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 favorite busybody.

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.

In February, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Laura Dern had signed on to return for season two. Additionally, a new story from Vulture had already teased her season two storyline. 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.

As of February, Kravitz is locked in for a season two return. Plus, the next installment is supposed to introduce Bonnie's parents, so we can expect her to be a pretty significant part of the story.

Jane has also been given a season two character arc, and Woodley is confirmed to return. Jane will reportedly cozy 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.

The Alienist star has joined the cast in a brand new role. He'll play Corey Brockfield, a quirky surfer and aspiring marine biologist who ends up working with Jane.
