knows of Brian\u2019s past, but he doesn\u2019t recognize her. It is later revealed that Imogen came to the retreat to work on her issues with her mother, Violet (Christine Baranski<\/strong><\/a>), who she claims was \u201cneglectful\u201d and \u201csmothering\u201d and a \u201cmonster.\u201d<\/p>\n Brian is the third guest to arrive. His fear of heights is evident as he and Imogen ride up together on a ski lift to the lavish estate. Brian is frustrated after his luggage gets stuck on the lift and even after retrieving it one piece has gone missing, which causes him extra stress.<\/p>\n Agnes (Dolly De Leon<\/strong>) is mistaken for a worker by Brian upon his arrival since she\u2019s wearing the employee uniform. Agnes doesn\u2019t correct him and instead takes Brian\u2019s luggage to his room. During the first day, it is revealed that Agnes is a nun that is famous.<\/p>\n Unlike the other guests, Violet has been to Zauberwald before for various wellness treatments over the years. While she was supposed to come alone, Violet brought her new boy toy, the much younger Matteo (Aras Aydin<\/strong>), which angers her daughter, Imogen, even more.<\/p>\n While Imogen is surprised to meet her mom\u2019s new boyfriend, Masha tells Am that Matteo must stay because he\u2019s part of the \u201cplan.\u201d Matteo is foreign, unaware of Violet and Imogen\u2019s family issues and is up for anything.<\/p>\n Wolfie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers<\/strong>) is a British musician who arrives at the retreat with her partner, Tina (King Princess<\/strong>), who has no idea what is about to happen.<\/p>\n When Tina gets to the retreat, she is happy about the accommodations but her tone changes when she sees a piano in her room. The instrument appears to be a sore spot for Tina, and it sends her into a spiral.<\/p>\n You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n David, Peter\u2019s father, is spoken about but not seen for most of the premiere as he\u2019s MIA. When Masha meets the guests on night one, she reveals that they can\u2019t start the \u201cprotocol\u201d until everyone is there, noting that David\u2019s presence is necessary to proceed.<\/p>\n At the end of the episode, viewers learn that David is a billionaire who Masha knows from the past. Helena admits she is worried about what his arrival will do to Masha and the group, but Masha claims she\u2019ll \u201cremain in the present.\u201d David, meanwhile, is in Munich working on a business deal which has delayed his arrival.<\/p>\nPeter<\/strong><\/h3>\n
