To quote Wayne and Garth SCHWING!!! – Skatronixxx

HBO has become synonymous with five star entertainment with a Network that has seen critical acclaimed shows such as The Wire, The Sopranos and, of recent, Game of Thrones pass through their doors. The channel has also produced comedy-dramas like Sex in the City that saw Sarah Jessica Parker reinvent her career on tv after her film roles seemingly dried up.

In recent years the stigma for movie stars coming to tv has decreased with successes like True Detective showing that even Academy award winners like Matthew McConaughey can walk the line between the big and small screen simultaneously. So it comes as no surprise that HBO’s newest acquisition Big Little Lies is taking advantage of the new trend with it’s casting.

Based on Liane Moriarty’s 2014 novel, the Network’s newest  drama-comedy will revolve around group of mothers to kindergarten-aged children getting caught up in a murder plot. Oscar winner Nicole Kidman has already been confirmed to star as the main character Jane with past reports also indicated that Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon is also set to join as one of the main cast.

Rounding off the cast is Shailene Woodley who outed herself as appearing alongside the two Academy award winners when she spoke at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit in New Delhi over the weekend.

Woodley, who is fast becoming the new darling of Hollywood, has an impressive resume of her own with not only the Oscar winning The Descendants (2011) behind her. But the mega popular tween novel-to-film series Divergent catapulting her into audiences conscious before winning the hearts of millions through her portrayal of sixteen-year-old cancer patient Hazel Grace Lancaster in The Fault In Our Stars (2014). Woodley’s inclusion in the HBO series will not only introduce a new generation of viewers to the network but will also add a trifecta to the impressive cast for one of televisions hotly anticipated new shows.

As of yet no airdate has been announced but Ally McBeal scribe David E. Kelley has been confirmed to adapt the book for HBO audiences.
