Meryl Streep to star in 'Big Little Lies' season 2

Oscar-and Emmy-winning actor Meryl Streep has joined the cast of "Big Little Lies" season two on HBO.
Streep will play Mary Louise Wright, the mother of Perry Wright (Alexander Skarsgard).
Mary Louise Wright is described as a woman who is concerned for the well-being of her grandchildren following her son Perry's death. She arrives in Monterey searching for answers.
HBO announced in December that "Big Little Lies" would return for a second season, with most of the main cast from season one returning. Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon will again executive produce in addition to starring.
The first season was based on the novel of the same name by Liane Moriarty, with season two based partially on a new story by the author. Andrea Arnold will direct all seven episodes of the new season.
"Big Little Lies" premiered in early 2017 and went on to win eight Primetime Emmy Awards.
