Where can I watch Big Little Lies online in the UK legally?

Big Little Lies is finally back on our screens this weekend for Season 2, with British fans asking themselves one thing: where can I watch Big Little Lies Season 2 online in the UK?
HBO’s miniseries, created by David E. Kelley and based on Liane Moriarty’s novel, proved a stellar hit in 2017, not least thanks to its star-studded cast that includes Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Zoe Kravitz, Nicole Kidman and Laura Dern. In fact, the hit was so stellar that HBO has upgraded it from a limited series to a full-on serial, with the second season now upon us – a decision helped no end by Season 1’s impressive awards haul, which included 4 Golden Globes, 2 Screen Actors Guild Awards and 8 Emmys.
A tale of three mothers whose apparently perfect lives unravel to the point of murder, the show exposed the dark secrets lying behind the picturesque domestic bliss of Monterey, California, where rumours, division and deceit lurk underneath doting mums, beautiful husbands and flawlessly kept homes. Season 2 continues those themes, exploring the malignancy of lies, the durability of friendships, the fragility of marriage and the vicious ferocity of sound parenting.
Kelley has once again written all seven episodes of the second season, partly based on a story by Moriarty, with Britain’s own Andrea Arnold at the helm for each chapter. Kelley will exec-produce, alongside Kidman and Per Saari through Blossom Films, Witherspoon through Hello Sunshine, Bruna Papandrea, Jean-Marc Vallée (director of Season 1), Nathan Ross, Gregg Fienberg and Arnold.
In front of the camera, meanwhile, it’s about to get even more star-studded, with Meryl Streep joining the cast as Mary Louise Wright, a woman concerned for the well-being of her grandchildren after Season 1’s events.
Season 2 premieres at 2am on Sky Atlantic on Monday 10th June, which means you can either see the simulcast live at the same time as its US broadcast, or watch it at any time after then on-demand – with the episode also repeated at 9pm for linear telly fans. Season 1 is also available on Sky Box Sets, so you can binge from the beginning.
