New trailer for Big Little Lies 2 as Meryl Streep joins the star cast

Meryl Streep is set to grill her off-screen friend Nicole Kidman in the next instalment of Big Little Lies.

The Season 2 trailer, just released by HBO, gives fans a taste of how the Oscar-winning actress plans to get to the bottom the cliffhanger death at the end of its first season.

The network revealed in 2018 that Streep would join the cast as Mary Louise, a grandmother looking for answers, reports news.com.au.

Now the D-Day has arrived and Nicole Kidman's character Celeste is the one bearing the brunt of her month-in-law's interrogation about the death of her abusive husband Perry.

While Steep steals the show, the new Season 2 trailer isn't all about her and her on-screen daughter-in-law.

It is also about the guilt felt by the Monterey Five.

Big Little Lies season 2 begins 10 June in NZ on Sky's Soho.
