HBO has announced that Big Little Lies is returning for season 2, and fans are literally dying with excitement.

The first season was a huge hit, starring Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, and Lara Dern. David E. Kelley will return to write all seven episodes of the season with director Andrea Arnold taking over for last season’s director Jean-Marc Vallee.

“I’m excited to announce the return of Big Little Lies,” HBO programming president Casey Bloys said in a statement. “David Kelley wrote beautiful scripts and Reese and Nicole were, once again, a force to be reckoned with, reuniting the cast and recruiting the talented Andrea Arnold to direct. We look forward to working with this amazing group of artists.”
