Re-watching “Big Little Lies”

LTT1 — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 23:16:26 GMT

I remember loving this show so much (2017).

It spoke to me at that time.

Stumbled onto the theme song again and it reminded me that I needed to watch this one again.

Some of the details got by me!

Loved watching that series, Celeste's (Nicole Kidman) husband was something else!

Agree , the series kept me interested in watching each episode. Loved all the beautiful houses and the clothing was devine. Her husband , Alexander Skarsgard , is a tall good looking guy who went on to star in that movie called THe Northman with Nicole Kidman playing his Mother .

I think Nicole Kidman won a Golden Globe for her performance. I agree that husband of hers was something else

I agree, Alexander is handsome and he comes from a family (siblings) of actors as well, their father is actor, Stellan Skarsgard.

I highly recommend the book that came out in 2014.

Big Little Lies, written by Liane Moriarty

Love Alexander Skarsgard since True Blood. It was announced back in June that there will be Season 3. Cast seems to be the same except for Meryl Streep according to the article.

I've read that they are doing another season when they can coordinate their schedules which them seem to be having a difficult time doing. Then I read that a third book is coming out about it which I did not quite understand. I didn't know there was a second one.

Nicole and her daughter in Paris.

Below from an article in Newsweek in 2019.

Fans wanted another season with the Monterey Five, but there was just one problem: Moriarty hadn't written a sequel.

To appease fans and HBO, Moriarty penned 50,000-word a novella just for the show. She also specifically wrote a role just for Meryl Streep, who plays Mary Louise, the mother-in-law of Kidman's character, Celeste. It's partly why it took the series two years to return.

"When I was sort of agonizing over whether or not I should do it, it was actually my sister who said to me, 'Only do it if it would be fun, and why not create a role for your favorite actor?' And that's when I came up with this role for Meryl Streep, to be Perry's mother," Moriarty told The Hollywood Reporter in May. "And it was really from there that it all came together because you bring this new character in and the storylines just emerge."

Originally, Moriarty wasn't sure if she wanted to revisit what happened at that fateful at the Elvis-and-Audrey trivia night, which led to Perry's (Skarsgård) death. "I was saying, 'No, no. I think it's a great idea to do a season two, but I'm not interested in writing it,'" Moriarty told THR. "But then I kept saying, 'But if you do it, you could do this.' So I kept coming up with different scenes."

Unlike the first season of Big Little Lies, where fans could have read the book and watched the show, the novella which season 2 is based on is unpublished. For now, fans will have to wait for each new episode to premiere on Sunday to find out what happens next.

It was filmed in Monterey, Califormia where I used to live. I remember seeing them film on The Wharf when I drove by once. The Monterey Peninsula is beautiful. I really want to watch it but I don't have HBO. I bet I can recognize many places where they fiilmed.
