Season 3 of “Big Little Lies” is still in the works, but the holdout is Liane Moriarty. Reese Witherspoon revealed this during a recent interview with E! News.

‘We are waiting for Liane Moriarty. She’s going to hand something in soon. We’re back to the original author and we’re going back to the original characters,” Witherspoon said during a red carpet appearance. “It’s also exciting because I think the kids are probably a little older now.”

Witherspoon admitted that she doesn’t know if the children’s ages will affect this new installment. The star also confirmed that Nicole Kidman is still interested and involved.

In fact, it was Kidman who first revealed that a third season was possible. Last November, during a question-and-answer session at the CME Group Tour Championship, Kidman said, “I love ‘Big Little Lies’… We’re bringing you a third one, FYI.”

“Big Little Lies” first premiered on HBO in 2017. Based on the 2014 novel of the same name, it stars Witherspoon, Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoë Kravitz as five women living in the wealthy port of Monterey, live in California. ., all of whom become embroiled in a murder investigation. As the investigation continues, more and more of their secrets are revealed. That season also starred Alexander Skarsgård, Adam Scott, James Tupper and Jeffrey Nordling in supporting roles.

Although it was originally intended as a limited series and campaigned as one series during awards season, ‘Big Little Lies’ was given a season 2, which premiered in 2019. That episode added Meryl Streep as a member of the main cast. To date, the series has won eight Emmys. “Big Little Lies” is created and written by David E. Kelley, with Jean-Marc Vallée directing Season 1 and Andrea Arnold directing Season 2.
