Hulu has released the first look at its upcoming adaptation of Celeste Ng’s “Little Fires Everywhere,” starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington. And if looks could kill, then this photo would have the two actresses arrested for murdering us.
In the shot, we see Witherspoon and Washington dressed in-character as Elena Richardson and Mia Warren, respectively, two women who appear to be total opposites, apart from their smoldering poses and senses of style. But a picture is worth a thousand words, and we’re sure there is more to the story than what this first-look teases.
Based on Ng’s 2017 bestseller, “Little Fires Everywhere” follows the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and an enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. The story explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the ferocious pull of motherhood – and the danger in believing that following the rules can avert disaster.
“Little Fires Everywhere” stars Witherspoon, Washington, Rosemarie DeWitt (Linda McCullough), Joshua Jackson (Bill Richardson), Jade Pettyjohn (Lexie Richardson), Jordan Elsass (Trip Richardson), Gavin Lewis (Moody Richardson), Megan Stott (Izzy Richardson) and Lexi Underwood (Pearl Warren).
The series is produced by Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, Washington’s Simpson Street and ABC Signature Studios. Liz Tigelaar (“Life Unexpected,” “Casual”) is creator, showrunner and executive producer on the drama, with Witherspoon, Washington, Lauren Levy Neustadter (Hello Sunshine), Pilar Savone (Simpson Street) and Lynn Shelton also executive producing.
