Reese also recently starred in Big Little Lies, a miniseries based on Lianne Moriarty's bestselling novel, and has received an Emmy nomination for her role. Speaking about the filming process in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, she said: "On our show, we were shooting the finale and we were on our seventh day of night shoots, and I was losing my mind. And they kept saying, 'OK, we're going to do the scene where you have the breakdown and you tell Shailene that you've cheated on your husband.' And then they'd be like, 'We ran out of time. We're going to do it tomorrow.'"

She continued: "By day seven of getting prepared and not ever using it, we came in and, out of nowhere, we were told we had to do the title sequence, and I just couldn't do it. I started to scream, and I've never screamed like this. Like, howling… And Nicole [Kidman] goes, 'Jean-Marc, she's ready to shoot right now, right now. We need to get Jean-Marc.'"
