You know about Reese Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine, right? No? We need to talk.

Were you obsessed with Big Little Lies to the point that the only GIF you used was Renata screaming, “I will not not be rich”? What about The Morning Show? Admit it: The Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston team-up was the only reason you subscribed to Apple TV+. In fact, I’m betting you’re already wishing Hulu would drop all of Little Fires Everywhere this Wednesday, March 18, instead of just the first three episodes before shifting to a weekly schedule. We're all kind of on lockdown right now, after all.

Women are at the center, onscreen and off: Each Hello Sunshine project is written, produced, and starring women. Witherspoon serves as executive producer, of course.

“Women have been silenced from a lot of the traditional storytelling process,” CEO Sarah Harden has said. “We saw this connection between authentic, beautiful stories that show up on a screen where someone is going to take the time and say, ‘Wow, that story, it feels like they understand me, that this was made for me, it reflects my experience.’”

Oh, and they also have a book club. Hello Sunshine is kind of famous for adapting books to screen, so it’s worth checking out Reese’s Book Club. What the woman in charge is reading may just become your next big binge.

Unfortunately for all of us, there are currently no plans for a second season of Little Fires Everywhere or a third for Big Little Lies. At least we suddenly have time on our hands to get reading.
