HBO Confirms Big Little Lies Season Two

HBO is bringing back Big Little Lies for a second season, which will see Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon returning as stars and executive producers.

Season two of the limited series will feature seven new episodes, with David E. Kelley (The Practice, Ally McBeal) returning to write the scripts. Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Transparent) has come on board as director for the new season. Season one director Jean-Marc Vallée will remain an executive producer.

“I’m excited to announce the return of Big Little Lies,” said Casey Bloys, the president of HBO programming. “David Kelley wrote beautiful scripts and Reese and Nicole were, once again, a force to be reckoned with, reuniting the cast and recruiting the talented Andrea Arnold to direct. We look forward to working with this amazing group of artists.”

“I’m thrilled to be bringing back this talented team of artists,” Witherspoon said. “It gives us the opportunity to delve deeper into the lives of these intriguing and intricate Monterey families and bring more of their stories back to the audience who embraced and championed them. I’m beyond excited to be working with talented and acclaimed director Andrea Arnold, who will be at the helm. Andrea’s unique storytelling style will be a welcome addition to the filmmaking team.”

Kidman added, “This is inspired by the overwhelming response by audiences around the world, conceived once again by Liane Moriarty, realized by David Kelley and now in the hands of visionary filmmaker Andrea Arnold. What a journey this has been.”
