TVLine Items: Kidman’s Perfect Nanny Series, Leno’s Garage Closed and More
Nicole Kidman just can’t stay away from HBO: The Big Little Lies vet is headed back to the premium cable network as the star and executive producer of the limited series The Perfect Nanny, our sister site Deadline reports.
The project hails from Pen15 co-creator/co-star Maya Erskine, who will write The Perfect Nanny, in addition to headlining the series with Kidman.
Based on the book of the same name by Leïla SlimaniIn, The Perfect Nanny tells the story of “a seemingly perfect nanny [who] goes to work for a couple with two young children, but her helpful personality eventually deteriorates into something sinister.”

Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
Why do all these HBO shows sound like fancied-up plots from the Lifetime network?
Thank you. I was thinking the same thing.
Cause well, you know

The Perfect Nanny sounds like a version of The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. Ugh.
Couldn’t remember the title — thank you! — but that is exactly what I was thinking.
Looking forward to Rabbit Hole…
Yay!! I love Somebody Feed Phil!!
“CNBC is closing up shop on Jay Leno’s Garage, cancelling the reality series…” on the same day it is disclosed he crashed his motorcycle sustaining numerous significant injuries.
.
Because the show is played out? Because OSHA won’t let him near a vehicle any more? His life insurers are withdrawing coverage? The City of Los Angeles has declared him a public danger? Because he and Harrison Ford are too old to be near moving machinery?
.
Inquiring minds…just curious.
And in a surprising twist, the finale reveals that the whole series was a prequel to “The Others”!
Poor Leno. Talk about adding insult to injury.
