Before Celeste, Renata, Jane, Bonnie, and Madeline return in Big Little Lies season two, it’s time to make sure we’re set and ready. 

Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley aka The Monterey Five are all set to return for the second season of HBO’s acclaimed series. They will be joined by the amazing Meryl Streep. Yes, that’s right, Streep is making her way to the small screen as Mary Louise, the grieving mother of Perry (Alexander Skarsgård). Mary Louise is there to get some answers about that fatal night.

“I’m playing someone who is dealing with whatever the deficits of her parenting were, whatever the mysteries and how you can’t go back in time and fix something, all those issues,” Streep explained. “That was interesting to me.” 

“We left off with a lie, so it would have been disingenuous not to mine that lie for all its malignancy,” writer David E. Kelley told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s going to result in more skewed fractures and fissures in the friendships between the women, some of the marriages, and some of the individual psyches.”

The forthcoming season “will explore the malignancy of lies, the durability of friendships, the fragility of marriage and, of course, the vicious ferocity of sound parenting. Relationships will fray, loyalties will erode…the potential for emotional and bodily injury shall loom.”

According to Kidman, Season Two “is its own entity and hopefully, it will be taken that way. It was definitely made with an enormous amount of love.” Kelley added, ”The one thing that [Nicole and I] were really adamant about was being truthful to the recovery of abuse because it’s very complicated.”

Big Little Lies Season Two premieres, June 9.

While the second season of HBO’s acclaimed drama Big Little Lies is set to premiere June, it looks like fans should embrace themselves for the option that the season will be the series’ last. 

Multiple outlets report the creator of Big Little Lies have given some heavy hints that the series is more than likely end after a two-season run.

During the Television Critics Association press tour Friday, both cast and the creative team told reporters that there are plans for future seasons. Creator and executive producer David E. Kelley said, “There’s no such plan now. “It’s one and two, and we like our closure with season two, but that will probably be it.”

Nicole Kidman, star and executive producer added, “There’s no plan for it to end, specifically. This was a long shoot for us, and it was an enormous amount of work, and we’re just amazed that we can be here. Not to compare it to the first one because artistically it’s a wonderful thing to take something and go and the success of the first one was so massive, so we go, ‘OK, let’s jump off the cliff.’ But at the same time, it is its own entity and hopefully it will be taken that way. It was definitely made with an enormous amount of love.” 

The first seoson of Big Little Lies is based on a novel by Liane Moriarty. The initially limited series won eight Emmys for its first season. The series stars Zoë Kravitz, Laura Dern, Witherspoon, Kidman and Shailene Woodley. Season 2 will see the addition of Meryl Streep to the cast. Streep will star as Mary Louise, mother to Alexander Skarsgard’s Perry and Kidman’s Celeste’s mother-in-law. 

Big Little Lies is set to return in June.

Just as fans thought, Big Little Lies couldn’t get better. Hollywood icon Meryl Streep will be joining the series’ cast!

HBO’s acclaimed series is getting some more star power as Streep will be making a rare TV appearance. Her previous major TV role was well over a decade ago, on Angels in America (2003).

The Oscar-winner will join season two as Mary Louise Wright, mother of abusive Perry Wright (Alexander Skarsgard) who played Nicole Kidman’s onscreen husband. Following her son’s death, Mary arrives as Monterey, concerned for the well-being of her grandchildren.

Season 2 will see Celeste Wright (Kidman) “reeling from her husband Perry’s death, [she] is adrift, but determined to fight for her family and find the woman she once was.” While Reese Witherspoon’s Madeline Martha Mackenzie is “finding that good intentions don’t always yield good consequences, Madeline confronts the truth of Perry’s death, while coming to terms with her own marriage and traditional notions of family.”

With David E. Kelly serving as showrunner, the project was originally billed as a limited series, but its major success prompted HBO to make go for another round, making new deals with the show’s producers and cast.

Big Little Lies season 2 is expected to air in 2019.

The Emmy-nominated HBO show is up in the air, at least for now, according to Kidman. The actress told E! that that cast is still deciding rather there will be another season of the series. “No, it’s still not decided because it is a lot to pull together,” she shared.

As she explained, “the first one was a lot to put together, so we are sort of not taking it lightly in terms of what it needs.”

However, she’s completely aware of the popularity the show has with the viewers.: “We’re just so happy that the show has been received in the way it’s received.”

