In the highest-profile limited series package to hit the marketplace since Nic Pizzolatto’s True Detective, which had Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson attached, Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon are set to star in Big Little Lies, a limited series, which is being written by Emmy winner David E Kelley.
The project is based on the book of the same name by Australian author Liane Moriarty. It is described as a subversive comedy which tells the tale of three mothers of kindergartners whose apparently perfect lives unravel to the point of murder.
“Dallas Buyers Club” director Jean-Marc Vallée is in talks to direct David E. Kelley’s HBO limited series “Big Little Lies,” in which Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman will star, Variety has learned.
HBO continues building out the cast of limited series Big Little Lies, starring Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, adding Alias alum Merrin Dungey, Larry Sullivan (CSI), and David Monahan (The Dark Knight Rises).
