If you can’t wait to get back to Monterey, you’re in good company. Here’s the most up-to-date information about the second installment of the Golden Globe and Emmy-winning series. Spoilers follow.

Who’s returning? Like a Monterey fundraising event, anyone who’s anyone will be there. Original cast members Reese Witherspoon (Madeline MacKenzie), Nicole Kidman (Celeste Wright), Shailene Woodley (Jane Chapman), Laura Dern (Renata Klein), Zoë Kravitz (Bonnie Carlson), Adam Scott (Ed Mackenzie), James Tupper (Nathan Carlson), Gordon Klein (Jeffrey Nordling), and Iain Armitage (Ziggy Chapman) are all set to reprise their roles.

Who’s new in town? Meryl Streep has joined the cast as Celeste’s mother-in-law, Mary Louise Wright. Additionally, director Andrea Arnold (American Honey) will take over behind the camera.

What will it be about? The darkly comedic drama will continue to explore the malignancy of lies, the durability of friendships, the fragility of marriage and, of course, the vicious ferocity of sound parenting. Multiple characters will be dealing with Perry’s death, and the prospect of moving past a life-altering event. In short: Things could get messy.

How many episodes will there be? Seven. Season 1 writer David E. Kelley will be tackling each script, based on a story by best-selling author Liane Moriarty.

What’s happening behind the scenes? Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman will return as executive producers for the series — Kidman through Blossom Films and Witherspoon through Hello Sunshine — along with Arnold, Kelley, and Season 1 director Jean-Marc Vallée.

Additional executive producers will be Per Saari, Bruna Papandrea, Nathan Ross and Gregg Fienberg.
