Big Little Lies: The Trailer for the HBO series

Did you catch the teaser trailer for Big Little Lies? The seven part series based on Liane Moriarty’s book will air on HBO sometime early in 2017. 

Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Shailene Woodley play three very different mothers whose lives interconnect over their kids. It’s a darkly comic look at the whole elementary school dynamic, parental involvement run amok, and oh, yeah, murder.

I read the book back in May of 2015 and absolutely loved it. I was deeply disappointed to learn the film would relocate from the shores of Australia to Northern California but while we won’t be visiting the fictional Pirriwee Peninsula, the coastal California setting seen in the trailer does look fetching. Alexander Skarsgard, Laura Dern, Adam Scott and Zoe Kravitz. Reese Witherspoon originally optioned the novel and got the gears turning, Jean-Marc Vallée, who Witherspoon worked with on Dallas Buyers Club and Wild, directs.

Did you read Big Little Lies? Are you looking forward to the HBO series?
