9. Shailene Woodley Wasn’t the Author’s First Choice for Jane

The novel on which Big Little Lies is based is set in a suburb of Sydney, Australia. As a result, the novel’s author, Liane Moriarty, seemed to have a local bent when it came to casting. That’s why she recommended the multi-talented Sydney native Rose Byrne (X-Men: Apocalypse, Get Him to the Greek) for the part of Jane, the newcomer to town. Ultimately, though, producers went a different direction.
