Emmy-Winner Shailene Woodley Addresses Her 'Big Little Lies' Future

Will a third season of Big Little Lies ever come to fruition? Supposedly, according to recent reports. In the meantime, a literary sequel to the original novel just hit the shelves. Big Little Truths was released August 25, and it was unsurprisingly one of the most highly anticipated releases of the month on Goodreads. With fresh source material, author Liane Moriarty already revealed that the book would inspire a third installment of the TV show, E! News reports. So when the entertainment outlet recently caught up with newly minted Emmy-winner Shailene Woodley, the topic of Big Little Lies was broached — more specifically, if she'll return for a third season. 'That's what I hear,' Woodley, 34, told E! News with a reported coy smile on Sunday, Sept. 6. 'So, I'm going to continue throwing that rumor mill out there and feeding it. You know, that it is happening.' Last month, Moriarty, 59, told the outlet that the show's producers — Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and David E. Kelly — had read the book and 'said nice things.' Though she acknowledged the book-to-screen process and was 'absolutely sure there will be huge changes.' Moriarty also added at the time that 'hopefully, hopefully they will start filming sooner rather than later.' Before diving into Big Little Truths, you will need to read the first book — whether for the first time or again — before you delve into Big Little Truths. This is a true sequel, picking up 10 years after the events of the first novel. The last we met Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie, their children were just five, and now they're teenagers trying to navigate the hell that is high school. Gone are the struggles with playdates. Instead, the women need to navigate more complex issues, including dating, alcohol and everything else teenagers get themselves into. What these women didn't expect was to have to deal with a severed human finger mystery. Find out more here. Entertainment Writer, Parade
