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.’
Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren are jumping on the Yellowstone bandwagon.
The actors will star in the drama’s upcoming 1932 prequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Paramount+ series follows the 1883 prequel spinoff and will introduce a new generation of Duttons.
The series has amassed a somewhat cult following, so it makes sense that the forces behind yet another origin story have decided to go big with the names attached to the project.
It’s unclear what role Ford and Mirren have been cast in, but we’re sure it’ll delight considering their impressive acting resumes.
Per the official synopsis provided by the streaming network, the drama will “explore the early 20th century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home.”
Pandemics, huh. We know a thing or two about that.
News of the new prequel first broke in February.
“Taylor Sheridan has put roots down for the Dutton Family tree that stand strong and tall, with many branches that continue to engage record-breaking audiences,” 1883 executive producer David C. Glasser said via a statement, adding, “It is awe-inspiring to work with Taylor, ViacomCBS and the entire team on this universe.”
It’s unclear if the plan is to have 1932 span multiple seasons or if it will be a one-season limited series like the previous prequel.
All we know is that if you’re not watching Yellowstone and the blossoming franchise, you’re doing it wrong.
As many of your favorite shows wind down for the season, we’re already looking forward to their return.
And with those beloved shows come a slew of new comedies and dramas.

It’s the end of a franchise on The CW.
The network officially canceled Legacies, a spinoff of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals.
The news, while heartbreaking, might not be unexpected for those who have been following along and awaiting a verdict.
Things didn’t bode well for the series after the network banished the remaining three episodes from their scheduled May airdates to the month of June.
‘Dynasty,’ ‘Roswell, New Mexico,’ ‘Charmed’ Among Shows Canceled by The CW
And when The CW canceled Dynasty, Roswell, New Mexico, Charmed, In the Dark, and 4400 earlier today, things looked even bleaker for the Danielle Russell-led series.
Admittedly, Legacies never reached the heights that its predecessors did, and viewership has only been dwindling.
The series will come to an end with its fourth season.
The CW really broke took a jab at so many fandoms today!
Bad news today. But the GOOD news is we have so much love and support from such a wonderful fandom. The biggest of hugs to all of you. Can't wait for you to see how the series ends. We're going out with a bang and you're gonna love it. #Legacies

Deadline reports that the network is currently in talks to be sold to station group Nexstar, which could explain the decision to slice its programing roster in half.
It previously canceled Batwoman and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
Back in March, the network gave green lights for several of its dramas: All American renewed for season 5, The Flash renewed for season 9, Kung Fu renewed for season 3, Superman & Loisrenewed for season 3, Nancy Drew renewed for season 4, Riverdale renewed for season 7, Walker renewed for season 3.
