Author Liane Moriarty released ‘Big Little Truths’ on August 25, serving as the first sequel to ‘Big Little Lies’. Set ten years after the original story, the novel follows Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Bonnie, and Renata as their children enter high school.

The plot introduces a mystery surrounding a school event known as ‘D-Day’. In this sequence, a presentation by Jane’s son, Ziggy, exposes a teacher named Melody and her husband, Seth Montclair, for predatory behavior. While the book provides significant spoilers for the franchise, HBO has not yet officially ordered a third season or announced a production date.

Reports indicate that potential scheduling conflicts among lead cast members—including Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Zoë Kravitz, and Laura Dern—could delay filming until as late as 2028.
