Premise
Based on Liane Moriarty ’s bestselling book , and featuring Reese Witherspoon , Nicole Kidman , and Shailene Woodley , this darkly comedic series tells the tale of three mothers whose seemingly perfect lives unravel to the point of murder.[2]
Adaptation
The first season, initially conceived as a solitary one, covers the majority of Liane Moriarty 's Big Little Lies , with some minor alterations to the plot, additional characters, and an ending that could be considered more open-ended. Integral plot details left untouched, such as Bonnie 's childhood, have instead been incorporated into the second season with slight deviance from the source material.
Monterey, California
As opposed to the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia featured in the novel, the Californian city of Monterey provides the scenery for the first season.
Joseph Bachman
Joseph Bachman , the director of Monterey's portrayal of Avenue Q , does not exist in the novel and is central to the drama of Madeline 's life through their infidelity in the first season.
