Laura Dern Says 'There's Talk' About 'Big Little Lies' Season 2

HBO

Laura Dern is further fueling the “Big Little Lies” rumor mill, saying that “there’s talk” about a second season.

“There’s talk! There’s questions, there’s asking! There’s curiosities, so it would certainly be a pleasure to get to do it more,” Dern told Us Weekly.

Dern, who played Renata Klein on the hit HBO series, said she’d be especially down for another season if costars Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley are game as well.

“If they are! I mean, I love my character so much, so it would be a blast,” Dern added.

After the TV series based on Liane Moriarty’s book of the same name aired its shocking finale, fans were begging for a second season. And at the beginning of April, Witherspoon said she’s been talking to the writer and urged fans to Facebook Moriarty to tell her how much they want to see “Big Little Lies 2.”

“One of the main questions everyone keeps asking us is is there going to be a Season 2,” Witherspoon said in a Facebook Live chat in April. “We’ve been talking with the writer, and you guys should Facebook Liane Moriarty and tell her how much you want to see ‘Big Little Lies 2.’ That would be good. She’s thinking about ideas, and so we would love to hear ideas.”

Moriarty later confirmed that the producers have approached her and that she’s been trying to come up with ways to continue the story. Witherspoon further ignited the rumors when she posted an Instagram with Dern and Kidman last week, captioning the image, Spending #SundayFunday with these ladies … working on some new lies.”

Kidman has also said she wants another season. However, director Jean-Marc Vallee shut down the idea of continuing the series in multiple interviews since the finale.

“No, no, this is the perfect ending,” he insisted in an interview with Vulture. “There is no way; there’s no reason to make a Season 2. That was meant to be a one-time deal, and it’s finishing in a way where it’s for the audience to imagine what can happen. If we do a season two, we’ll break that beautiful thing and spoil it.”

HBO's limited series "Big Little Lies" ended with the climactic murder resolved in Sunday night's finale, but that didn't mean it all tied up in a neat bow. Click through to explore the storylines that didn't get resolved:
HBO
Madeline never told Ed she cheated on him.

In the second-to-last episode, Reese Witherspoon's character came close to 'fessing up about her affair with community play director Joseph Bachman (Santiago Cabrera). But, alas, Ed's (Adam Scott's) big reaction scene may never come to pass. Plus, in the finale, there's a scene with Joseph and Madeline fighting. Does Joesph still love Madeline? Tori (Joseph's wife, played by Sarah Sokolovic) obviously knows it's her who he had the affair with, but the two never face off again.

We didn't get to see enough of Jane and Tom.

Jane (Shailene Woodley) and coffee guy Tom (Joseph Cross -- who, surprise, isn't gay) have a twisted first date at the big costume gala, and we see Jane crying into his arms after the murder. But will the duo get together for real? Can Jane trust a man again? We might have to use our imaginations.
HBO
Amabella and Max are suddenly BFFS at the beach.

One of the biggest questions on the show--who was hurting Amabella?--was answered in the finale. It was Max, one of Celeste's (Nicole Kidman's) twin boys. The two kids are seen playing on the beach with all of the others as if nothing ever happened. Also, how did the teacher really never notice?
HBO
Madeline convinced Abigail to quit her "project," but the parenting squad is still at odds.

Nathan still can't shake his need to be better than Ed (Adam Scott) at Elvis impersonations, and Bonnie (Zoë Kravitz) and Ed can't shake their awkward run-ins. (Ed accidentally spilled a drink on her dress.) But Bonnie and Madeline (Reese Witherspoon) seem to be friends now that they witnessed a murder together. Is Abby (Kathryn Newton) happy still living with her dad Nathan (James Tupper) and Bonnie, or does she miss living with her ma Madeline and hubby Ed?
HBO
The detective kept clicking her Zippo.

The dark fairytale ending played out on a sunny Monterey beach with all the leading ladies and their children playing in idyllic fashion. But one thing is left unanswered as Detective Adrienne Quinlan (Merrin Dungey) looks on, clicking that lighter, suspecting a coverup. If there is indeed a Season 2, the murder case is still, most definitely, wide open.

But wait, was that Skarsgard's real penis?

More of a fan curiosity than a plot hole, we still don't know whether that was Alexander Skarsgard's real penis in Episode 6: "Burning Love."
