The show won four Golden Globes, including Kidman’s for best actress in a limited series and Laura Dern’s for her supporting role.

Dern said that her “acting dream has come true” when it was announced in January that Streep would join the cast, while Reese Witherspoon said she was “beyond thrilled”.

The first season, which aired in the UK on Sky Atlantic, showed the events leading up to a murder in Monterey, California.
