These crafty ladies of Monterey, California may be back for another fling. That’s the word from Nicole Kidman, who plays a physically and psychologically abused Celeste on the hit HBO show Big Little Lies, the final episode of which aired Sunday.
in conversation with TV lineThe 49-year-old Australian actress — a producer on the limited series and a co-star along with fellow lead and producer Reese Witherspoon — has hinted that she will be in a second season, said Reese, who said there are talks to start a second season.
Meanwhile, Liane Moriarty, author of the 2014 source novel, recently revealed that she had ideas for what the second season could be.

Nicole really enjoyed making her abused character relatable “because so many women are in this situation, and I wanted to be there with empathy for her, rather than judgment and anger.” She does it to herself, because she’s the kind of person who keeps everything anyway.
Tom Cruise’s ex-wife added that there is a “strong connection” between the five leading actresses and a strong rush to get the series. ’ … I think we all feel connected to him. And that it’s had an effect, breaking through the hyper-intense world of television… There’s just so much to show! But I would love for people to respond to it. I love the emotional connection to it. It is very rare.
As co-producer of the show, Big Little Lies represented “Reese and I going,” Nicole shared, “We want to do a series that celebrates women, not that gets us down.” And if you’ve seen the entire series, this is what you see at the end. It’s about friendships… no matter what happened and the roads that led us to where we are, when it really matters, we reach out to each other.

For Nicole, Big Little Lies was her first time starring in a weekly TV series – an experience she really enjoyed.
“I just love being in people’s lives every week,” she said. I find that very motivating. I’m just amazed at the way people have to view things. Because they watched it again, and they seem to really notice the details. Much more than just a movie. They can hit the rewind button!
Nicole continued how the series came to be because there was a ‘strong connection’ between all five actresses and a drive to get the new adaptation. “…I think we all feel connected to him,” she said.

She added, “And that had an effect, that it penetrated into the very, very intense world of television…”. There are so many offers! But I would love for people to respond to it. I love the emotional connection to it. It is very rare.
Nicole, who has been married in real life to Keith Urban for 11 years, said her country singer husband was “part of my barometer” in gauging how Big Little Lies played viewers.
And he was like, ‘This thing is addictive,'” I recalled saying. I said, “Really?” He said, “Oh, you have no idea. I’m, like, salivating for the next episode. When do we get it? When do we get it?” And he doesn’t usually say that! He said, “No, no, guys are going to love this show. They just have to figure it out somehow.”

Nicole credited Jean-Marc Vallée, director of the entire Big Little Lies series, with devising the final episode’s death sequence for a major character.
“This was all Jean Marc,” she said. It was all in his head. When we all sit at the police station, we all had our own monologues, so you could hear things. But in his head, cinematically, what it looked like. The relationship between the ocean and nature, and the way he depicted the ocean, is also part of the entire series. It’s unpredictable, and the way we’re all drawn to it…has its own strength. I like the way he did silence there.
Nicole went on to say that working with Jean-Marc went so smoothly because he loves women, so he wants to portray them in a raw and honest way. He was very committed to all of us.
The whole story of Reese…which I think is just glorious. You see this incredibly thoughtful arc of hers. And he knew Reese really well, so they really have great, intuitive language.
And then he knew Laura too. So he was going to shoot each of us individually, because we all have different stories. However, you will feel protected, safe and private. This is really hard. And to give that to Shay (Woodley), who he’s never worked with, and then Zoe (Kravitz), who is just a wizard…we were very, very lucky.

According to TV Line, Reese has expressed keen interest in creating a second season but left it up to writer Liane whether or not a second season will happen while Nicole added that show runner David E. Kelley’s desire to return is also key.
“Between Leanne and David, I hope they can come up with something,” Nicole said. “…I mean, it took us six months to shoot this. So we all went, ‘Uh…OK!’ I think if there was something compelling and extraordinary they could come up with, would we want to embody these women again? That would be it.” Nice prospect.
But popping champagne in Season 2 is definitely premature, as not everyone on board is on board to make this limited series indefinite. Jean Marc said Jared only He does not think continuation is necessary.
I’m not sure: the showrunner, Jean-Marc Vallée, doesn’t feel a second season is necessary
Reason: The entire story from the novel was shown by the end of the first season.
“The detective doesn’t want to give up, and that’s how we finish it,” said Jean-Marc. And we think, ‘Did they do the right thing?’ What will happen? Now it’s up to the audience and their imagination to find out.
“To do a second season, I’m not with that. Let’s move on and do something else! If there’s a chance we’ll meet Reese and Nicole and those characters of course, I’ll be a part of it, but Big Little Lies One is a one-time deal. Big Little Lies Two? Nah. The end to talk about.” The audience. Imagine what you want to imagine and that’s it. We’re not going to give you a second season because it’s just too good like that. Why spoil it?
