Big Little Lies season 2 premiere month revealed at HBO!
Today, the premium-cable network officially confirmed that the second batch of episodes for the Reese Witherspoon – Nicole Kidman series will launch in June — if you’ve been reading CarterMatt for a while now, then you know that this is the same date that Kidman specified during the New Year’s Eve broadcast on CNN. It makes sense for this to be the launch date, given that it will come on the air following the end of Game of Thrones and give the network some consistent programming for most of the next several months.
There is still one interesting awards ramification to point out about the season 2 premiere month — since it comes following the Emmys cutoff of May 31, we’re not going to see season 2 be eligible until 2020. You better hope that this show has some real staying power to be eligible for an awards show that is a good fifteen or so months after it first premieres!
As for details surrounded season 2 of Big Little Lies, HBO has understandably tried to keep things coy. They don’t want anyone to know too much regarding what lies ahead and for good reason, given that they have such a powerful show that is based, at least in part, on the element of surprise. We suppose that the #1 thing that the series does have going for it is the arrival of one Meryl Streep, just in case the show did not have enough huge names in terms of potential awards recipients already. Why not go ahead and add another one to the list now?
New episodes of Big Little Lies are going to be hopefully as dramatic and as powerful as we saw the first time; the large question mark here comes via the fact that we don’t know as of yet how they will work, now that the show is past the original source material. The photo above is one of the few that HBO has revealed already for the upcoming season — who doesn’t love a conversation over some local, non-Starbucks coffee? The problem here is that, ultimately, this is all we’ve got at the moment.
