Nicole Kidman‘s got a lot of horsing around in her future.

The Emmy- and Oscar-winning actress will star in and executive produce Girls and Their Horses, which is in development at Prime Video, our sister site Variety reports. Based on Eliza Jane Brazier’s 2023 novel, the series is a murder-mystery set in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. Per the official logline, the plot “follows the newly wealthy Parker family as they aim to position their teenage daughters in the rarified, sometimes deadly world of competitive horse racing.”

Jenna Lamia, with whom Kidman worked on The Perfect Couple, will serve as showrunner and executive producer. Brazier will pen the pilot and also be an EP.

Girls and Their Horses is the latest on Kidman’s long list of TV projects over the past few years, which includes Nine Perfect Strangers, Lioness, Top of the Lake: China Girl, The Perfect Couple, Big Little Lies, The Undoing, Expats and the upcoming Scarpetta and Margo’s Got Money Problems.
