14 min isn’t enough! I need a full hr of them talking all about big little lies👏🏼👏🏼

[@josephinemateo2553]

Exactly 👏🏽

[@cheri5954]

Just some best friends having a fun moment ❤

[@ZulcanPrime]

I agree. I would prefer to see more of Reece Witherspoon and Nicole is okay too.

[@RobbyRockaholic]

Yes ! This show was such a boost for them both I had t seen them in something current and still looking amazing and in something that is just great and is a massive hit , that they hands on for , not that they were dead … just a reinvigorated

[@JM-ks6ix]

Seriously tho.

[@autumnsnow3568]

Season 3 of Big Little Lies is absolutely necessary for my physical and mental health at this point ✨

[@EPHTR8032]

🙋🏾‍♀️Same!

[@kairubynini]

it’s confirmed so get excited 😆

[@CeciliaWallerstrom-zv7rr]

OMG🎉

[@adamautumn2329]

Season 2 was a struggle bus so I hope season 3 is like better than the first and far better than the second season.

[@K0m30ng]

@@adamautumn2329 Apparently, season 2's director Andrea Arnold clashed with the producers (the late Jean Marc Vallee had to stepped into the editing room to fix it) over the tone of the season so i guess that's why season 2 was a struggle bus

[@blueyedlady]

I feel like I'm just sitting in a friend's living room letting them catch up while I wait my turn to join in. They're both lovely, and familiar, and down to earth. Wonderful ladies!

[@AA-qb7ni]

Big Little Lies was such an important show. I really hope it returns. Everyone was incredible in it, especially Nicole 🙌🏼

[@chrisgeronimo]

Reese: “So that’s why I call her Dern, because we can’t both be Laura.” Nicole: “But she doesn’t call you Laura though” 😂

[@JavenarchX]

Such a funny moment

[@pWasHere9]

I totally understand Reese. Like calling someone else your own name I think would create like a weird feedback loop.

[@trinaq]

I hope that they eventually release a third season of this show. It would be interesting to see where all of the characters ended up.

[@K0m30ng]

I'm curious who's going to direct the third season. Jean Marc Vallee has passed away (bless him rip), and then Andrea Arnold? Well we all know how that turned out, so i'm curious to see which director is going to lead season three's direction

[@JavenarchX]

They are literally saying it's happening now. LoL

[@yvonneshanson1525]

​@15Candles love those girls but i think the deeper appeal of BLL was JM's direction.. he was magical nobody does it better 😥

[@garycambridge5513]

Mimi leder should direct as she did morning show or maybe Susan seidelman

[@jayr3053]

We NEED season 3!

[@jenniferburke2076]

I love their friendship here. It seems so genuine, and I love the small window into how well they know each other.

[@kevinang2836]

They are not very close. Nicole doesn't know her real name is laura

[@Disney65Fan]

Two legends on the same sofa

[@bluecolor1600]

Legends....😂😂🙈

[@Iamanillusion1]

Nicole is the only legend

[@yubeta]

You can tell why Reese is a producer. She has an insane way to focus her attention on the person she’s talking to and be playful but also let it be clear she’s got a point of view and an opinion

[@Clintsessentials]

💯

[@denarendall]

Still one of the best shows I have ever watched. The casting was literally incredible! SO many insanely talented women. I need an hour long round table talk dedicated to Big Little Lies with all the ladies!

[@austintaylorrose8046]

I’m ALWAYS gonna remember Reese as Nicole in Fear AND Vanessa in Freeway.

[@kandriaamlani2579]

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

If HBO's "Big Little Lies" does return for a 3rd season, the director will have to be more than able to replace the deceased Jean-Marc Vallee!

[@autumnsnow3568]

If I’m remembering correctly, he only directed the first season, the second season was mostly directed by Andrea Arnold. Hopefully they get her back for season three! :)

[@marvina.-vn3ze]

​@@autumnsnow3568 I remember reading that they brought Jean-Marc Vallée back for editing (maybe reshoots too? I am not sure) after Andrea was done with S2. There was a controversy about it. Though I think nobody could save that mess of a train-wreck since it was doomed to fail due to script. I am also not holding my breath for S3, wish it stayed as a limited series.

[@K0m30ng]

@@marvina.-vn3ze Jean was mostly involved in the editing room, yes he had his hands on season 2 which clashed with Andrea's vision for the season. However, HBO and Jean did ordered Andrea for reshoots under her direction but also with Jean supervising it. Because Jean was working on Sharp Objects when Andrea worked on Big Little Lies Season 2. He went to Big Little Lies Season 2 once he wrapped on Sharp Objects

Las amo demasiado, tan inteligentes, tan empoderadas y seguras de sí mismas.
