BIG LITTLE LIES Season 3 Officially In The Works

A third season of HBO's drama series "Big Little Lies" is officially in the works. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" co-creator Francesca Sloane has boarded the project to write the first episode and executive produce the new season. Sloane will executive produce along with David E. Kelley, Nicole Kidman, and Reese Witherspoon.

Kidman and Witherspoon will return to lead the cast. Sloane has signed a two-year overall deal at HBO. Kidman revealed as far back as 2023 that a third season could be happening, but nothing had been officially confirmed until now.

"Big Little Lies" first aired in 2017 as a limited series based on the novel of the same name by Liane Moriarty, but due to its huge success, including winning 8 Emmys, HBO announced that the show would return for a second season. The cast also included Shailene Woodley, Zoë Kravitz, Alexander Skarsgård, Adam Scott, James Tupper and Jeffrey Nordling, with Meryl Streep joining the ensemble in Season 2.

A sequel novel is due to be published in 2026. Meanwhile, it was recently announced that filming on "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" Season 2 at Amazon Prime Video had been delayed indefinitely.

Emmys 2017: The Complete Winners List

The 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards announced its winners on Sunday night during a ceremony hosted by Stephen Colbert at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles.

Top honors were bestowed upon Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale" for best drama series, HBO's "Veep" for comedy series and "Big Little Lies" for limited series. NBC's "Saturday Night Live" picked up nods for Variety Sketch Series, directing and supporting actors (Kate McKinnon and Alec Baldwin) as a result of a politically charged season aimed mostly at Donald Trump, proving once again that awards shows are more inclined to reward politics rather than quality. Meanwhile, "The Leftovers" was snubbed for its amazing final season. End Of Rant.

In the acting categories, Elisabeth Moss and Ann Dowd scored wins for "The Handmaid's Tale", Sterling K. Brown for "This is Us", and in the limited series category Nicole Kidman, Alexander Skarsgard and Laura Dern took home awards for "Big Little Lies". Julia Louis-Dreyfus nabbed a record-breaking sixth consecutive trophy for "Veep".

Emmys 2017: Full List of Nominations

The nominations for the 69th Annual Emmy Awards have been announced. While "Game of Thrones" was ineligible this year due to a late summer start for the new season, HBO still scored big with another genre series, the highly acclaimed "Westworld", which tied surprisingly with "Saturday Night Live", each claiming no less than 22 nominations. SNL is the big surprise here, and some would say not entirely a welcome one, but they have had a surge in popularity lately due to their roasting of Donald Trump.

Other shows nominated include some of the usual suspects like "House of Cards, Better Call Saul, Modern Family" and "Veep", but also newcomers like "The Crown", "Stranger Things", "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Atlanta". In the limited series category, HBO is in with "Big Little Lies" (16 nods) and "Night Of" (13 nods), FX has two anthology shows, "Fargo" (16 nods) and "Feud: Bette and Joan" (19 nods), while National Geographic pulled a surprise of their own as their new show "Genius", which could be described as Emmy-bait, scored 9 nominations.

As a fan of "The Leftovers" and its contribution to the history of television, I can say I'm pretty pissed that this awesome show was once again snubbed at the Emmys, especially as the third and final season was as close to perfection as any show can hope to be. The Emmys are no different than any other awards institution, leaning towards easy choices that are explicitly constructed to nab nominations and awards, and/or political choices, while original shows that subvert expectations and cliches are avoided like the plague. And "The Leftovers" is not the only one, but one of many important series to be snubbed by the Emmys in recent years.

The Emmy Awards will announce its winners from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles during a ceremony hosted by Stephen Colbert, which will air live on Sunday, Sept. 17 at 5 p.m. PT. on CBS.

Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon Team Up for BIG LITTLE LIES

Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon are joining forces to produce and star in the comedy "Big Little Lies". The film is based on the New York Times bestseller of the same name by Liane Moriarty and it "tells the comic tale of three mothers of kindergartners whose apparently perfect lives unravel to the point of murder." The film is aimed at a 2017 release, but it's quite early for a definitive schedule. Kidman is currently working on the drama "The Family Fang" directed by and co-starring Jason Bateman and can also be seen this year in the family film "Paddington", the biopic "Queen of the Desert" and the mystery thriller "Before I Go to Sleep". Witherspoon has three films coming out this year, the true story dramas "Wild" and "The Good Lie", and Paul Thomas Anderson's new film "Inherent Vice".
