Big Little Lies Is Adding Some Serious Star Power to Season 2

In addition to signing on as an executive producer for the second round, Kidman is already locked in to reprise her role as Celeste, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She'll have a lot of sh*t to deal with since, you know, her abusive husband is dead.

We're so blessed that Witherspoon and Kidman are a package deal. Witherspoon has also committed to executive produce and star in the show's second season. Prepare for even more grade-A sass from Madeline aka Monterey's favourite busy body.

Dern hasn't exactly been confirmed for the new season, but a new story from Vulture already teases her season two story line. Renata will supposedly butt heads with Michael Perkins, a new teacher at Otter Bay Elementary School who inadvertently causes Amabella (Renata's daughter) to have a panic attack. We're going to guess that Dern is as good as on board.

Similarly to Dern, Kravitz hasn't signed on the dotted line for season two yet, but the next instalment is supposed to introduce Bonnie's parents. It would be pretty tough to incorporate Bonnie's parents into the story without, you know, having Bonnie in there, too. We're calling Kravitz a shoo-in.

Jane has also been given a season two character arc, which means we can safely assume Woodley is probably coming back. Jane will cosy up to another new character: there's a new employee in the school administration office who befriends (and builds a deep trust with) Jane. Maybe Jane will finally be able to heal now that her rapist is dead.

Praise be! Streep was added to the cast in January 2018. She'll be playing Perry's mother, who comes to Monterey hoping to get answers about Perry's death.

If you thought you were done with the monstrous, abusive tendencies of Perry Wright, think again. TVLine says Alexander Skarsgard will return in some capacity. I mean, he seemed pretty dead in the season one finale. Perhaps he'll return in the form of flashbacks and haunting nightmares? We're here for you, Celeste.
