Is Season 3 of Big Little Lies Happening? Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern Want Ice Cube and J.Lo to Appear
Fans have been aching to catch up with the Monterrey five, but is a season 3 of Big Little Lies in the works?
While the stars of the HBO series have previously said that a third season is unlikely, there’s been some rumblings lately that reveal it isn’t entirely out of the question. Not to mention, there’s interest from the cast!
Nicole Kidman told Elle in 2019 that they’d “love to [do another season] because we love being together, and it’s lovely spending time with your friends, and with such good material.”
However, for there to be another season, it has to make sense and the storyline needs to be strong. It’s also incredibly difficult to get all the Oscar-winning actresses together in one room as they’re some of the busiest women in Hollywood. Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley would love to reprise their roles, but they’ve also got a lot going on individually in their careers.
Witherspoon is starring in Hulu’s Little Fires Everywhere and Apple’s The Morning Show, Kravitz has her Hulu show Fidelity and will play Catwoman, and Dern recently finished up Marriage Story and Little Women. Woodley also has several projects in pre-production.
And still, Dern and Witherspoon gave fans hope during an Instagram Live amid the coronavirus quarantine.
Witherspoon revealed she’d love to bring Jennifer Lopez to Monterrey stating, “I’m always hoping for J.Lo to show up, just ’cause I really enjoy some J.Lo,” she said of the Hustlers actress.
She also clarified that again, they want to do a third season. “we’re just kind of waiting… We’re trying guys! We’re trying to come up with the right story,” she revealed.
Dern added: “I really do fantasize that we’ll do it again cause I miss—don’t you miss those characters?,” before revealing that she’d love Ice Cube to make a cameo. Maybe he’d join the sheriff’s department?
And while there is a lot of interest in continuing the narrative of the compelling series, it was never intended to stretch for multiple seasons since it was created as a limited series.
Many fans and even those involved with the series worry that pushing more seasons will only dilute and weaken the show’s reputation, and thus, it’s why the ladies refuse to agree on anything until the story is just right.
While season 2 offered some closure as the ladies, spearheaded by Bonnie (Kravitz) all decided to come clean, it was also open-ended as there would be much to explore with how confessing affected their lives.
Would they go to jail? Would they be shunned by society? What happens with Renata’s (Derns) marriage?
The foundation is there, but where they go from there is the real question. In order to move forward, writer David E. Kelly must present a script that makes sense to the biggest names in Hollywood.
Is season 3 happening? It may not be a ‘yes’ right now, but it’s also not a ‘no.’
Everwood’s John Beasley has passed away.
The actor was best known for his role as Irv Harper on the WB drama that aired from 2002 through 2006. He also served as the show’s narrator.
He was 79.
His son confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter noting that his father died in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.
He was reportedly undergoing tests on his liver, though it’s unclear if that’s related to his death. A cause of death was not immediately announced.
His acting credits include Early Edition, Millennium, Judging Amy, The Soul Man, and appearances on hits like The Resident, NCIS, and Your Honor.
As for films, those include The Mighty Ducks, Rudy, The Sum of All Fears, Walking Tall and The Purge: Anarchy, with his final role in 2022’s Firestarter.
Everwood starred Emily van Camp, Gregory Smith, Chris Pratt, Tom Amandes, Debra Mooney, and Treat Williams. You can stream episodes of the hit by renting or purchasing the series on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Instant Video, and Vudu
RIP John.
Are you ready for Flight 828 to make its final descent?
On April 7, Netflix revealed the release date for the second half of the plane drama, along with a new teaser trailer to hold fans over.
Manifest Season 4 Part 2—all 10 episodes—will land on the streamer on Friday, June 2, 2023. For those that are keeping score, it’s a year ahead of the June 2, 2024 Death Date (so does this mean they find a way to beat it?!).
Netflix typically releases new episodes at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time, which means it will drop at 3:00 am Eastern and 2:00 am CT.
And according to the teaser trailer, things are just as ominous as we expected when we saw the final shot of Season 4 Part 1 of Angelina bringing forth destruction via volcanic fissures.
“The world is ending and we know when,” Josh Dallas’ Ben Stone remarks in the trailer as everyone emphasizes June 2 numerous times.
Here’s the full synopsis for the forthcoming final set of episodes.
“A mysterious accident delivers ominous warnings on a biblical scale that will further jeopardize the livelihood of all the passengers,” the synopsis reads. “As Michaela [Melissa Roxburgh] grieves the loss of her beloved husband Zeke [Matt Long], she must team up with her old flame Jared [J.R. Ramirez] to find new methods to investigate Callings.”
The end may be near, but there’s still plenty of story left to tell—and we hope that they do right by the ending, giving a satisfactory conclusion to longtime fans who have rallied behind the series from day 1 when it was still on NBC.
Catch up on all of our Manifest reviews leading up to the final season right here.

For those who need a bit of a refresher, there’s plenty of drama that we’re going to dive right into. At the end of season 2, it was revealed that Bill is Isaac’s father (a bombshell revelation if I’m being honest), Noreen gave birth to her daughter and decided to stay in Serenity, Dana Sue decided to give Ronnie another shot, Helen suffered a miscarriage before cozying up to Erik and getting proposed to by true love Ryan, and finally, a bump in the road for Maddie and Cal’s relationship following his angry outburst.
