'Big Little Lies' back with original author for Season 3, Reese Witherspoon says
‘Big Little Lies’ Season 3: Reese Witherspoon Confirms Original Author Involvement
Exciting news for fans of Big Little Lies! Reese Witherspoon recently provided an update on the much-anticipated third season, sharing that the original author, Liane Moriarty, is once again at the helm of the storyline. Speaking at her Hello Sunshine media company’s Shine Away conference, Witherspoon hinted that new material from Moriarty is expected soon.
"We’re waiting for Liane Moriarty to submit something soon," Witherspoon, 48, told E! News on the red carpet. "We’re going back to the original characters, and it’s exciting because the kids are older now, which could bring a new dynamic to the story."
Fans of the Emmy-winning HBO series have eagerly awaited the next chapter. Both Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman, her co-star and fellow producer, have confirmed that the third season is in development. Kidman, 57, also shared updates earlier this year, noting that she and Witherspoon are "texting every day" about the upcoming season.
What We Know About 'Big Little Lies' Season 3
Although details about the plot are still under wraps, the return of Moriarty promises a continuation of the gripping storytelling that made the first two seasons a hit. The show, which debuted in 2017, originally focused on a murder mystery involving a group of women, played by Witherspoon, Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Zoë Kravitz, and Laura Dern. Despite being intended as a limited series, the success of the first season led to a second season in 2019, featuring Meryl Streep.
Both stars have expressed their excitement about the project. Witherspoon teased that the aging of the characters’ children might add a fresh twist to the story, while Kidman confirmed during a Vanity Fair interview in June that things are moving "fast and furious." However, she humorously noted that she needs to curb her enthusiasm about sharing details too soon.
A Fan-Favorite Cast Set to Return
The third season will bring back the beloved ensemble cast, with Kidman and Witherspoon reprising their roles as both actors and producers. Laura Dern and Shailene Woodley have also expressed their hopes for the new season, with Dern telling Entertainment Weekly earlier this year that the cast shares a deep bond and would love to reunite.
As fans eagerly await more news, the return of Big Little Lies is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated TV events. Keep an eye out for updates on this highly anticipated continuation of the beloved drama series.
