There’s a quiet intensity to Lucas Englander—a magnetic presence that pulls you in from the first frame and doesn’t let go. The Austrian actor is steadily carving out his place in the global spotlight, and with his breakout role opposite Nicole Kidman in Season 2 of Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers, he’s firmly arrived.

Lucas takes on the enigmatic role of Martin, delivering a performance layered with vulnerability and complexity. From his very first appearance in Episode 1, he commands the screen with quiet force, leaving an unforgettable impression. As the season unfolds, his storyline deepens and his dynamic with Kidman’s character intensifies—culminating in a finale on July 2nd that promises to be explosive.

The first two episodes dropped in the U.S. on May 21st via Hulu, and globally on May 22nd via Prime Video, setting the tone for a season that’s already captivating audiences around the world.

Already gaining critical attention for his performance in Netflix’s Transatlantic, Lucas brought heart and heritage to the role—drawing from his own family history and reinforcing his commitment to real-world impact. As an ambassador for the International Rescue Committee, his off-screen mission is just as meaningful as the characters he portrays.

Whether starring in The Witcher, Catherine the Great, or Appearances—which earned him a nod from France’s prestigious César Awards—Lucas continues to prove that he belongs among the best. Fluent in French, German, and English, and splitting his time between Paris, London, and Berlin, he’s not just an actor on the rise—he’s a global storyteller with purpose.
