Returning to Monterey is something that Reese Witherspoon is really anticipating. Season three of Big Little Lies is still in production, and the star has provided a quick update on the show's development, which contains fresh material from the novel's author, Leanne Moriarty, nearly a year after co-star Nicole Kidman announced it.

Big Little Lies Season 3 still in development

Reese told E! News that Nicole and she have been waiting while walking the red carpet for Hello Sunshine on October 5. Leanne Moriarty is in the waiting room. She has an urgent task to complete. The original author and the original characters will be revisited.

Witherspoon continued by saying that it's exciting, too, because she thinks the kids are probably a little bit older now. Thereby, it could introduce a new component. Since the actor hasn't read it, she is unsure at this time.

Slow but steady progress, Nicole Kidman's early reveal

The ball is travelling slowly but steadily, but Nicole did confess that she may have revealed the next season a bit too early at a Ladies Professional Golf Association Q&A session in Naples, Fla. in November, during the CME Group Tour Championship.

The star became excited, and Reese stated in a June interview with Vanity Fair, "Look at them now." Liane is delivering the book at a breakneck pace. Indeed, and they are doing well. Along with Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley, she also acknowledged that, for the time being, it's preferable to keep the details of the upcoming series a secret.

She went on to say that they should be quiet. The golden rule states that one shouldn't brag about an action until they have really taken it. The dopamine rush from doing it is like talking about it. It feels like they have accomplished something, and this is an academic investigation.

Laura Dern looks forward to reuniting in Monterey

At the same time, Laura can't wait to be in Monterey by herself with her friends. She replied in a December interview with Today.com that they are best friends in art and in life. They would all have a more enjoyable time if that were to happen. That would be the most amazing experience of their lives.

Having expressed her reservations about a third season following director Jean-Marc Vallée's passing in 2021, Zoe has since spoken out against the idea. In a GQ TikTok post from November 2022, the actor expressed her disapproval of the idea of a third season. She simply cannot imagine continuing the show without their amazing director, who recently passed away. They spoke a lot about producing a third season, and he was the show's true inspiration.
