Reese Witherspoon Spills Major Update on ‘Big Little Lies’ Season 3

Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman are still "waiting" for an update on Big Little Lies.

The 48-year-old actress and her 57-year-old co-star are both excited to be returning for a third season of the hit Max show, which originally ran from 2017 to 2019, but the novel's author, Liane Moriarty, has been working on some new material.

"Nicole and I have been waiting. We're in waiting for Liane Moriarty. She's going to be turning in something very soon. We're back to the original author and we're going to go back to the original characters," Witherspoon told E! News.

While the Legally Blonde actress doesn't have much to share, she's eagerly awaiting to find out how the characters have developed.

"It's exciting, too, because I think the kids are probably a little bit older now. So that might add another element. I don't know yet, I haven't read it yet," she said.

Kidman confirmed plans for a new season in November 2023, and over the summer she admitted she might have spilled the beans too soon.

"I got excited. But we are now! We're moving fast and furious, and Liane is delivering the book. Yeah, and we're in good shape," Kidman told Vanity Fair.

Meanwhile, the Perfect Couple, who also starred alongside Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz and Shailene Woodley in the hit show, insisted it's best to keep details about the new season under wraps until there has been actual progress.

"We need to shut up. There's this whole thing that you should never talk about something until you've done it. If you talk about doing it, it's the dopamine hit of doing it. You feel like you've done it. It's a scientific study," she added.
