Nicole Kidman has shared a picture of herself with Meryl Streep on their first day together on the set of Big Little Lies.
Three-time Oscar-winner Streep has joined the second season of the critically acclaimed HBO show as Mary Louise Wright, the mother-in law of Kidman’s character, Celeste.
Kidman posted the image to Instagram on Thursday, captioning it: “First day on the set with Meryl and ‘my’ darling boys!”
The show won four Golden Globes, including Kidman’s for best actress in a limited series and Laura Dern’s for her supporting role.
Dern said that her “acting dream has come true” when it was announced in January that Streep would join the cast, while Reese Witherspoon said she was “beyond thrilled”.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
