Kidman added: “I’m excited to start working with Jen Salke and the Amazon team. Our goal at Blossom Films is to create important and entertaining content across multiple platforms, and I can’t think of better collaborators with which to accomplish this.”
Founded by Kidman and Per Saari, Blossom Films produced the HBO miniseries “Big Little Lies” for which Kidman won an Emmy for best actress in a limited series or movie, and is producing the second season of the series.
