"Let second grade begin."
The "unhinged" (not our words!) moms of Monterey are back for Big Little Lies Season 2, to deal with the fallout of a murder and – more importantly – relentless gossip.
Big Little Lies continues the story that concluded in Liane Moriarty's 2014 novel. Madeline, (Reese Witherspoon), Renata (Laura Dern), Celeste (Nicole Kidman), Bonnie (Zoë Kravitz), and Jane (Shailene Woodley) share the treacherous truth of Perry's (Alexander Skarsgård) death, but they can't risk any semblance of peaceful life.
Gossip they can deal with – Madeline delivers some delicious sass by sardonically unwrapping a cupcake. But that's nothing compared to the arrival of Perry's mother, played by Meryl Streep in a role so obviously set up for an Emmy that you have to respect it.
Big Little Lies returns June 9.
