In the finale, the show's abusive villain, Alexander Skarsgard's character Perry Wright, was killed, so the scene captured likely relates to that.

The cast of the HBO series has been teasing the new season for months.

Witherspoon, who plays Madeline Mackenzie on show, shared a photo in March with co-star Laura Dern, who plays Renata Klein.

Witherspoon said during an appearance on \"Good Morning America\" in September that the cast is \"so excited\" to do another season.

\"I think you can tell when you watch the show that we just deeply love each other and we were having a lot of fun,\" she said.

HBO shared a a first look at its shows coming in 2019, and loyal fans of the show were quick to spot another Streep cameo.
