All about Big Little Lies season 3
The highly anticipated third season of the hit TV series, which debuted in 2017 and was adapted from Liane Moriarty's book, is currently being developed. The upcoming season's plot has not yet been made public by HBO. However, in November 2023, followers of the series breathed a sigh of relief when Nicole Kidman appeared to confirm the development of a new installment during an undisclosed fan event. At the time, the actress said, “I loved Big little lies, because it sort of came along at a time in my life when I had my children, and I was thinking I was going to retire, and then this situation came along, where Reese Witherspoon and I were able to produce that show,” confirming the third part she said, “We will be bringing you a third one, just FYI.”

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar in December 2023, Woodley hinted that the upcoming third season might include the return of the actors who portrayed their children in the previous seasons. “These children [on the show] are not children anymore,” she added, “What is exciting about the possibility of a third season. What does life look like for those people who are not children anymore?"

A possible release in 2026 is something to look forward to.
