Big Little Lies

Pay parity shockers are all too common, as Princes out-earn Queens and X-Files agents fight for equal pay. HBO has preemptively taken matters into its own hands (with a little help from Reese Witherspoon) to ensure “no inappropriate disparities” between male and female stars.

We’re going to need bigger Little Lies. Our first official photo from Season 2 of the awards-gobbling HBO miniseries has arrived, as Nicole Kidman invites none other than Meryl Streep to overload Monterey with star-power.

HBO has a vast bottom line to pump millions into Game of Thrones, but even they have limits. Company heads admit that pricey purchases like a Game of Thrones spinoff or even Big Little Lies Season 2 have burned serious holes in their pockets.

Lest you think the Big Little Lies Season 2 casting of Meryl Streep might eat into the budget, HBO won’t skimp on our second trip to Monterey. The whole of Season 1’s expansive cast has formally signed on for the Emmy-winner’s 2019 return, including our beloved wine-sloshed Laura Dern.

Meryl Streep is coming for your Emmys next. Hollywood’s most beloved actress is officially headed to TV, as HBO’s Big Little Lies pours a little California wine into the Holy Grail of Season 2 castings.

Even as the definition of “Limited Series” has become maddeningly opaque, it’s time for the 2018 Golden Globes to crown the Best Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television. And unless you’ve been living under a rock, that award was always going to HBO’s Big Little Lies.

Peak TV got even Peak-ier this year, taking us everywhere from Gilead, to Monterey, to another universe populated solely by Carrie Coon. Join ScreenCrush TV critic Kevin Fitzpatrick on the impossible task to rank the very Best TV Shows of 2017!

The writing was already on those fabulous Monterey walls, but Big Little Lies is officially getting bigger. HBO confirms a second season of its Emmy-winning drama in the works with the original cast, and Andrea Arnold taking over the director’s chair.

You’d be hard-pressed to top the one-off, wine-soaked perfection of Big Little Lies, but HBO can’t help flying a little closer to that Monterey sun. A new report suggest Season 2 is officially a go, with production earmarked for 2018.

You tell us – was there some subtle shade between Reese Witherspoon and her ‘Big Little Lies’ co-stars at the Emmys?
