Little Fires Everywhere is based on Celeste Ng’s bestseller which explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the pull of motherhood and the danger in believing that following the rules can prevent disaster.

A new trailer has been released for Little Fires Everywhere, which is set to release March 18, 2020.

Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon for Hulu new show Little Fires Everywhere might be the best duo in television this year. The two iconic actresses characters will bump heads and that is the drama we need in 2020.

During the Television Critics Association (TCA) Presentation, Witherspoon expressed, ““we had been looking for a project to do with Kerry for a long time.” She continued by saying, “when I read the book, it just had so many themes that were very complex and I knew whoever was going to be my partner… who was going to show up to do the work because it’s a lot of work. The first person who I thought was perfect was Kerry. She deepens the conversation and I knew I wanted to go on this journey with her. It just made sense that we were representing completely different kinds of women and different kinds of mothering but both with dignity and respect.”

Kerry added by saying that, “adding the layer of race to that really enriches the storytelling.” “The book also deals with race and does a great job of stepping away from the binary idea of race.”

The limited series’ cast also includes Jesse Williams, Anika Noni Rose, Lexi Underwood, among others.
