‘Big Little Lies’ Season 3 in the Works, Confirms Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon confirmed during the red carpet for the Golden Globes that she and Nicole Kidman are currently working on the third season of HBO’s Big Little Lies.
She told Variety, “We’re working on it. Nic and I have been working on it a lot.” Kidman herself said during a Q&A at the CME Group Tour Championship back in November: “We will be bringing you a third one, just FYI.”
David E. Kelly created and wrote the series, which based its first season on the 2014 novel by Liane Moriarty. Between its two seasons, the series won eight Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited Series for its first season. Season 2, which was not originally planned, brought in Meryl Streep as Celeste’s (Nicole Kidman) mother-in-law. Jean-Marc Vallée, who directed all seven episodes of season 1, passed away in 2021. Andrea Arnold directed all of season 2.
The cast of Big Little Lies included Witherspoon, Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, Adam Scott, and Alexander Skarsgård. Most of them would be expected to return, but they are currently all so busy it’s impossible to figure out when they would all be available — the same headache that the network is facing, obviously.

Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
