Synopsis of Little Fires Everywhere

In Shaker Heights, a suburb of Ohio in the late 1990s, the Richardson family appears to lead a perfect life. Elena, a journalist and mother of four, rents her second house to Mia Warren, an itinerant single mother who works as a waitress and paints on her own. Mia arrives with her teenage daughter, Pearl, a brilliant student and aspiring poet. Elena and Mia belong to very different worlds, but their fates begin to intertwine. Amid secrets and lies, the relationship between the two becomes a double-edged sword for both families. The miniseries, created by Liz Tigelaar, streams on Hulu, stars Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, who also produce it, and is based on the novel by Celeste Ng.

Trivia about Little Fires Everywhere

Reese Witherspoon picked the book for her book club in September 2017, and it soon became a bestseller. She had already read it in an advance copy before it was published.

Hulu says that in its first 60 days online, the series was the most-watched drama in the platform's history.

Principal photography took place in Los Angeles, California, from May 31 to October 23, 2019.

The score is by Mark Isham and Isabella Summers, the keyboardist for Florence + the Machine.

Hulu ordered the eight-episode production on March 12, 2018, after a bidding war among several networks and streaming services.

"Little Fires Everywhere" received five nominations at the 2020 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited Series, Outstanding Lead Actress for Kerry Washington, and Outstanding Directing for Lynn Shelton.

The series received a Television Critics Association nomination in 2020 for Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries or Dramatic Specials.

Liz Tigelaar said the story was conceived as a self-contained miniseries, though she felt a possible spin-off could explore other related stories.
