Now that the third season of Big Little Lies has been confirmed, fans of the dramatic show are eager for details. However, as of October 2024, the only confirmed information is that the show will return to Max in 2025.

Kidman mentioned that her daughter asked her about the characters’ futures, sparking further interest in continuing the story. Witherspoon has confirmed that they are waiting for new material.
