09/02/19: The First Official Snaps From 'Big Little Lies 2' Have Officially Arrived

We don't want to alarm you, but the Monterey five are back and looking pretty darn great.

Two years since the drama-filled and emotional Big Little Lies burst into our collective consciousness, the show has announced its second season premiere date.

During the TCA press tour actress Laura Dern revealed the show will be retuning in June of this year in US, with the UK premiere date to follow soon after.

And, as if that wasn't enough HBO and the women of BLL shared the first official snaps of the second season and they have us pumped.

Images show the women of Monterey looking typically bougie, enthralled in gossip, and generally looking fabulous and dramatic.

And for those eagled-eyed watchers, yes, that's Meryl Streep, who plays Mary Louise Wright, [SPOILER ALERT] mother of Celeste's murdered husband Perry.

20/03/18: Reese Witherspoon & Laura Dern Just Gave Us Goosebumps With This 'Big Little Lies Season 2 Snap

Big Little Lies Season 2 officially started filming last Friday, and we for one couldn't be more thrilled.

Bring on the side eyes at the school gates, the large glasses of Pinot Grigio in beach-front mansions and, of course, a starring role by Meryl Streep.

And, in true Reese Witherspoon fashion, she's drumming up excitement for the news series already.

Yesterday, the Oscar winner and Laura Dern posted pictures on social media of themselves posing at a table in front of their Seaside Coffee Shop.

'Madeline and Renata are back. #BLL2,' Dern captioned the post while Witherspoon wrote, 'look who are back in town! #BLL' on her post to Twitter.

Given their rivalry in the show's first season, we can only imagine what these two are plotting in season two.

However, Witherspoon and Dern aren't the only cast members who have shared behind-the-scenes photos from the set of the HBO show.

Zoe Kravitz, who plays the free-spirited, yoga-obsessed mum Bonnie Carlson, also teased fans with an Instagram selfie last week.

'Bonnie's. Back. #BLL2,' the actress captioned the pic in which she sports Bonnie's iconic long hair.

And let's not leave out Shailene Woodley, who plays Jane Chapman. Last week, the actress shared a smiley picture of herself while holding back her hair, writing: 'Janes back. Let's do this #BLL2.'

Come on Nicole Kidman, we're waiting for a Celeste picture to complete the set.

Big Little Lies is scheduled to return in 2019.

Sharpen those Louboutins, ladies, because drama is coming.
