The popular HBO series “Big Little Lies” is back in the conversation. Fans have been eagerly waiting for its third season, and now creator David E. Kelley has shared a brief update.
In a recent interview, Kelley didn’t reveal many details, but he did confirm that the team is preparing to come back together. That pretty much confirms the show isn’t dead — just waiting on timing.
Looking at previous updates, Season 3 is still in the development stage. This time, the story will be written by Francesca Sloane, who previously worked on “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” That switch could shake things up creatively.
As for the storyline, it sounds like a major departure from the original. Reports suggest that the third season will be based on Liane Moriarty’s upcoming book and will feature a time jump of around 10 years. This means the women of Monterey will now be seen dealing with new challenges as mothers of teenagers.

That jump changes everything about the vibe. While earlier seasons focused on a murder mystery and complex relationships, the new season may explore teenage issues, family pressures, and the resurfacing of old secrets. This is one of the main reasons why fans are genuinely hyped.
On the cast front, it’s mostly good news. The main stars—Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley, and Zoë Kravitz—are expected to return. However, getting five A-listers in the same room is… a lot, which is also causing delays.
As for the release date, HBO has not made any official announcement yet. Realistically, Season 3 will take some time and could arrive around 2027.
Overall, “Big Little Lies” Season 3 is creeping along. With a refreshed storyline, a significant time jump, and the possible return of its original cast, the upcoming season could honestly top the first two seasons. Now, all eyes are on HBO for a major announcement regarding this long-overdue comeback.
