Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and Shailene Woodley Star in the First Trailer for HBO’s Big Little Lies

HBO is headed into the new year with a fresh star-studded project: Big Little Lies, a seven-part limited series helmed by David E. Kelley (The Practice) and Jean-Marc Vallée (Wild). After dropping a fairly ambiguous teaser trailer back in October, the pay-cabler is now amping up its promotional efforts in advance of the series’ 2017 premiere.

Adapted from Liane Moriarty’s novel of the same name, Big Little Lies stars Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and Shailene Woodley as a group of mothers whose idyllic West Coast lives slowly begin to unravel—to the point of murder. Our first glimpse of the series kept details to a minimum, but the new footage showcased here gives us a better idea of what to expect: dark comedy, high stakes, and a few scene-stealing supporting performances from the likes of Laura Dern, Adam Scott, and Zoë Kravitz.

Big Little Lies premieres Feb. 19 on HBO.
