Cast member Laura Dern revealed during the TCA press tour on Friday (February 8) that the second season of Big Little Lies will launch in June, and likely very soon after on Sky Atlantic in the UK.

Along with the premiere news, HBO and Sky have also released some first-look photos, all of which make it look like Madeline (Reese Witherspoon), Celeste (Nicole Kidman), Jane (Shailene Woodley) and the rest of the ladies are on edge.

They have good reason to be nervous! Another of the first-look photos shows Meryl Streep's arrival as Mary Louise Wright, mother of Celeste's murdered husband Perry.

The question of whether Alexander Skarsgård will return in flashbacks or otherwise as Perry remains to be seen. He did recently hint to Digital Spy that he "read all the scripts" for the sophomore run.
