To quote Wayne and Garth SCHWING!!! – Skatronixxx
HBO has become synonymous with five star entertainment with a Network that has seen critical acclaimed shows such as The Wire, The Sopranos and, of recent, Game of Thrones pass through their doors. The channel has also produced comedy-dramas like Sex in the City that saw Sarah Jessica Parker reinvent her career on tv after her film roles seemingly dried up.
In recent years the stigma for movie stars coming to tv has decreased with successes like True Detective showing that even Academy award winners like Matthew McConaughey can walk the line between the big and small screen simultaneously. So it comes as no surprise that HBO’s newest acquisition Big Little Lies is taking advantage of the new trend with it’s casting.
Based on Liane Moriarty’s 2014 novel, the Network’s newest drama-comedy will revolve around group of mothers to kindergarten-aged children getting caught up in a murder plot. Oscar winner Nicole Kidman has already been confirmed to star as the main character Jane with past reports also indicated that Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon is also set to join as one of the main cast.
