“I think Bonnie’s divorced — that’s good for her,” Kravitz said.
Kravitz’s character is married to Nathan Carlson, played by James Tupper, in the series.
While a third season has not been officially announced by HBO, Kravitz added that she knows “nothing” about the status of development but that she is “excited to do it.”
“I’m waiting to see, like everybody else, the third season that’s happening … waiting by the phone, waiting for the script to be done,” Kravitz said.
The actress and filmmaker previously said in 2022 that she thought the show died with late director Jean-Marc Vallée, who passed away in 2021.
“I don’t think it is. We talked about doing a Season 3 a lot, but unfortunately, Jean-Marc Vallée, our incredible director, passed away this last year,” Kravitz said at that time. “I just can’t imagine going on without him. He really was the visionary for that show. So, unfortunately, it’s done.”
However, Kravitz’s co-star and series executive producer Nicole Kidman confirmed that a third season is in the works as of June 2024.
“Just you wait!” Kidman said during a Vanity Fair interview alongside former co-star Reese Witherspoon. “We’re moving fast and furious. And Liane [Moriarty] is delivering the book. And we’re in good shape. So the rest is…We need to shut up because there’s this whole thing that you should never talk about something until you’ve done it. Because if you talk about doing it, it’s the dopamine hit of doing it. You feel like you’ve done it. It’s a scientific study.”
The beloved HBO series starred Kravitz, Kidman, Witherspoon, Laura Dern, and Shailene Woodley as the “Monterey 5,” an unlikely group of women who banded together to take down (and later, cover up) an abusive husband. Initially slated as a limited series, “Big Little Lies” debuted in 2017. A second season followed in 2019 directed by “American Honey” helmer Andrea Arnold.
