Nicole Kidman has offered an update on the third season of Big Little Lies.Kidman confirmed in November that, to the surprise of fans, a third season was in the works.

Based on the novel by Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies was originally billed as a mini-series but its success led to more episodes being commissioned.During an interview for Vanity Fair alongside co-star Reece Witherspoon, they briefly touched on what could come next for the show, with Witherspoon admitting that Kidman “has already said too much” about what’s in store.“I got excited,” Kidman admitted about letting some Big Little Lies Season 3 news slip out prematurely. “We need to shut up.

There’s a whole thing about how you should never talk about something until you’ve done it because if you talk about doing it then it’s the dopamine hit of doing it and you feel like you’ve done it.

It’s a scientific study.“We’re moving fast and furious. Liane [Moriarty] is delivering the book. We’re in good shape,” she continued.Previously, hopes of a third season were dashed when Kravitz said she didn’t think a third season would arrive following the death of Jean-Marc Vallée.Vallée, who served as a director and executive producer on Big Little Lies, died aged 58 on December 25 2021 from “a fatal cardiac arrhythmia secondary to severe coronary atherosclerosis”, according to the final coroner’s report (via Deadline).Speaking in an interview with GQ, Kravitz responded to a fan who asked whether the HBO series would return for a third season.“I don’t think it is,” Kravitz replied. “We talked about doing season three a lot and unfortunately Jean-Marc Vallée, our incredible director, passed away this last year which was heartbreaking.
