NEW YORK Dec 09 (TNS):<\/strong> American cable network HBO has announced a second season of the series “Big Little Lies,” with A-listers Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon both set to return to executive produce and star in the Emmy-winning show.<\/p>\n

Based on Liane Moriarty\u00b4s bestselling novel, “Big Little Lies” was initially broadcast as a mini-series and was not intended to run beyond seven episodes shown at the start of 2017.<\/p>\n

It was a major hit with viewers, picking up eight Emmy awards including Outstanding Limited Series, as well as individual gongs for director Jean-Marc Vallee and its Oscar-winning stars Kidman and Witherspoon.<\/p>\n

As a result of its success, HBO launched production of a second season. Taking the reins from Vallee as director is Andrea Arnold, who was awarded an Oscar in 2005 for her short film “Wasp.”<\/p>\n

“Most of the cast is expected to return and negotiations are under way,” HBO added in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Big Little Lies” tells the story of three wealthy California mothers, who, behind the facade of seemingly perfect lives, are embroiled in behind-the-scenes jealousy, secrets and drama.<\/p>\n

Writer David Kelley, who also worked on the first season, “wrote beautiful scripts and Reese and Nicole were, once again, a force to be reckoned with,” said Casey Bloys, president of HBO programming.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kidman said she was “grateful to have this opportunity to keep exploring these female characters and make this series with my friends.”<\/p>\n
