Zoe Kravitz is at the pinnacle of her career right now! Her directorial debut Blink Twice was a smash success, followed by a few other hits this year, and now the actress is eagerly awaiting her next much-anticipated big project.
Like many HBO viewers, she’s been ‘waiting on the phone’ for news about the long-awaited third season of Big Little Lies. “I, like everybody else, am waiting to see when the third season is coming out,” Kravitz said in a recent interview with People. “I’m waiting for the scripts to be ready.”
Although she knows ‘nothing’ about the new season, she is ‘excited’ to be a part of it. By 2024, it has been five years since the second season of this criminal drama premiered.
As Deadline previously reported, hopes are still alive for a third season of the Emmy-winning series, which also stars Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Meryl Streep (in the second season), Adam Scott and Alexander Skarsgard. Earlier this year, Laura Dern told Entertainment Weekly that the show’s leads are actively planning the sequel
In addition, producer Kidman also confirmed the third part in 2023. With a general comment, she said, “We will bring you the third part, just FYI.” Big Little Lies explores the ideal lives of a group of upper-class mothers whose children attend a prestigious elementary school in a quiet California seaside town.
The series has received critical acclaim, particularly for its writing, direction, acting, production values, cinematography, and soundtrack. The first season received 16 Primetime Emmy Award nominations and won eight.
Originally billed as a miniseries, Jean-Marc Vallee directed the first season, while Andrea Arnold directed the second. In November 2023, Nicole Kidman said a third season would be made. According to Esquire, while the plot of season 3 of the iconic show is still under wraps, it should pick up where season 2 ended.
In June 2024, director Kidman told Vanity Fair that things were moving quickly. She revealed that Liane Moriarty was working on the book and that she was in a good place, but that she did not want to reveal much because she felt that talking about it was as satisfying as actually doing it.
