Hulu’s adaptation of Celeste Ng’s Little Fires Everywhere arrives next month, and the first trailer teases a series full of dark secrets.

Between Big Little Lies and Little Fires Everywhere, it seems every television adaptation Reese Witherspoon stars in is full of secrets and drama. At least, that’s what we can surmise after watching the first trailer for Hulu’s Little Fires Everywhere, which arrives on the streaming platform next month. Based on Celese Ng’s novel of the same name, the series features a mother and daughter moving into a home owned by a privileged, wealthy family — one that seems to have more going on than first meets the eye.

The family in question has matriarch Elena Richardson (Witherspoon) at its head, and though the trailer opens with her insisting she has the best intentions, it quickly becomes clear that there’s something darker lurking between her smiles and goodwill.

Watch the official trailer for Little Fires Everywhere here:

That darkness inside of Elena is something the series’ other main character, Mia Warren, will need to contend with. From the looks of it, the two quickly go from being on good terms to being at war with one another. Not only does Mia seem to be hiding things from her landlord and her own daughter, but Elena appears determined to uncover her secrets — and potentially expose them.

Given the emphasis on motherly love in the middle of the trailer, it’s possible Mia’s secrets have something to do with her family. At the very least, they’re sure to affect her daughter in some way if they come out. (There’s a reason the two move every few months.)

There’s also the question of the fire the trailer opens with, one that looks like an act of revenge against Elena and her family. Is this the result of this feud between two mothers, or is something more sinister at play here?

We’ll learn more about what’s happening when Little Fires Everywhere arrives next month, but it seems viewers are in for plenty of drama from the moment they start streaming. (In the meantime, who else will be picking up the book for some answers?)
