Nicole Kidman has had a remarkable impact on the world of entertainment with her exceptional talent and versatility. The actress started her career in 1983 with Australian productions such as ‘Bush Christmas’ and ‘BMX Bandits.’ However, it was her captivating performance in the 1989 thriller ‘Dead Calm’ that catapulted her to stardom. Following the breakthrough, Kidman went on to grace the silver screen in movies like ‘Days of Thunder,’ ‘To Die For,’ ‘The Hours’ and ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ and also impressed television audiences with her roles in ‘Big Little Lies,’ and ‘The Undoing.’ The Academy Award-winning actress always leaves an indelible mark on the audience with her performances, and she is expected to continue to do so in future projects. Here is a list of Nicole Kidman’s upcoming films and television shows!
