Big Little Lies returns for its second season on Sunday night, and fans could not be more excited.
The HBO drama is all about a group of women with a violent secret and has a murderer’s row of talent, including: Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Zoë Kravitz, Laura Dern and new cast addition Meryl Streep. All that talent and the high quality of Season 1 has led to loads of enthusiasm surrounding the new season.

Plus, the Season 1 finale (then thought of the be the series finale) aired on April 2, 2017, which means it has been more than two years since fans got a new episode.

Final thoughts on #BigLittleLies season 1, as soon as the petty rich girl mom stuff ended, the show was fantastic. Hard for me to think of a show with a first episode I have liked less ending so well. Can’t wait for season 2.

In light of #BigLittleLies returning tonight, I just wanted to look back at the season 1 finale, “You Get What You Need,” to reiterate what a masterpiece it is. I will never forget those final 15 minutes – they are utter perfection. The show is a masterclass in everything. pic.twitter.com/vPUI7FZCiL