Before Celeste, Renata, Jane, Bonnie, and Madeline return in Big Little Lies season two, it’s time to make sure we’re set and ready. 

Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley aka The Monterey Five are all set to return for the second season of HBO’s acclaimed series. They will be joined by the amazing Meryl Streep. Yes, that’s right, Streep is making her way to the small screen as Mary Louise, the grieving mother of Perry (Alexander Skarsgård). Mary Louise is there to get some answers about that fatal night.

“I’m playing someone who is dealing with whatever the deficits of her parenting were, whatever the mysteries and how you can’t go back in time and fix something, all those issues,” Streep explained. “That was interesting to me.” 

“We left off with a lie, so it would have been disingenuous not to mine that lie for all its malignancy,” writer David E. Kelley told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s going to result in more skewed fractures and fissures in the friendships between the women, some of the marriages, and some of the individual psyches.”

The forthcoming season “will explore the malignancy of lies, the durability of friendships, the fragility of marriage and, of course, the vicious ferocity of sound parenting. Relationships will fray, loyalties will erode…the potential for emotional and bodily injury shall loom.”

According to Kidman, Season Two “is its own entity and hopefully, it will be taken that way. It was definitely made with an enormous amount of love.” Kelley added, ”The one thing that [Nicole and I] were really adamant about was being truthful to the recovery of abuse because it’s very complicated.”

Big Little Lies Season Two premieres, June 9.

While the second season of HBO’s acclaimed drama Big Little Lies is set to premiere June, it looks like fans should embrace themselves for the option that the season will be the series’ last. 

Multiple outlets report the creator of Big Little Lies have given some heavy hints that the series is more than likely end after a two-season run.

During the Television Critics Association press tour Friday, both cast and the creative team told reporters that there are plans for future seasons. Creator and executive producer David E. Kelley said, “There’s no such plan now. “It’s one and two, and we like our closure with season two, but that will probably be it.”

Nicole Kidman, star and executive producer added, “There’s no plan for it to end, specifically. This was a long shoot for us, and it was an enormous amount of work, and we’re just amazed that we can be here. Not to compare it to the first one because artistically it’s a wonderful thing to take something and go and the success of the first one was so massive, so we go, ‘OK, let’s jump off the cliff.’ But at the same time, it is its own entity and hopefully it will be taken that way. It was definitely made with an enormous amount of love.” 

The first seoson of Big Little Lies is based on a novel by Liane Moriarty. The initially limited series won eight Emmys for its first season. The series stars Zoë Kravitz, Laura Dern, Witherspoon, Kidman and Shailene Woodley. Season 2 will see the addition of Meryl Streep to the cast. Streep will star as Mary Louise, mother to Alexander Skarsgard’s Perry and Kidman’s Celeste’s mother-in-law. 

Big Little Lies is set to return in June.

Just as fans thought, Big Little Lies couldn’t get better. Hollywood icon Meryl Streep will be joining the series’ cast!

HBO’s acclaimed series is getting some more star power as Streep will be making a rare TV appearance. Her previous major TV role was well over a decade ago, on Angels in America (2003).

The Oscar-winner will join season two as Mary Louise Wright, mother of abusive Perry Wright (Alexander Skarsgard) who played Nicole Kidman’s onscreen husband. Following her son’s death, Mary arrives as Monterey, concerned for the well-being of her grandchildren.

Season 2 will see Celeste Wright (Kidman) “reeling from her husband Perry’s death, [she] is adrift, but determined to fight for her family and find the woman she once was.” While Reese Witherspoon’s Madeline Martha Mackenzie is “finding that good intentions don’t always yield good consequences, Madeline confronts the truth of Perry’s death, while coming to terms with her own marriage and traditional notions of family.”

With David E. Kelly serving as showrunner, the project was originally billed as a limited series, but its major success prompted HBO to make go for another round, making new deals with the show’s producers and cast.

Big Little Lies season 2 is expected to air in 2019.

As E! News reports, Nicole Kidman said there may be a second season of Big Little Lies.

The Emmy-nominated HBO show is up in the air, at least for now, according to Kidman. The actress told E! that that cast is still deciding rather there will be another season of the series. “No, it’s still not decided because it is a lot to pull together,” she shared.

However, she’s completely aware of the popularity the show has with the viewers.: “We’re just so happy that the show has been received in the way it’s received.”
