Excitement Builds as “Big Little Lies” Season 3 Gains Traction
Amidst the anticipation surrounding the upcoming season of “Big Little Lies,” Nicole Kidman shared insights during the New York premiere of her new series, “Expats.” Kidman, in an interview with Variety, confirmed the progress of the third season, stating, “We’re at work on it,” and revealing that she and Reese Witherspoon are in constant communication about the project. “We’re texting every day,” she added, emphasizing the existence of a timeline for the production.
When pressed for more details, Kidman playfully responded, “We can’t say anything more. We’ve got to start keeping our mouths shut… We’ve got to button it.” Witherspoon also confirmed their collaborative efforts on the new season, stating, “Nic and I have been working on it a lot” during the Golden Globes pre-show.
The buzz surrounding a potential “Big Little Lies” reunion intensified when HBO and Max content chairman/CEO Casey Bloys acknowledged hearing “a little bit about the idea.” Bloys revealed that Kidman and Witherspoon have been in contact with author Liane Moriarty, and he expects David E. Kelley to be involved in the project as well.
Meanwhile, Kidman is set to star in the six-part limited series “Expats” for Amazon Prime Video, premiering on January 26. Directed by Lulu Wang and based on Janice Y. K. Lee’s best-selling novel “The Expatriates,” the show explores the lives of women in Hong Kong in 2014, whose paths converge after a sudden family tragedy.
Expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to champion filmmakers, Kidman shared, “I’m so lucky to have the opportunities to be able to champion these sorts of filmmakers.” Wang praised Kidman’s dual role as a producer and actress, highlighting her ability to navigate both responsibilities seamlessly.
As fans eagerly await the return of “Big Little Lies,” the behind-the-scenes developments suggest a promising continuation of the beloved series, with Kidman and Witherspoon at the helm of its production.
