It’s no secret that Big Little Lies season 2 has added superstar Meryl Streep to its cast, and now, fans of the series can get their first look at the Academy Award-winner in character.
Access Nicole Kidman took to Instagram to gives fans their very first look at Streep in character on the series where she’ll be playing mother-in-law Mary Louise Wright to Kidman’s character Celeste.
“First day on the set with Meryl and ‘my’ darling boys! #BigLittleLies,” wrote Kidman along with the photo via Instagram on Thursday (April 5).
The photo features Kidman snuggling her on-screen sons Max and Josh close while Streep sits on the other side of the kids holding an iPad.
Given the pajama attire, perhaps mother and grandmother are reading the boys a bedtime story before sending them off to dreamland.
Mary Louise and Celeste might look cozy with the kids, but it’s anyone’s guess with regards to whether or not they’ll wind up butting heads as the series progresses.
Last season’s big cliffhanger ended with the death of Celeste’s abusive husband, and as a result, Mary Louise has come to Monterrey looking for answers.
According to the details HBO dished out when Streep’s casting was first announced, her grandsons are another huge motivator in Mary Louise’s trip out to Monterrey.
“She’s concerned for the well-being of her grandchildren following her son’s death,” revealed HBO.
We’ll be curious to discover if Celeste decides to trust Mary Louise enough to tell her the truth of how Perry really died, or if she’ll be on the defense in order to protect her family and her friends.
Big Little Lies season 2 is set to premiere on HBO sometime in 2019.
