big little lies season 2

It looks like Adam Scott will be growing out his luscious beard again. The Parks and Recreation alum is set to reprise his role as Ed Mackenzie, the husband of Reese Witherspoon’s Madeline, in Big Little Lies. Although Scott is currently starring in Fox’s Ghosted, he will return in a series regular role for Big Little Lies season 2.

Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley, and Zoe Kravtiz have all been announced to reprise their roles in the second season of HBO’s critically acclaimed suburban drama, joining new A-list cast member Meryl Streep.

Now Scott will help round out the star-studded cast, according to Entertainment Weekly.

And what will Ed Mackenzie be up to in Monterey? According to HBO, Ed will “forced to confront major challenges in his marriage,” probably revolving around Madeline’s prior affair with a local theater director.

HBO says season 2 “will explore the malignancy of lies, the durability of friendships, the fragility of marriage and, of course, the vicious ferocity of sound parenting. Relationships will fray, loyalties will erode … the potential for emotional and bodily injury shall loom.”

David E. Kelley is penning all seven episodes of season 2, which is based on a story from Big Little Lies author Liane Moriarty. Andrea Arnold will step into the director’s chair for the new season, taking the mantle from Emmy-winning season 1 director Jean-Marc Vallée.

There’s no date set yet for Big Little Lies season 2, but the show will likely arrive sometime in 2019.

Now that this is settled, you can sit back and pour yourself a glass of wine. It’ll be a long wait.

(Welcome to  The Soapbox , the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything. In this edition: Avengers: Endgame doesn’t honor its female characters in a way that actually carries weight. ) There’s no question that Marvel has a women problem. In the past decade and over the course of its 22 movies, only one of them was led by a woman, and one had a woman sharing the title. But the studio has been eagerly trying to make up for it in recent years, releasing Captain Marvel to critical and box office acclaim , and slowly introducing female fan favorites — some of whom would go on to get double billing in the big established movies. As we headed into  Avengers: Endgame , the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filled to the brim with strong, complex, rich female characters — some super, some not — who were on course to outshine even some of the male heroes. And with Marvel reportedly pushing for more female superheroes in front of and behind the

Before the weekend, Ghostbusters 2020 director Jason Reitman teased the return of the Ecto-1 with a photo showing that the paranormal investigation wagon probably needed a little love to get it back into shape. But he saved an even better look at the forthcoming sequel for later in the day with a Ghostbusters 2020 first look photo revealing cast members Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Carrie Coon as the family at the center of the story. Check it out below. Ghostbusters 2020 First Look Photo Mckenna Grace looks like she’ll make quite the new Ghostbusters, which is good since Reitman’s entire inspiration for this movie came when he envisioned a 12-year old girl sporting a proton pack.
