Kelley Gives Minor Update On ‘Big Little Lies’ Season 3"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tBig Little Lies<\/a> creator and Television Academy Hall of Famer David E. Kelley<\/a> gave a minor update regarding the status of the much-anticipated third season of the HBO<\/a> drama.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 11-time Emmy-winning multi-hyphenate told People<\/a> in a new interview that while he\u2019s \u201cnot allowed\u201d to reveal specific details, fans should expect a reunion featuring their favorite seaside community moms.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re getting the band back together, and it should be a good run again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tBack in September, Deadline exclusively revealed Season 3 would be written and executive produced by<\/a> Mr. & Mrs. Smith\u00a0co-creator, EP and showrunner\u00a0Francesca Sloane<\/a>. Her hiring fell under an exclusive two-year overall deal Sloane signed with the premium cable network. The move represented a huge step forward for the production, currently in development, after Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and HBO Max Content,\u00a0said in 2024<\/a>\u00a0that he and his team were waiting for author Liane Moriarty\u2019s sequel book before moving forward with the thriller\u2019s junior installment.<\/p>\n

\n\tMoriarty\u2019s follow-up, expected to hit bookshelves Aug. 25 of this year, will feature a time jump<\/a>, finding the women as moms of teenagers.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRight from the beginning, because of the show, there was talk about writing a sequel, but I was never interested right away because you put your characters through so much and it just didn\u2019t make sense to me to write something that followed on directly,\u201d Moriarty\u00a0told USA Today<\/a> of the 10-year jump.\u00a0\u201cA time jump always made sense to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBLL\u00a0stars Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Zo\u00eb Kravitz, Laura Dern and Shailene Woodley, alongside cast members Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd, Adam Scott, James Tupper, Jeffrey Nordling and Meryl Streep featuring in Season 2. The first season, about a quintet of Monterey, Calif. women embroiled in a homicide investigation, won half of its 16 Emmy nominations.<\/p>\n

\n\tOutside of BLL, Kelley created Margo\u2019s Got Money Troubles, an Apple TV dramedy starring\u00a0Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer\u00a0and\u00a0Nick Offerman, which is due to premiere April 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Big Little Lies creator and Television Academy Hall of Famer David E.
