‘Big Little Lies’ Creator David E. Kelley Is “Hopeful” Season 3 Will “Happen”: “Everyone Is Very Committed to It”

David E. Kelley is holding onto hope that Big Little Lies will return for a third season. 

In 2019, we got to see the second season of the HBO show, two years following its initial premiere in the previous year. It’s now been five years since fresh episodes have aired, but the creator of the series expressed optimism to People, hinting that there might be a third season in the future.

He expressed his optimism on Monday during the Gotham TV Awards, stating that they’re eager for it to occur. They enjoyed working on the first two seasons immensely, and everyone wishes to do it once more… He’s hopeful it will transpire.

The television series Big Little Lies boasted a star-studded cast, including Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, Meryl Streep, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley. If a third season is produced, Kelley stated that currently no actors are contractually obligated, but they would require an impressive array of talented individuals and their representatives. However, everyone seems dedicated to the project.

Kelley commended Liane Moriarty, the writer behind the novel the TV series is adapted from, for keeping viewers engaged with the show. Moreover, he hinted that Moriarty has penned another book, suggesting a possible basis for a potential future season.

He also gave credit to Liane Moriarty for writing the initial book, and she’s written another book that will serve as the basis for season three. It’s quite an impressive lineup of creative minds,” he said.

By January 2024, it was reported to The Hollywood Reporter that stars and executive producers Witherspoon and Kidman were working on a concept for season three, which they were eager to present to the network. Approximately five months later, these actresses shared their aspirations for another season during an interview with Vanity Fair, hinting that a new episode was in the works.

Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley have been reaching out to me, asking if it’s true that we’re making another season of Big Little Lies. Reese Witherspoon confirmed it, and Nicole Kidman responded, ‘Well, it’s not just a rumor anymore! We’re working hard on it, and Liane Moriarty is already delivering the book for us to adapt.’
