Reese Witherspoon wait patiently to return to Monterey.

Almost a year after Costar Nicole Kidman revealed that season three of Big little lies was in the making, the Legally blonde alum provided a brief update on the show’s progress, including: some new material from the author of the novel Leanne Moriarty.

“Nicole and I waited,” Reese said E! News at the Hello sunshine red carpet October 5. “We’re waiting for Leanne Moriarty. She’s going to turn something in soon. We’re back to the original author and we’re going back to the original characters.”

“It’s exciting too because I think the kids are probably a little older now,” she continued. ‘So that might add another element. I don’t know yet, I haven’t read it yet.’ (For more on Reese, tune in E! News tonight, October 7 at 11 p.m.)

And while the ball seems to be slowly but surely moving, Nicole admitted that she may have shared the news a little too early when announcing the next season. last November during a Ladies Professional Golf Association Q&A event during the CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Florida.
