Laura Dern Says « Hold Out Hope » for « Big Little Lies » Season 3 (Exclusive)

Lauren Dern is rooted for a ‘Big Little Lies’ comeback. ET’s Cassie DiLaura spoke with Dern at the Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2023 fashion show on Thursday night, where she said she « remains hopeful » for the third season of the beloved HBO series.

« I’m going to be shy about it, » Dern teased. « I mean, we would all love nothing more, we’re like family – just very lucky. »

« I say let’s keep hope alive, » she added. « Let’s keep asking, it just might come true. »

« Big Little Lies » alum Kathryn Newton shared a similar sentiment while speaking to ET on Thursday, telling DiLaura to tell Dern, « You better tell her how badly you want it. »

She continued, « My makeup artist was telling me how much she loved the show. I loved the show. It’s done a lot for my career, working with great actors and a great storyline. I’ve done a lot for TV – so I would like to do it again.

Newton also gave a shout out to his TV mom, Reese Witherspoon, adding, « Oh, I’d be down. Oh yeah. Let’s go, Reese!

« Big Little Lies » aired for two seasons, from 2017 to 2019, and boasted an all-star cast, including Dern, Witherspoon, Zoë Kravitz, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley and more.

Kidman, Witherspoon and more BLL the alumni have been sharing their ideas for a season 3 since the show ended in 2019, but nothing has materialized.

HBO President of Programming Casey Bloys addressed a possible third season of the series during the TCA network’s summer presentation in July 2019, just days after the show’s season two finale.
