And now, she's back for round two – just in time to fill the gap left by The White Lotus.

The new season will premiere on 22nd May 2025, with new episodes releasing weekly after that.

The first-look images tease fresh mayhem for a new batch of unsuspecting strangers, this time headed to the Austrian Alps.

Based on Liane Moriarty's novel of the same name, the first season featured a stellar cast including Melissa McCarthy, Michael Shannon, Luke Evans and Manny Jacinto.

The cast of season 2 is just as star-packed, with Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek), Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), Lena Olin (The Unbearable Lightness of Being), Christine Baranski (The Good Fight, Mamma Mia), Lucas Englander (Transatlantic), King Princess, Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), Dolly de Leon (Triangle of Sadness), Maisie Richardson-Sellers (The Kissing Booth) and Aras Aydin (Cherry Season) set to join Kidman for the snowy ride.

Mark Strong has also been cast, and can be seen enjoying a tipple in one of the first-look images. Will this one also be spiked, or did Masha learn her lesson after last season?

Prime Video has released a synopsis that teases trouble for Masha herself: "Over the course of a week, [Masha] takes them to the brink. Will they make it? Will she? Masha is willing to try anything in the interest of healing everyone involved, including herself."

Given her track record, that's far from reassuring.
