‘Big Little Lies’ Author Liane Moriarty Teases Season 3 Storyline Including 10-Year Time Jump With ‘Big Little Truths’ Book Reveal

Liane Moriarty, author of Big Little Lies, announced her sequel novel 'Big Little Truths' will be published in August 2025. The book will serve as source material for the long-awaited third season of the HBO series. The story picks up 10 years after the original events, with Moriarty describing writing it as 'catching up with old friends.'

Big Little Lies became a cultural phenomenon, with its HBO adaptation winning multiple Emmys and launching careers for stars like Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. Fans have been waiting years for news about a third season after the second season concluded in 2019.
Fans say

This is exactly what they've been hoping for after years of uncertainty about the show's future. The 10-year time jump feels natural and gives the story room to explore how the characters have evolved. Having source material from the original author should ensure the same quality that made the first adaptation so compelling.

Skeptics say

The second season already felt like it stretched the original story thin, and adding another installment risks diluting what made the first season special. Time jumps can be tricky to execute well, and there's always the risk that lightning won't strike twice. The long gap between seasons might have cooled audience interest.
