One book and two seasons weren’t enough for fans of “Big Little Lies.”
The good news? There will be more. Bestselling author Liane Moriarty has announced “Big Little Truths,” a sequel set 10 years after the events of the first book, is coming Aug. 25.
The book will be the basis of Season 3 of "Big Little Lies," the Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman-produced HBO series in which they star alongside Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz and Shailene Woodley as the incendiary group of wealthy moms at the center of a murder investigation. In “Big Little Truths,” those women will return, but it's their children, now teenagers, who play the biggest role.
In an exclusive interview with USA TODAY, Moriarty shares what she’s excited for fans to see in the next book and season.
Moriarty felt fans' demand to expand the “Big Little Lies” universe, but wasn't ready until now. The novel came out in 2014 and was adapted into the hit Hulu show that debuted in 2017. Moriarty wrote an unpublished novella to serve as the basis of 2019's Season 2, the aftermath of the murder.
