Talking to Seth Meyers on Late Night, Reese confirmed the news that Meryl Streep will be joining the cast for the second season.
Reese recalled how she received the stunning news in an email.
“Well, she sent an email to Nicole and I, and it said, ‘OK, I read the part and I love it and I’m going to do it.’ And I like dropped the phone, like mic drop, but I phone dropped, “Reese said.
“And then I called Nicole and I was like, ‘Is this real life? Is this really happening?’ And then I got off the phone with Nicole and I, like, hugged myself gently for a minute and said, ‘This is really happening. You’re really working with Meryl Streep.'”
Meryl will be playing Mary Louise Wright, the mother of Alexander Skarsgard’s character Perry.
Season 2 was officially confirmed in December, and began filming on March 16th. There is not yet an official premiere date, but it is rumoured to be sometime in 2019.
