HBO first revealed the announcement of "Big Little Lies" season 2 in December 2017 through Entertainment Weekly, saying that all the major stars will be back on the show with series creator David E. Kelley who will once again write the script and produce the upcoming season. However, Andrea Arnold will serve as the new director for the show instead of Jean-Marc Vallee from season 1.
During the time of the announcement, the second season of "Big Little Lies" will allow the series to look into the interesting and intricate lives of the characters from season 1 based on the bestselling novel of the same title written by Liane Moriarty. Kidman also expressed her excitement about the show's season 2 renewal.
"This is inspired by the overwhelming response by audiences around the world... What a journey this has been. I'm so grateful to have this opportunity to keep exploring these female characters and make this series with my friends," Kidman also said.
Aside from the original cast, the publication also revealed in January that the second season of "Big Little Lies" will also feature multi-awarded actress Meryl Streep who will play the role of Celeste's mother-in-law Mary Louise Wright. She will reportedly arrive in Monterey after the death of her son Perry (Alexander Skarsgård) because she was concerned about her grandchildren's welfare.
HBO has yet to reveal the release date of "Big Little Lies" season 2.
