Fans have been waiting for news on the potential season 3 of the hit HBO series Big Little Lies. They are wondering when it will finally come out.
For the past few years, there have been rumors that the next installment of Big Little Lies has been in the works. While there is no official greenlight yet, the cast and crew have expressed their interest in another round.
What is Big Little Lies Season 3 Going to Be About?
So far, there are no details yet regarding the plot that the potential season 3 of Big Little Lies will likely explore.
While talking with reporters recently, HBO president Casey Bloys shared that they are waiting for Liane Moriarty's new book to explore ideas for the new season.
"We’re waiting for the book. We need to read the book [first]," he said.
Moriarty has not revealed any details yet regarding the untitled new book that she is working on, but we will likely hear details about it soon.
When is Big Little Lies Season 3 Coming Out?
Considering that the potential season 3 of Big Little Lies is still being planned, HBO has not set any release window yet.
Bloys reiterated in his recent remarks that the cast and crew are busy with other projects so it is hard to tell at the moment when they can begin production.
"We’re a bit away from [starting production]. We’ve got Reese [Witherspoon] and Nicole leading that charge," he explained.
"There are a lot of schedules that have to be worked out, but there’s a lot of passion for the project, from everybody involved. And I miss the characters! It would be great to spend time with them again because they were all very close to me. So, yeah, we’re all crossing our fingers."
It might take a while before we'll hear an official update regarding the potential release of Big Little Lies season 3.
Who Will Return in Big Little Lies Season 3?
We can expect the core cast members of the series such as Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, and Zoe Kravitz to return in the show's potential third season. All of them have expressed their interest.
However, it is unknown whether Meryl Streep (who joined the cast in season 2) and Alexander Skarsgard (whose character has died) will also be invited back for the new season.
David E. Kelley, who created the series and wrote the first two seasons, is also expected to return as the showrunner/writer.
Unfortunately, Jean-Marc Vallée, who directed the first season and served as an executive producer of the series, passed away in December 2021 so we can expect HBO to find a new director who will take charge if they decide to move forward with the third season.
