Big Little Lies: Reese Witherspoon Confirms Season 3 (Golden Globes)

During the Golden Globes pre-show, Big Little Lies star/EP Reese Witherspoon confirmed that work was underway on a third season.


Well, it looks like the momentum behind a third season of HBO & David E. Kelley's Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz & Shailene Woodley-starring Big Little Lies is starting to pick up big time. Back in November, Kidman dropped a ten-ton jaw-dropper that a "third one' was on the way. Now, speaking with Variety on the red carpet during the Golden Globes pre-show, Witherspoon confirmed it was happening – and that she & Kidman had been "working on it a lot."

Here's a look at the Official Golden Globes Pre-Show presented by Variety – followed by a look back at Kidman's previous confirmation that a third season was in play.

"I loved 'Big Little Lies' because it sort of came along at a time in my life when I had my children, and I was thinking I was going to retire, and then this situation came along, where Reese Witherspoon and I were able to produce that show. And then all of you watched it and made it a massive success," Kidman shared during a Q&A at a special event back in November, explaining why the HBO series is so important to her. And just to keep the speculation fires burning, Kidman added, "And we will be bringing you a third one, just FYI." Here's a look at the clip when Kidman shares the news (and thanks to Nicole Kidman News for posting the clip):

And here's a look back at the trailer & overview for the second season of HBO's Big Little Lies:

Created by David E. Kelley, teleplays by David E. Kelley and story by Kelley and Liane Moriarty, and based on the novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Liane Moriarty, BIG LITTLE LIES returns for its seven-episode second season in June, exclusively on HBO. The new season explores the malignancy of lies, the durability of friendships, the fragility of marriage and, of course, the vicious ferocity of sound parenting. Relationships will fray, loyalties will erode…and the potential for emotional and bodily injury shall loom.

Additional cast members include Robin Weigert (Dr. Amanda Reisman), Crystal Fox (Elizabeth Howard), Sarah Sokolovic (Tori Bachman), P.J. Byrne (Principal Nippal), Merrin Dungey (Detective Adrienne Quilnlan), and Mo McRae (Michael Perkins). Directed and executive produced by Andrea Arnold (Red Road, Fish Tank, Wuthering Heights, American Honey, Wasp), HBO's Big Little Lies features teleplays by Kelley, based on the universe created by bestselling author Liane Moriarty.
