Big Little Lies is based in the tranquil seaside town of Monterey, California, where nothing is quite as it seems.

Told through the eyes of three mothers - Madeline (Reese Witherspoon), Celeste (Nicole Kidman) and Jane (Shailene Woodley) - Big Little Lies paints a picture of a town fueled by rumors and DIVIDED into the haves and have-nots, exposing the conflicts, SECRETS and betrayals that compromise relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, and friends and neighbors.

The cast also includes Emmy®-nominee Laura Dern, Adam Scott, Zoë Kravitz, James Tupper and Jeffrey Nordling. Big Little Lies is written for television and created by David E. Kelley (seven-time Emmy® winner for "Picket Fences", "LA Law", "The Practice" and "Ally McBeal"; "Goliath") and directed by Jean-Marc Vallée ("Dallas Buyers Club"; "Wild"; "Demolition").
