Chronology: 2019
In “Big Little Lies” as Nicole Kidman’s scheming mother-in-law. Alongside Gary Oldman and Antonio Banders, Streep promotes Steven Soderbergh’s “The Laundromat” at the Toronto Film Festival. On the set of “Little Women” with director Greta Gerwig and co-star Florence Pugh.
Meryl Streep joined Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley and Laura Dern for HBO’s second season of the outrageously successful “Big Little Lies”. While the second season was not as much-loved as its predecessor (mostly for the fact that the initial storyline was completely finished), the show still entertained with Streep’s addition, playing the suspicious mother to Alexander Skarsgård’s wife-beating character, who comes to Monterey demanding answers to what really happened to her son. The performance brought Streep another Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Emmy nominations. In October 2019, she made a proper Netflix debut starring in Steven Soderbergh’s wildly odd “The Laundromat” as a widow trying to unlock the myriads of backdoors in the finance industry that keep her from getting the insurance money she and her husband have paid all those years. On Christmas, she was seen on the big screen as Aunt March in Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women”, which received an Academy Award nomintion for Best Picture.
