'Big Little Lies' spoilers: Tension between Madeline and Mary? Meryl Streep's arrival in season 2 explained

Now with Perry dead - killed rather in an act of self-defense - it is but obvious that Mary's intentions for visiting Monetery are not the most harmonious ones.
PUBLISHED SEP 19, 2018

Drama will soar and relationships will get even more complicated in Monterey as a new cast member joins 'Big Little Lies' in season 2. The Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, and Zoe Kravitz-starring HBO series has already traced its way to the critics' radar, thanks to the tackling of tough subject matter like abuse and a murder. And it's going to get even more intriguing in the second season when Celeste's (Kidman) mother-in-law comes down for a visit.

Starring Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep as Mary Louise Wright, mother of Celeste's late husband Perry Wright (Alexander Skarsgard), the plot is headed straight for a battle, surprisingly involving Mary and fellow Monterey resident Madeline (Witherspoon).
