Fans of Big Little Lies have reason to celebrate! Reese Witherspoon recently offered an exciting update on the highly anticipated third season of the hit HBO series. During an interview with E! News on the red carpet of her media company Hello Sunshine’s second annual Shine Away conference, Witherspoon revealed that Big Little Lies is returning to its roots—thanks to the involvement of the original author, Liane Moriarty.
“We’ve been waiting for Liane Moriarty to deliver new material,” said Witherspoon, who stars in and produces the show alongside Nicole Kidman. “She’s working on something, and we’re expecting it soon. It’s so exciting because we’re going back to the original characters and stories.”
Although Witherspoon, 48, hasn’t yet read the upcoming script, she hinted at some possible changes. “I think the kids are probably older now, which might add another interesting layer. But honestly, I don’t know yet.”
What We Know So Far About Big Little Lies Season 3
Nicole Kidman, 57, has also been vocal about her enthusiasm for the third season. In a recent interview with Variety, Kidman shared that she and Witherspoon have been “texting every day” about the project. “There’s a timeline, and we’re doing it,” Kidman confirmed. Both actresses are heavily involved in the show’s production and have been instrumental in bringing the cast back together for another round.
While Kidman is eager to discuss details, she has expressed the importance of keeping things under wraps. “We need to be careful. You shouldn’t talk too much about something before it’s done. Talking about it gives you the dopamine hit like you’ve already achieved it,” she told Vanity Fair in June.
The first season of Big Little Lies, which aired in 2017, focused on a group of women entangled in a mysterious murder investigation. Witherspoon and Kidman starred alongside Shailene Woodley, Zoë Kravitz, and Laura Dern. Although the show was initially conceived as a one-season limited series, its massive success led to a second season in 2019, with the addition of Meryl Streep to the cast.
The upcoming season will likely explore the characters’ lives as they continue to navigate the fallout from previous events. Fans are eager to see what Moriarty and the talented team behind Big Little Lies have in store for the third season.
The Cast’s Excitement for Season 3
Witherspoon and Kidman aren’t the only ones excited about the return. Laura Dern and Shailene Woodley have also expressed their hopes for another season. “We love each other so much, and we have the best time together,” Dern told Entertainment Weekly earlier this year. “We love these characters, and getting the chance to revisit them would be amazing.”
As Witherspoon continues to make waves with her media company Hello Sunshine and upcoming projects like the Legally Blonde prequel on Amazon, her commitment to Big Little Lies remains strong. The return of the series promises to deliver the same suspense, drama, and captivating storytelling that earned the show an Emmy for best limited series.
When Will Big Little Lies Season 3 Premiere?
Though no official premiere date has been set, fans can take comfort in knowing that Season 3 is in the works and gaining momentum. With Moriarty crafting new material, and the cast more excited than ever to reunite, it’s only a matter of time before we get to dive back into the intricate world of Monterey.
Stay tuned for more updates as Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and the rest of the Big Little Lies team prepare for what could be the most thrilling season yet!
