Where to See the Big Little Lies Cast Next
Big Little Lies Is Over, but Don't Worry — Its Stars Have Some Incredible Projects Lined Up
6
Legendary Meryl Streep plays Monterey's newest (and arguably least popular) resident, Mary Louise Wright, and we certainly haven't seen the last of her (Streep, that is. Monterey is probably better off without Mary Louise, as fantastic as her character was). Mary Louise and Celeste may not have hit it off on the series, for obvious reasons, but in real life, Streep and Kidman apparently love working alongside each other. Streep will also appear in The Prom, where she'll play Dee Dee Allen, a Tony-winning actress who appears in a Eleanor Roosevelt-themed Broadway flop.
And despite their Big Little Lies coffee shop showdown, Streep and Dern have a project lined up together as well. In Little Women, Streep is taking on the role of Josephine March, the March sisters' wealthy aunt.
Streep will also star as Ellen Martin in The Laundromat, which is set to debut on Netflix later this year. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, who also directed Netflix's High Flying Bird, this film is an adaptation of The Secrecy World by Jake Bernstein, which is based on history's biggest data leak, the Panama Papers.
Finally, Streep has signed on for a yet-untitled Martin Scorsese project, a biographical drama in which she'll star alongside Sharon Stone. The movie is also coming to Netflix, though nothing else is known about the project.
