Warning: Contains creamy spoilers for Big Little Lies season two.

Aside from the fact Meryl Streep is going to be in it, we don't know all that much about what Big Little Lies season two has in store.

Well, now we know one more thing, at least: Meryl Streep is going to be in it and she's going to get pelted with ice cream. A big towering cone of the stuff. By Reese Witherspoon, no less.

On Wednesday, photos of the scene being filmed began to circulate on Twitter.

Just look at the focus on Witherspoon's face as she pulls her arm back to throw that cone.

Well, the good news is we haven't been left wondering what happens next. On Wednesday night, Witherspoon took to Twitter to confirm it.

So there you have it: at some point in Big Little Lies season two, there will be a scene where Reese Witherspoon pelts Meryl Streep from behind with a large ice cream.

We'd tune in for that alone.
