Did Nicole Kidman just reveal something HUGE about 'Big Little Lies'?

We all know the code. If your gal pal gestures madly at you to stop talking, then you stop, right? Looks like Nicole Kidman didn’t get the memo ahead of an interview she and the cast of Big Little Lies season 2 did with People magazine this week.

“He was the most incredible acting partner,” the Australian explained, before adding “and then he came back for season 2.” Co-star Witherspoon was the first react, trying to get her friend’s attention by motioning her to stop.

Why? Because Skarsgard’s character, Perry, dies at the end of the first series, which is what prompts the entrance of his mother, played by Meryl Streep, in season 2.

Kidman did her best to recover, explaining, “He has a little bit of a part in the sense of … the basis of … okay, I’ll be quiet. He didn’t abandon us. We’ll put it that way.”

But it was clear that some plot point had been revealed, albeit unintentionally. Streep did distract matters a little when asked about her part in the project, admitting that she never even read the script before saying yes.

Her reasoning? “It was the greatest thing on TV.”
