On Sunday, the actor announced that he will be seen with Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber and Eve Hewson in Netflix’s limited series The Perfect Couple. 

Taking to his Instagram account, Ishaan made the casting announcement with the caption, “new beginnings”. An adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s bestseller The Perfect Couple, the six-episode series will be directed by Emmy and Oscar winner Susanne Bier.

Ishaan - who also acted in Netflix’s 2020 Shimit Amin and Mira Nair-directed British miniseries, A Suitable Boy - will play Shooter Dival, the groom Benji Winbury’s (Billy Howle) best friend, in The Perfect Couple. 

The plot follows Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson), a bride marrying into one of Nantucket’s wealthiest families. The groom’s mother Greer Garrison Winbury (Nicole Kidman), a famous novelist, spares no expense on the high-society wedding. But, when a dead body appears on the beach, everyone’s Champagne dreams quickly vanish and are replaced by suspicion. As secrets bubble up to the surface, an investigation takes hold that feels plucked from one of Greer’s books.
