The Oscar and Emmy-winning actress will play Mary Louise Wright–the mother to Alexander Skarsgard’s abusive (and now deceased) character Perry Wright.

Mary Louise arrives in Monterey with concern for the well-being of her grandchildren, as well as looking for answers following her son’s sudden death.

According to Variety’s sources, Meryl Streep will make $800,000 per episode.

The riveting show is based on the Liane Moriarty novel, “Big Little Lies”.

Season two of Big Little Lies has no official premiere date, but it will more than likely come back in 2019. Patience my dear, patience.
