A downright scary Meryl Streep wants answers in this new Big Little Lies season 2 trailer
Meryl Streep made an intimidating first Big Little Lies appearance in a quick teaser that dropped last month. She's back in the season 2 full trailer that dropped Friday, and she knows more than we thought.
Streep's last appearance revealed her to be playing Mary Louise Wright, the mother-in-law of Celeste Wright (Nicole Kidman), who arrived in Monterey after the death of her son Perry. And while she was obviously suspicious in the last clip, this time around, she spookily reveals that she knows Celeste "learned of [Perry's] infidelity just 10 seconds before he died."
Of course, the rest of the newly dubbed "Monterey Five" make an appearance in the trailer as well. Reese Witherspoon's Madeline and Laura Dern's Renata share signature jabs with the school principal, Shailene Woodley's Jane has a new love interest, and Zoë Kravitz's Bonnie joins them in trying to reckon with it all. Watch the trailer below.
