Nicole Kidman: Meryl Streep invited herself onto Big Little Lies

The A.V. Club

Kidman tells Variety that Streep wasn't actually recruited for the HBO series. Following their big Golden Globes win, Kidman says she and Reese Witherspoon received an email from Streep. "She goes, ‘I suppose now I have to join you.’ And we were like, ‘What?’ The two of us were just shocked," says Kidman.
