That epicBig Little Liesseason 1 finale might have been a bit misleading — that is, according toNicole Kidman.
During a panel discussion ahead of the June 9 season 2 premiere, Kidman (who plays Celeste, a domestic abuse survivor and the mom of twin boys) was asked about working withAlexander Skarsgård(her on-screen husband in season 1). Kidman’s response raised more than a few eyebrow in the crowd. And especially from herBig Little Liescostar and fellow executive producerReese Witherspoon,who stars as a stay-at-home mom named Madeline in the HBO hit series.
Witherspoon giggled, but she seemed slightly concerned as she motioned for her costar to stop talking. Kidman shrugged it off but tried her best to backpedal, adding, “He has a little bit of a part in the sense of … the basis of … okay, I’ll be quiet. He didn’t abandon us. We’ll put it that way.”
Confused? So are we.

In the final minutes of the season, the group of women — all struggling with issues behind the closed doors of their California mansions — banded together, promising to keep the circumstances of the night a secret.
The season 2 trailer gave fans a lot to look forward to, including a potential jail scene and a huge addition to the cast in Meryl Streep. The Hollywood legend is set to play Mary Louise Wright, Celeste’s mother-in-law who seems to have a lot of questions about her son’s death.

Although Streep’s a highly sought-after Oscar winer, it wasn’t as hard as you might think to get her to commit to the role. During the panel, she said she didn’t even read the script before signing on to the project.
Big Little Liesseason 2 premieres June 9 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
