Big Little Lies Season 2 is here! Initially, the series was conceived and released as a standalone event, but, as it turns out, awards show dominance can change a lot of minds.
Season 2 sees Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman return as producers in addition to their starring roles. Sadly, Jean-Marc Vallée, who directed all of the first season, is moving on from the director's chair, but will stay on to produce. Director Andrea Arnold ( Transparent ) has taken over the directorial gig.
Here's our review of the latest episode! And here are some of our thoughts on Meryl Streep's character Mary Louise Wright.
Up next? The freaking season finale! Titled "I Want to Know," here's the promo…
And here's the synopsis:
"Celeste questions Mary Louise about a tragic event from Perry's childhood; Madeline worries their lie is tearing the Monterey Five apart."

Latest TV reviews
Big Little Lies Season 2 Cast
Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, and Zoe Kravitz have all been confirmed by Deadline to be returning for Big Little Lies Season 2.
Meryl Streep will also be in this thing! Because why not monopolize every great actress in Hollywood? Streep will be portraying Mary Louise Wright, the mother of the first season's troubled Perry Wright (Alexander Skarsgard). For more spoiler-filled thoughts on that, check this out.
Meanwhile, Variety has confirmed that husbands Jeffrey Nordling and James Tupper will also be returning. Tupper plays Nathan Carlson, aka Madeline's ex-husband, Bonnie's husband, and Abby's father. Variety teases that he "must cope with a complicated turn of events in his marriage and with his eldest daughter Abby."

Young Sheldon's Iain Armitage will be returning as Ziggy Chapman, Jane's young son who is now beginning second grade.
Nordling, who plays Renata's husband Gordon Klein, "faces the consequences of a big mistake and risks losing everything along the way." Variety reports that Adam Scott will be returning as Madeline's husband in Season 2 and is "forced to confront major challenges in his marriage to Madeline."

Also per Variety , a string of familiar faces are reappearing in season 2, including Kathryn Newton as as Abigail Carlson (Reese Witherspoon's daughter by her first marriage), Robin Weigert as Dr. Amanda Reisman (Nicole Kidman's psychiatrist), Sarah Sokolovic as Tori Bachman (another mother in the community), and Merrin Dungey as Detective Adrienne Quinlan (the gumshoe tracking them all down).
This comes on the heels of news that Douglas Smith is joining Big Little Lies . Per an HBO release, Smith will play Corey Brockfield, an off-beat surfer, aspiring marine biologist and Jane's (Shailene Woodley) co-worker. We imagine he might want to be more than just a co-worker though?
In other casting news, Bonnie has parents! The HBO production has cast Martin Donovan ( Weeds ) and Crystal Fox ( The Haves and the Have Nots ) as the parents to Zoe Kravitz' character (via THR). Donovan will play Martin Howard, with Fox playing Elizabeth Howard.
