Big Little Lies Won't Return for Season 3, Says Zoë Kravitz: 'Unfortunately, It's Done'

Big Little Lies is done forever, says Zoë Kravitz.

Despite actresses like Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern dropping hints about hopes for a future installment of the HBO drama, Kravitz says the series isn't coming back. When asked during GQ video "Zoë Kravitz Responds to Fans on the Internet" when Big Little Lies was "coming back on", Kravitz replied, "I don't think it is." 

“We talked about doing a Season 3 a lot. Unfortunately, Jean-Marc Vallée, our incredible director, passed away this last year, which is heartbreaking. And I just can’t imagine going on without him. He really was the visionary for that show. So unfortunately, it’s done."

Vallée died in December 2021 of cardiac arrhythmia. He was 58 years old. 

Big Little Lies debuted on HBO as a miniseries in 2017, earning eight Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited Series and acting awards for cast members Nicole Kidman, Alexander Skarsgård, and Laura Dern. Following the show's success, it received a surprise Season 2, which concluded in 2019. 

Big Little Lies is streaming on HBO Max.
