Big Little Lies Season 2: A Key Character Returns!

at .

Another key character is returning to HBO's Big Little Lies. 

According to TV Line, Adam Scott has closed a deal to return for the sophomore run of the hit series as a regular. 

We Are OK - Big Little Lies Season 1 Episode 2

His return was up in the air because he is currently a series regular on Fox's Ghosted, but production of that show is expected to conclude before Big Little Lies resumes production. 

Scott plays Ed aka Madeline's husband on Big Little Lies. His character never got much time to shine on Big Little Lies Season 1, but given the fact that Madeline was stepping out on him, we're sure there will be fireworks to come.
