The acclaimed HBO series “Big Little Lies” apparently continues. Series star Nicole Kidman has now revealed this.
The drama series “Big Little Lies” became a huge success for the US cable channel HBO in 2017. There were a total of eight Emmy Awards for the premiere of the show with the stars Nicole Kidman (56), Reese Witherspoon (47), Shailene Woodley (32), Laura Dern (56) and Zoë Kravitz (34). A second season, for which three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep (74) joined the cast, was released in 2019, but since then things have become quiet about the popular series, which is set in the picturesque Californian city of Monterey.
Did Nicole Kidman Just Announce Season 3?
Series star Nicole Kidman has According to TVLine But now, during a public question and answer session last Friday in Naples, Florida, a third season of “Big Little Lies” was apparently confirmed. Asked about her favorite past roles, Kidman said, “I loved ‘Big Little Lies,'” then added, somewhat surprisingly and abruptly, “We’re bringing you a third [Staffel]Just for your information.”
Workload of the stars and death of the director
HBO did not comment on Kidman’s comments when contacted by TVLine. These do not yet represent an official extension. However, those involved in front of and behind the scenes have basically agreed for years that they would like to continue the series around the five brilliant leading actresses.
In 2019, HBO President Casey Bloys spoke out in favor of a sequel, as People reports. Series creator David E. Kelley (67) also commented accordingly in 2021, but pointed out to “TVLine” to the “logistical” problem that everyone involved was “so busy”.
The sudden death at the age of just 58 of executive producer and season one director Jean-Marc Vallée (1963-2021) presented another hurdle for a third season of the series in 2021. Series star Zoë Kravitz therefore explained 2022 to “GQ”: “We’ve talked a lot about doing a third season. Unfortunately, Jean-Marc Vallée, our incredible director, passed away last year, which is very sad. And I can’t imagine continuing without him. He really was the visionary this show. So unfortunately it’s over.”
