Big Little Lies Season 3 Plot Revealed With Major Change
Liane Moriarty's sequel continues the story with teenage children facing new challenges; HBO's season 3 will adapt the book, with original cast expected to return.
- On Monday, author Liane Moriarty announced her first-ever sequel, 'Big Little Truths,' will be published by Penguin Random House on Aug. 25, 2026, serving as the basis for HBO's third season of 'Big Little Lies.'
- Ten years have passed since the original story, and the 'Monterey Five'—Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie—now face the challenges of raising teenagers, with the community in an uproar after a school principal receives a severed human finger in the mail.
- Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon will lead the returning cast, while 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' co-creator Francesca Sloan is set to write the premiere episode and executive produce.
- Moriarty credited the HBO adaptation for influencing her writing, particularly regarding Renata: "It's all Laura Dern's fault because she was so amazing as Renata," she said, expanding the character's role in the sequel.
- While 'Big Little Truths' arrives Aug. 25, 2026, HBO has not yet announced a premiere date for season three, though the publisher describes the sequel as a "nuanced, sharply observed exploration of contemporary womanhood" that stands entirely on its own.
