It’s Still a Big TBD Whether There Will Be Another ‘Big Little Lies’ Season

If you watched the Big Little Lies season 2 finale and felt majorly weird about that ending, you’re not alone. Where was the twist? Where were the turns?! IDK, but the women of Monterey seem like they’re not quite done.

Before you take to Twitter to vent your frustrations/anger/relief/whatever you’re feeling, you need to know exactly what’s going on with the third season, because obviously there are questions that need to be answered. Here’s everything we know so far.

Bad news first, a third season might not even happen.

Alright, so let’s get this out of the way right now. There may not be another season. In an interview with TVLine, the president of HBO, Casey Bloys, said that it’s unlikely they’ll make more episodes because the level of talent on the show is so high that it’s hard to get everybody back at the same time, due to crazy schedules.

“I love this group of people—I would do anything with them. The reality is, they are some of the busiest actresses working in Hollywood. I just think it’s not realistic.”

Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman, in particular, are so busy and it was a miracle they were even able to make a season 2.

But Nicole did say she was down.

In an interview this past week, she said, “Everyone says, ‘Are you going to do a season three?’ We’re like, ‘Just give us a sec.’ We’d love to [do another season] because we love being together, and it’s lovely spending time with your friends, and with such good material.”

And she’s said similar things before.

“I think we would love to do a season 3 because there are certainly ideas,” she said. “But we would not do it without all the same people involved…even the kids.”

Considering she’s one of the busiest cast members, that’s pretty crazy, but that second part about not doing it without everyone involved seems like a very big caveat. It seems like it’d be nearly impossible to get everyone together again.

And no one seems really *against* it.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, both Nicole and Reese talked about a potential season 3 and said they wanted to keep some of their thoughts on season 2 to themselves in case they do end up doing it.

“If there are conversations still to be had, I think that’s really what determines if we can tell a season 3. Is it as good as season 1 and 2? Does the audience still have questions? Do we have answers?” Reese said.

And Nicole said it’s kind of up to everyone who’s involved. “It’s a collaboration. We work as a group. We are incredibly tight; we talk to each other and we are on each other’s side. So we will decide as a group.”

A fan asked Shailene Woodley about it on Instagram, writing, “Season 3? Check Y or N” and she responded with “I hope so.”

However, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll happen.

Yeah. All that hesitation might mean the S2 finale was actually the end. In that same interview with Bloys, he said this season was a way for everyone to make the appropriate ending for the show.

“Season 2 was a chance for everyone involved to end in a way that feels satisfying,” he said.

Okay, so we’re just not gonna get any more Laura Dern GIFs?

I’m so sorry to have to tell you this, but probably not.

And no more Meryl sass?

Again, I’m so sorry, but no.

So we’re just supposed to go on living our lives as if having no more BLL is okay?

Yes.

Cosmopolitan will update this post if and when HBO gets wise enough to give us another season of Big Little Lies. In the meantime…
