Never before has there been such a superb ensemble cast as in Big Little Lies. The first season of Big Little Lies had us hooked to the screen. Season 2 of the program, which included people like Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep, was the last one ever filmed. More than two years have passed. Is there any chance of the Monterey Five returning for another season?
The Emmy-winning HBO series The Big Little Lies is based on Liane Moriarty’s best-selling novel of the same name. It centers on a murder in Monterey, California, and the falsehoods we make ourselves for survival that may have terrible consequences. The story revolves on five moms living in the community. The program received so much acclaim and so many awards nominations and wins that it was immediately renewed for a second season, even though it was only supposed to run for one. Fans have been waiting for a third season to air for almost two years after Season 2 ended.
Big Little Lies Season 3 Renewal Status
Season 3 of HBO’s Big Little Lies is eagerly awaited, but the show’s renewal now seems unlikely despite multiple previous indications. Fans still hoping for a third season of the drama should be aware that, after the passing of the show’s director, Jean-Marc Vallée’, the prospect of renewing the series for a third season is rapidly diminishing. According to series actor Zo Kravitz, the show would be unable to continue production without its cherished director.
After being asked by fans in November of 2016, Kravitz said, “I don’t think it is!” Third-season production was a hot topic of discussion. Sadly, our brilliant filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée died away earlier this year. It breaks your heart. I just can’t see myself surviving without him. He was the show’s true creative force. It’s too late now, sadly.
Despite HBO’s silence, some viewers are holding out hope that the program will be renewed. The cast of Big Little Lies, including Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, and Shailene Woodley, have expressed a strong desire to return for a third season. In addition, Season 2 of the show finally premiered in June of 2019 after several delays. Before that, HBO released a statement saying there wouldn’t be a second season of Big Little Lies because director Andrea Arnold had lost creative control of the season.

Big Little Lies Season 3 Plot
Season 2 of the critically acclaimed show ended on a rather dissatisfying note. Mary Louise and Celeste went to court to fight over who would get custody of Celeste’s twin sons, and we got to see the whole thing. And by choosing to represent herself, Celeste was taking a significant risk. But she triumphed; Celeste was able to successfully present the video proof of Mary Louise’s son and husband assaulting her.
It’s safe to assume that even though Celeste has custody, she still wants Mary Louise around. When will their love-hate relationship ever be resolved? Meanwhile, Madeline and Ed Mackenzie decided to patch things up and recommit to one another in marriage. Now that the Monterey Five have admitted their guilt in Perry’s killing, the issue becomes what charges they will face. Will Bonnie face significant time in prison? These are the Season 3 inquiries.
Big Little Lies Season 3 Release Date
