After nearly a decade, the moms of Monterey are ready to reunite for Season 3 of "Big Little Lies".

Reese Witherspoon, who executive produces and stars as Madeline Mackenzie in the HBO drama, recently gave an update on the long-awaited return of the show after Deadline exclusively reported that Season 3 is in the works.



“We might be working on Season 3,” she said on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". “Yeah, I mean, they’re writing it. It’s exciting too, just to get the gang back together and have everybody start talking about it. It’s really fun.”

Witherspoon acknowledged that it’s “been a minute” since she got all her co-stars together after Season 2 concluded in 2019. “It’s been about 10 years, maybe nine years?” added Witherspoon. “And all those little kids [who] were in second grade, they’re all teenagers now. And being a mom of a teenager, it is a lot of big little lies.”
