While news of the coronavirus and quarantine may be getting you down, Hulu is here to the rescue.
In case you didn’t know, Little Fires Everywhere (which stars Kerry Washington, Reese Witherspoon, Lexi Underwood, Joshua Jackson and more) premieres tomorrow – Wednesday, March 18th with the first three episodes!
But wait…there’s more!
Additionally, Hulu is joining forces with iHeart Radio to offer fans an official companion podcast. Co-hosted by Little Fires Everywhere’s own Liz Tigelaar, and featuring special guests each week, the podcast will dive deeper into each episode.
For those who don’t know, Little Fires Everywhere is based on Celeste Ng’s 2017 bestseller, which I devoured in a day and everyone should read after watching the series.
The show follows the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and an enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. The story explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the ferocious pull of motherhood – and the danger in believing that following the rules can avert disaster.
Here is the official breakdown for the first three episodes:
