Big Little Lies season 2 renewal closer; Liane Moriarty thinking of ideas

Adjust Comment Print

For now, HBO does not have plans for a second installment of Big Little Lies but has not closed the door to that following a solid run with ratings growth.

And now today, Moriarty told the Sydney Morning Herald that she was "absolutely" open to a sequel. I wouldn't write a new book but perhaps a new story and then we'll see what happens...once I started thinking, it was too much fun to see what I could do and to see these characters again.

After screenwriter David E. Kelley took the reins, he stuck close to Moriarty's original yarn about three suburban housewives, each with something to hide. But the show's cast-including Witherspoon, who's been lobbying people on Facebook to beg Moriarty for a second season of the show-seem pretty primed to return to the shady underside of affluent Monterey. "It also leaves open the possibility of Season 2".

Starring Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Alexander Skarsgård and Adam Scott, Big Little Lies will likely be a major talking point at next year's Golden Globes and Emmys.

Past year two-way trade in goods and services was almost $20 billion, more than double what it was a decade ago. Mr Turnbull said that decision rested with the independent board which administered the fund.

The problem with adapting a stand-alone novel into a television series is that once you reach the end of the book ... there's just not many places to go. You don't want to bring the show back for the sake of bringing it back; you want to do it because you have an excellent idea that can somehow bring the show forward to another level of greatness.

The first season ends with some dangling plot threads that could be explored in more episodes, should everyone choose to go that route. The episode's final scene follows all of the women and their kids hanging out together on a beach, but there's that cliffhanger: they're still being watched. For example, Bonnie, played by Zoe Kravitz, is a character she feels needs more attention. Or would we have new women and new secrets? "She's still grieving for the end of a awful relationship and I think that would be a really interesting thing to explore", Moriarty noted.

Producer and star Reese Witherspoon has said that it is up to Liane for a second season to happen and she told fans to ask her to think up ideas. "So there's a whole lot of different storylines".

In the novel, Bonnie's past is fully fleshed out to include information about her abusive father, which largely explains some of the actions she takes in the story. " 'Big Little Lies Two?' Nah".
