Nicole Kidman recently discussed the potential for a third season of the hit series Big Little Lies in an interview with Elle. Kidman, along with co-star Reese Witherspoon, who is also an executive producer on the show, have been contemplating the direction they want the storyline to take in a potential new season. Kidman emphasized the importance of taking time away from the show to allow for the characters and their narratives to evolve naturally.
The actress highlighted the depth and richness of the storylines in the upcoming chapter of the women's lives and their children's lives, noting the fascinating aspect of children growing up. Sources close to the series revealed that Witherspoon and Kidman have an exciting idea for season three and are working on a formal pitch for HBO, although no deals have been finalized yet.
One of the challenges for a new season lies in the busy schedules of the cast members, with Witherspoon starring in The Morning Show and Kidman working on multiple projects, including a second season of Nine Perfect Strangers. Despite this, Kidman mentioned that the strong real-life friendships among the cast make coordinating filming schedules easier.
Kidman shared that her daughter played a role in sparking the idea for another season, expressing her daughter's enthusiasm for the characters and their evolving storylines. The show also features Shailene Woodley, Zoë Kravitz, Laura Dern, Adam Scott, and Kathryn Newton, with Meryl Streep joining the cast in season two.
Additionally, Kidman reflected on her viral AMC Theatres commercial during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, which led to her becoming a meme. The pinstriped suit she wore in the commercial was auctioned off for over $9,000 by Sotheby's. Kidman expressed her delight in seeing various spoofs of the commercial, particularly by drag queens, and mentioned her dream of performing it on stage with a drag queen in the future.
