If the richly drawn characters and shocking plot twists weren't enough to lure you into Big Little Lies [1], surely you at least tuned in to gawk at the multimillion-dollar Monterey, CA, properties [2]. All of the main women on the show (save for Shailene Woodley's Jane) hang their hats in gorgeous homes — but there's something major you may not have realized. "Those houses that everybody is going gaga over — only one of those three is actually in the Monterey Peninsula [3]," said Big Little Lies' location manager Greg Alpert.

In an interview with the New York Post, Alpert divulged that Celeste's (Nicole Kidman [4]) home is the only one that is located near the correct area. It's over in Carmel, one of Monterey's richest suburbs. Madeleine's (Reese Witherspoon [5]) and Renata's (Laura Dern) coastal houses are both 300 miles away, in Malibu. Heck, even Jane's humble abode is actually in Pasadena!

Both Celeste's and Jane's homes were also re-created on soundstages in Los Angeles, and even the sunsets you see while the characters are sipping wine on their balconies are digitally enhanced. The fakery!
