“Phenomenal” star-studded psychological drama lands new UK streaming home

In the United Kingdom, the critically acclaimed psychological drama “Little Fires Everywhere,” featuring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, has now moved to a different platform for streaming.

Earlier, you could stream the miniseries on Amazon Prime Video, but it was removed from there a month ago and is now available for streaming on Disney+.

The entire 2020 series consisting of eight episodes has been added to Channel 4’s streaming platform, making it easily accessible for UK viewers at no cost (with advertisements).

According to Celeste Ng’s 2017 novel with the same title, the series explores the lives of two suburban families that get turned upside down as hidden truths come to light.

As a devoted fan, I can tell you that this captivating series delves into the intricate connections between the seemingly flawless Richardson clan and the mysterious woman and her child who turn their world upside down.

Completing the exceptional ensemble of “Little Fires Everywhere” are actor Jesse Williams from “Grey’s Anatomy”, Joshua Jackson known for his role in “Dawson’s Creek”, Anika Noni Rose, who starred in “The Princess and the Frog”, as well as Lexi Underwood.

After its debut, the show received acclaim from critics, earning a critic rating of 79% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 80 reviews.

Viewers found themselves equally captivated by the show, as one reviewer on IMDb put it: “This show is nothing short of phenomenal! The characters are fascinating and the acting is superb. By the end, you’ll be left speechless, thinking ‘Wow!’ It’s incredibly thought-provoking.

Earlier, Washington mentioned their scenes with the suburban counterparts. She stated that on set, both her and Witherspoon would surprise each other by saying unexpected things that were not part of the script.

She explained, “A significant aspect of what you’re observing is the freedom to challenge each other in a safe environment.” So when you notice that transformation on Reese’s face, understand that I wasn’t speaking the words you hear on screen. Instead, I was offering suggestions to guide her into fully experiencing that moment.

Little Fires Everywhere is available to stream now on Channel 4 and Disney+ in the UK.

The first print issue of Digital Spy’s magazine, titled “British Comedy Legends,” is available for purchase! You can grab a copy from your local newsagent or online for only £3.99.
