Prepare your “Cold Little Heart” to return to Monterey, California. Reese Witherspoon has confirmed that Season 3 of the HBO series “Big Little Lies” is in the works.
On the carpet for the 81st Golden Globes, Witherspoon said to Variety, “We are working on it. Nic and I have been working on it a lot.”
Co-star Nicole Kidman has also teased the return of the acclaimed drama series written and created by David E. Kelly. “We will be bringing you a third one, just FYI,” she said while participating in a Q & A at the CME Group Tour Championship.
HBO declined to comment.
Based on the 2014 Liane Moriarty book of the same name, Season 1 of “Big Little Lies” debuted in 2017 and follows a group of women in Monterey, CA — played by Witherspoon, Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoë Kravitz — who find themselves caught up in a homicide investigation. Season 2, which premiered in February 2019, introduced Meryl Streep to the main cast as the mother-in-law of Kidman’s character Celeste.
Witherspoon is currently nominated for a Golden Globe for best performance by an actress in a television series – drama for her starring role in the Apple TV+ series “The Morning Show,” in which she plays the host of a broadcast news show. She previously won a Golden Globe in 2018 for best television limited series, anthology series, or motion picture made for television for “Big Little Lies,” on which she also serves as producer.
Witherspoon arrived at the Golden Globes alongside her 20-year-old son Deacon Phillippe. This marks her seventh Golden Globe nomination.
