Meet the characters from Big Little Lies

Madeline Martha Mackenzie

Oh man, Madeline is seriously one of the most relatable characters in Big Little Lies! She’s like this whirlwind of energy, juggling her chaotic family life and all these crazy friendships. You just can’t help but love her for her fierce loyalty and her knack for being totally dramatic (I mean, how many times can one woman freak out over a school play?!). But then, she has these moments of vulnerability, like when she reflects on her past choices and relationships, and you’re just like, wow, she’s so human! It’s like you’re rooting for her to get her act together while also loving her messy side — classic Madeline!

Celeste Wright

Celeste is such a powerhouse wrapped in a delicate exterior, you know? Like, you can’t help but feel for her because she’s got this intense backstory with so much depth. She’s a total warrior dealing with her complicated marriage and the trauma that comes with it. And oh man, her evolution throughout the series is just epic! She goes from being this almost fragile figure to someone who truly stands up for herself, and it’s like, YES, queen! Plus, her relationship with her kids is just so touching — she’s fiercely protective and you can totally see how much love she has for them.

Jane Chapman

Jane is like the embodiment of a quiet storm, right? She starts off all shy and unsure, but she’s got this deep strength that just bubbles beneath the surface. That whole thing with Ziggy and the allegations — OMG, my heart was breaking for her! She’s so relatable because she’s just trying to navigate life while dealing with past trauma, and you can’t help but root for her as she grows throughout the series. And I love that she’s a bit of a mystery too; you never quite know what she’s thinking, and that makes her super intriguing!

Bonnie Carlson

Okay, can we talk about how fascinating Bonnie is?! She’s like this chill zen vibe, always calm and collected, but there’s a fire in her that you don’t see coming! She’s the type who seems all laid-back but then BAM — she’s suddenly the most reliable friend in a crisis. And her backstory is just so layered with complexity, especially her relationship with her parents and how it shapes her decisions. Plus, she’s literally the glue that holds everyone together, yet she has her own struggles too. It’s like, she’s so grounded, but you can feel that little edge of something deeper beneath her surface!

Renata Klein

Renata is an absolute force of nature! Like, WOW, she’s got that fierce businesswoman vibe down to a T, and you just can’t ignore her presence. But, oh man, she’s also fiercely protective of her daughter, and that really adds a layer of depth to her character. She’s super ambitious, and sometimes she can be a bit much (let’s be real, the “I will not be ignored!” energy is real), but you can’t help but admire her drive. And those moments where she just loses it are so entertaining — it’s like watching a tornado in a tailored suit! You love to hate her, but you also kinda want to be her best friend!

Ziggy Chapman

Aww, Ziggy! He’s such a sweet kid caught up in a whirlwind of adult drama! Like, can you imagine being a kid with all that pressure? He’s innocent and just trying to figure everything out, and it’s so heartbreaking to see him navigate the chaos around him. Plus, he’s got that adorable mischievous streak, and he just wants to be loved and accepted. You really feel for him, especially when people misjudge him based on rumors. He’s like this little light in the darkness, and you just wanna protect him from all the adult nonsense!
