Nicole Kidmanis (kind of) revealing some big secrets about the upcoming season ofBig Little Lies.
As a producer of the show, the actress, 51, has more authority than other members of the cast to reveal the finer details of the new season, butEllen DeGeneresstill pushed her to the limits on Tuesday’s episode of her talk show.
To start, the Oscar winner shared thatMeryl Streep, who plays Kidman’s character’s mother-in-law in the second season of the acclaimed HBO drama, took the part without reading the script.

“They were in as extras inBig Little Lies, which I’ve never told anyone, and I’m not being a big mouth,” Kidman joked. Kidman shares two daughters with husbandKeith Urban—Faith Margaret, 7, andSunday Rose, 10.
TheDestroyerstarthen noted that Faith and Sunday desperately want to appear onEllen, but when the host said they’re more than welcome, Kidman exclaimed, “They’re not allowed!”
“Why not?” the comedian retorted.
“Because!” the actress squealed in response.
DeGeneres then convinced Kidman to tell a story abouta scary tarantula encounter her family had over the summer at their home in Los Angeles.
“My kids saw it and screamed, and I went out. Keith was giggling so I’m like, ‘Okay, I have to show that we’re strong,’ ” Kidman recounted. “It was so strong, that spider. I couldn’t believe the power. When I first put the glass over it, it tipped it over, and then I put it over again and caught it. But we did release it. We hiked down, the girls and I, and we released it into the brush. Well, we actually kind of threw the jar and ran. I was scared that it was going to be angry and might chase us. We gently threw it, and the kids were like, ‘What about the jar?!’ and I said, ‘Forget the jar! Don’t worry!’ ”

She continued, “But it’s also interesting for them, I think, because they see me creating characters and, you know, they have vivid imaginations themselves and they construct stories, and so that’s all they know.”
