What are Nicole Kidman’s movies and TV shows in 2026?
Recent feature films
- Babygirl (2024): Kidman plays Romy in a film rated R at 114 minutes, according to Flicks (Australian film listings).
- Practical Magic 2 (2026): Kidman reunites with Sandra Bullock as Gillian Owens (Wikipedia (filmography reference)). No dated premiere source has been confirmed.
Recent television series

- Lioness (Paramount+, since 2023): according to Wikipedia (filmography reference), Kidman plays Kaitlyn Meade.
- Margo’s Got Money Troubles (Apple TV, 2026): Kidman is credited as executive producer (Wikipedia (filmography reference)). Her on-screen role details are not yet confirmed.
Kidman’s 2026 slate is well sourced by title but thin by date. Treat any premiere date you find without a platform’s own listing as provisional.
The implication: the titles are documented, but the release dates are not, so check each platform before you plan a viewing.
What is the list of Nicole Kidman movies in order?
Earlier feature films
- Bush Christmas (1983): her film debut, made at 16 (Television Academy (official awards records))
- Days of Thunder (1990): her Hollywood debut, opposite Tom Cruise (Wikipedia (filmography reference))
- To Die For (1995): the film behind her first Golden Globe (Television Academy (official awards records))
Award-winning and nominated films
- Moulin Rouge! (2001): an Oscar-nominated role, according to Stream-Tracker (streaming aggregator)
- The Hours (2002): her Best Actress Oscar win (Television Academy (official awards records))
- Lion (2016): an Oscar nomination for playing adoptive mother Sue Brierley, according to Stream-Tracker (streaming aggregator)
- Being the Ricardos (2021): an Oscar nomination for playing Lucille Ball, according to Women’s Weekly (Australian lifestyle magazine)
The catch: the nomination count rests on an aggregator, so check each nomination against the Academy’s own database before you quote it.
Which TV shows has Nicole Kidman appeared in?
Big Little Lies
- HBO series, 2017 to 2019, adapted from Liane Moriarty’s novel, with Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley and Laura Dern (Rediff (entertainment news))
- Kidman won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie in 2017 (Television Academy (official awards records))
- She was executive producer on the series, which won Outstanding Limited Series (Television Academy (official awards records))
Her first Emmy nomination came earlier, in 2012, for playing Martha Gellhorn in the HBO TV movie Hemingway & Gellhorn (Television Academy (official awards records)).
The Undoing and Lioness
- The Undoing is listed on JioHotstar in India, per Rediff (entertainment news).
- Lioness is a Paramount+ series in which Kidman stars, according to Wikipedia (filmography reference).
Lioness has two episode counts on record: 24 on Wikipedia and 16 according to Stream-Tracker (streaming aggregator). A binge planner should check the Paramount+ listing before committing.
The trade-off: the Emmy record is documented in official records, but the Lioness details are not, so trust the awards list more than the episode count.
Where can you watch Nicole Kidman movies on Netflix?
Checking current availability
- According to The Cinemaholic (Netflix title guide), Netflix carries Lion, The Northman, The Perfect Couple, A Family Affair and Spellbound.
- The Perfect Couple (2024) is a Netflix mystery series in which Kidman plays Greer Garrison Winbury (The Cinemaholic (Netflix title guide)).
- Scarpetta is listed on Prime Video, and no source here places it on Netflix (Rediff (entertainment news)).
Regional catalog differences
- Big Little Lies streams on Max according to FYC (industry credits database), but Rediff lists it on JioHotstar in India.
- In Australia, Flicks (Australian film listings) and Stan (Australian streaming catalog) list Kidman titles as streaming locally.
Streaming is where the sources disagree most. Confirm each title on the service’s own catalog page in your country before you subscribe.
The implication: a title that streams in one country can be absent in another, so the catalog where you live decides the answer.
What role does Nicole Kidman play in Aquaman?
Character: Atlanna
- Kidman plays Atlanna, Queen of Atlantis, in Aquaman (Rotten Tomatoes (film and TV credits)).
Film release: 2018
- Rotten Tomatoes lists the role under the 2018 film (Rotten Tomatoes (film and TV credits)).
- A separate entry ties the role to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, released in 2023. That conflicts with the 2018 entry, so the 2023 link is unverified.
The catch: one role can appear under two film years on aggregator pages, so cite the 2018 film unless a studio listing says otherwise.
Confirmed facts vs. open questions
- Best Actress Oscar for The Hours at the ceremony, the first Australian winner in that category (Television Academy (official awards records))
- Two Primetime Emmy wins, both for Big Little Lies (FYC (industry credits database))
- First Golden Globe in 1996 for To Die For (Television Academy (official awards records))
- First Emmy nomination in 2012 for Hemingway & Gellhorn (Television Academy (official awards records))
Open questions
- Total Golden Globes: FYC reports six, but the sources reviewed conflict and no Tier 1 record confirms the count (FYC (industry credits database))
- Oscar nominations for Moulin Rouge! and Lion rest on an aggregator, not an Academy record (Stream-Tracker (streaming aggregator))
- The Rabbit Hole nomination rests on a single low-confidence TV listing (On TV Tonight (TV listings))
- Lioness episode count: 24 on Wikipedia, 16 on Stream-Tracker (Wikipedia (filmography reference))
- No source here gives confirmed premiere dates for Scarpetta, Margo’s Got Money Troubles or Practical Magic 2
- Big Little Lies streaming platform: Max per FYC, JioHotstar per Rediff (Rediff (entertainment news))
- Netflix availability of Scarpetta and of specific titles on the publication date
The implication: the unresolved list is longer than the confirmed one, so treat each open item as provisional until a Tier 1 record settles it.
What the sources say
Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman made her film debut when she was just 16 years old, in the Australian film Bush Christmas.
Television Academy (editorial bio)
Kidman’s Oscar-winning role as Virginia Woolf in The Hours is her only Academy Award win.
Rediff (entertainment news)
Two Primetime Emmy Awards, both for Big Little Lies.
FYC (industry credits database)
The pattern: the strongest claims come from the Television Academy, while the streaming and nomination claims come from outlets that do not cite primary records.
What this means for your watchlist
Kidman’s awards record is the most solid part of this guide, anchored by one Oscar and two Emmys tied to named records. Her newer titles are real, but their dates and streaming homes are still moving targets. For a viewer planning a 2026 binge, the choice is clear: confirm each title on its platform before subscribing, or start with Big Little Lies and The Hours, both backed by official awards records.
