Poorna Jagannathan, known for playing the female lead in Delhi Belly opposite Imran Khan, will have a recurring role in the second season of Emmy award-winning HBO miniseries Big Little Lies. Of course, now that it is getting a second season, it can hardly be called a miniseries. Jagannathan has previously worked with HBO on miniseries The Night Of, starring Riz Ahmed and John Turturro.
Before this, Hollywood bigwig Meryl Streep was also confirmed to be starring in the second season. Apart from this, Douglas Smith and Martin Donovan have also been cast in a recurring capacity.
Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoe Kravitz will reprise their characters from the first season. The first season of Big Little Lies received 16 Emmy nominations and won eight. The show also received six nominations at the Golden Globes and won four. The seven-episode show was announced as mini-series but was renewed after the success of Season 1.
