Reese Witherspoon Says ‘Big Little Lies’ Author Liane Moriarty ‘Is Submitting Something Very Soon’

Reese Witherspoon revealed where things stand with season three of ‘Big Little Lies.’

At her Shine Away event in Los Angeles last weekend, Witherspoon said she and Nicole Kidman will collaborate with “Big Little Lies” author Liane Moriarty on the next season of the hit show.

“Nicole and I have been waiting for Liane Moriarty,” Witherspoon told E! News. “She’s going to hand something in soon.”

“We’re back to the original author and we’re going back to the original characters and it’s exciting too because I think the kids are probably a little bit older now,” she added. “So that can add another element.”

“Good Morning America” has reached out to Moriarty.

Earlier this year, Witherspoon, who plays Madeline Mackenzie on the show and is an executive producer, confirmed that a third season is in the works.

“We’re working on it,” she told Variety at the 2024 Golden Globes. “Nic and I have been working on it.”

Kidman, who is also an executive producer and earned an Emmy for her performance as Celeste Wright on the series, shared in January that she and Witherspoon are working on the new season, but couldn’t reveal much.

“That’s all we can say,” she said. “We need to start shutting up… we need to button up.”

Shailene Woodley, Alexander Skarsgård, Zoë Kravitz, Adam Scott, Laura Dern and Kathryn Newton also starred in seasons one and two of the series.

Meryl Streep played the role of Perry’s mother (Skarsgård) in season two.

The show follows a group of women in Monterey, California, who become entangled in a murder investigation.
