Nicole Kidman Just Accidentally Dropped A Major ‘Big Little Lies’ Spoiler

WARNING: Stop reading now if you don’t want to see potential spoilers for Big Little Lies season 2.

One of the occupational hazards of being an actor working on a hugely successful television show is that a single slip-up during an interview could potentially ruin an entire season.

This is something Big Little Lies star Nicole Kidman knows all too well, after a recent incident at an event promoting the show’s second season, at women’s work space The Wing in New York City.

Kidman was reportedly asked about her experience working with co-star Alexander Skarsgård, who played her abusive husband in the show’s first season.

As fans of the series will know, Skarsgård’s character, Perry Wright, was killed off in the show’s explosive finale episode. Or was he?

According to PEOPLE, Kidman told the crowd at the event: “He [Skarsgård] was the most incredible acting partner, and then he came back for season 2.”

Kidman’s co-star Reese Witherspoon reportedly laughed and motioned for Kidman to stop talking, before Kidman attempted to backpedal.

“He has a little bit of a part in the sense of … the basis of … okay, I’ll be quiet,” she said. “He didn’t abandon us. We’ll put it that way.”

The second season of Big Little Lies explores the fallout from Perry’s death, after Kidman’s character pushed her abusive, unfaithful husband off a cliff as her friends looked on.

While the women all agreed to keep her secret and maintain that Perry’s death was an unfortunate accident, his mother, played by Meryl Streep, arrives in Monterey to do some investigating of her own.

Could it be that Perry didn’t die after all? You only have to wait until June 10 to find out, when the new season hits Foxtel in Australia.
