Nicole Kidman stars in Girls and Their Horses adaptation, a new Prime Video series based on Eliza Jane Brazier’s novel, marking her return to television drama. Set in the intense world of showjumping, the story centers on the Parker family as they face unexpected tragedy and controversy in their pursuit of the sport.
Kidman Takes Lead in Showjumping Drama
Following her role in The Perfect Couple, Nicole Kidman will once again headline a gripping television project, this time delving into a suspenseful narrative set amid showjumping’s high stakes. The premise involves an ambitious family drawn into the competitive sport, but their dreams are upended by controversy and a shocking death that propels them into a search for answers.
Eliza Jane Brazier, author of the original novel, is writing the series pilot and will serve as executive producer. This creative continuity is expected to preserve the thrilling tone of her book. Prime Video has named Jenna Lamia as showrunner, bringing her experience from past collaborations with Kidman, including on The Perfect Couple.
Production Team and Expectations for the Series
The announcement positions Girls and Their Horses as a significant addition to Kidman’s recent string of television successes, following performances such as Margaret Woo in Expats and Celeste Wright in the acclaimed series Big Little Lies. The latter will reportedly see a third season in the future, giving fans further chances to see Kidman in complex roles.
While no further casting details have been released so far, Kidman’s involvement is expected to attract a wide audience. Her former co-stars from The Perfect Couple, including Liev Schreiber, Eve Hewson, and Billy Howle, contributed to the recent adaptation’s success for Netflix, which is now set to become an anthology series. As with those projects, Girls and Their Horses aims to blend family drama with suspenseful twists.

Prime Video has not yet provided an official release date for Girls and Their Horses. With production led by Jenna Lamia and Eliza Jane Brazier closely involved, expectations are rising for a polished adaptation that will captivate both fans of the book and new viewers drawn by Kidman’s star power.
Kidman’s recent television roles show her continued appeal for audiences seeking nuanced drama, and her return in this new series may generate renewed interest in the genre. The project’s unique setting within the showjumping community, along with the suspense-driven plot, sets the stage for another high-profile addition to her filmography. As details emerge, audiences can look forward to Kidman’s portrayal of intricate family dynamics and compelling drama in Girls and Their Horses.
