Reese Witherspoon says 'Big Little Lies' author Liane Moriarty is 'dropping something very soon'

Reese Witherspoon revealed the status of Big Little Lies season 3.

Over the weekend, Witherspoon said at her “Shine Away” event in Los Angeles that she and Nicole Kidman will be collaborating with “Big Little Lies” author Liane Moriarty on the next season of the hit series.

“Nicole and I have been waiting for Liane Moriarty,” Witherspoon told E! News. “She’ll be giving something away very soon.”

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

“Good Morning America” reached out to Moriarty.

Earlier this year, Witherspoon, who plays Madeline Mackenzie on the series and is an executive producer, confirmed that a third season was 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 also serves as an executive producer and won an Emmy for her performance as Celeste Wright on the series, shared in January that she and Witherspoon were working on the new season, but couldn't reveal much.

Nicole Kidman gives an update on the third season of “Big Little Lies.”

“We can’t say anything more,” she said. “We need to start shutting up… we need to button it 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 Perry's (Skarsgård) mother in the second season.

The series follows a group of women in Monterey, California who become embroiled in a murder investigation.
