HBO’s Casey Bloys on ‘Big Little Lies’ Season 3, How Pedro Pascal’s Injury Impacts ‘The Last of Us’ and Whether ‘Euphoria’ Will End Next Season
variety.comMichael Schneider Variety Editor at Large As the possibility of a third season of “Big Little Lies” picks up steam, HBO and Max content chairman/CEO Casey Bloys is ready for it.
Bloys confirmed to Variety that he has heard “a little bit about the idea. I think it could be great.” “Big Little Lies” stars and executive producers Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman have teased the prospect of a new season of the series — which last aired in 2019 — while speaking to reporters in recent weeks.
At the 81st Golden Globes this month, Witherspoon told Variety’s Marc Malkin that “We are working on it. Nic and I have been working on it a lot.” Bloys said that he believes that Witherspoon and Kidman have been in touch with “Big Little Lies” author Liane Moriarty about ways to expand the storyline and characters.
Bloys also said he expects that David E. Kelley, who adapted Moriarty’s 2014 novel into the 2017 series and 2019 sequel season, would be involved as well. “Big Little Lies” follows a group of women in Monterey, Calif. — played by Witherspoon, Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoë Kravitz — who are caught up in a homicide investigation.
