The author behind the best-selling book that inspired HBO's Big Little Lies has officially announced a new sequel, Big Little Truths, set to hit bookshelves later this year.
Big Little Truths Will Provide the Season 3 Plot—But With a Twist
The hit show—starring Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoe Kravtiz—premiered in 2017, followed by its second season in 2019. (Moriarty previously wrote an unpublished novella to serve as the basis for Season 2 of the series.)
But there's a twist with Moriarty's upcoming novel, in that it will feature a major time jump, taking place 10 years after the original story.

"In the first book, the parents at the school, they provide the Greek chorus explaining the action and what happened," Moriarty told the outlet. "In this book, the teenagers − the kids − are the Greek chorus. So they're being interviewed about what happened. So the first thing that happens is they say, 'Well, it all began at Madeline's 50th birthday.'"
