Sex, murder and mystery seem to be the premise of HBO’s trailer for its upcoming mini-series “Big Little Lies.” The network released the trailer for its new seven-episode show, and the minute-long promo does a great job at not revealing too much information but also keeping viewers intrigued.

In the trailer, viewers get a glimpse at Shailene Woodley, Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman’s characters. Witherspoon is seen looking out at the ocean next to a little girl who wants to know what she sees when she looks at the beautiful blue water. Kidman seems to be living a life of glitz and glam, and Woodley appears to be dealing with some turmoil.

Also in the trailer is a mysterious gunshot. The women cover their mouths with looks of horror on their faces, hinting that someone may end up dead.

Even though HBO hasn’t released too much information about “Big Little Lies,” the network described the series as a “dark comedy,” E! Online reported. The limited series will also be based off the 2014 book of the same name by Liane Moriarty.
