Meryl Streep has just joined the cast of Big Little Lies, season two. No, really!

Ms. Streep will play Mary Louise Wright, the mother of Perry Wright (Alexander Skarsgård), mother-in-law to Nicole Kidman’s Celeste. 

According to Variety, after Perry’s death, his mother, “concerned for the well-being of her grandchildren, arrives in Monterey searching for answers.’’

I’m expecting more high drama and some more Big Little Lies. Need I say anything else. Nope, I don’t. Oh, except she’ll be pulling in $800,000 per episode. 

Season Two starts shooting in March with series episodes slated to air late in 2018 and early in 2019.
