Over the past few years, television has become a place for film actors to dive deeply into a character, and get some serious acclaim in the process. HBO's Big Little Lies is a prime example, as it featured a stellar cast of actresses including Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Kravitz, and Meryl Streep. Fans of the Emmy winning show have been hoping that Season 3 might be coming, and now Nicole Kidman has spoke about this possibility.
Big Little Lies was based of the novel of the same name, with author Liane Moriarty brought in to help shape the story as the movie extended off the page for Season 2. As such, HBO subscribers have been holding out hope for a third season of the acclaimed drama. Producer/star Nicole Kidman was recently asked about a possible Season 3, saying:
Reese [Witherspoon] and I talk or text once a week. She’s just moved back to Nashville and we’re really close. We all just want to work together again. I texted Zoë [Kravitz] and Laura [Dern] and they’re in. [Writers] David [E. Kelley] and Liane have a really good idea for it. Watch this space!
Do you hear that sound? It's Big Little Lies fans everywhere jumping for joy. Because while there's nothing confirmed about Big Littles Lies Season 3, it seems that the cast and crew are interested in returning to the series. We'll just have to see if the show gets the green light over at HBO, and if scheduling works out for the show's A+ cast.
Nicole Kidman's comments to Marie Claire is an exciting update from the creative minds behind Big Little Lies. While Season 2's story came to a satisfying end, there are certainly narrative threads and lingering questions surrounding the show's characters. And it's intriguing to hear that Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon are developing a future, and keeping the rest of the cast in the loop.

Given the massive success of Big Little Lies, it makes sense that the team might want to reunite for yet another season in Monterey. The HBO series was nominated for a whopping 16 Emmy nominations for Season 1, winning eight. The show was also massively popular for both of its seasons on the air, so there is clearly an audience available. As such, HBO might be convinced to bring Big Little Lies back for a third season.
Spoilers ahead for Big Little Lies Season 2.
