why Big Little Lies season 3 wouldn't happen, but that did not dash hopes for the show to come back for a third season. It seems like Big Little Lies has explored all avenues, but there are still some questions that need to be answered in the potential third season.
Nicole Kidman confirmed that Big Little Lies season 3 will happen, but so far, HBO has not yet made any announcements or confirmed that what Kidman said is true. Big Little Lies was canceled after season 2, but that does not mean that the story should be over, especially because of its popularity. It's still unclear what the third season of the show will be about or which of the cast will be returning, but there are several different directions the show could take. Depending on what approach it offers, Big Little Lies season 3 should provide an opportunity to please its fanbase with a satisfying storyline.
10 Mary Louise Should Get Her Own Storyline
Mary Louise Is A Compelling Character
If Big Little Lies season 3 were to continue the story from where season 2 ended, then Mary Louise deserves to have her time in the spotlight. The first two seasons of the show focused mostly on Perry Wright. Big Little Lies season 1 was a build-up to his death, with season 2 exploring the aftermath of it. Seeing as Perry was a huge part of the plot, it would be important to show how he grew up, and Mary Louise is a significant part of that.
Aside from her connection with Perry, Mary Louise is a compelling character. Granted, she is not always easy to like, but it's hard not to sympathize with her, especially because both of her sons died. Big Little Lies season 3 could get into the aftermath of Mary Louise's legal battle with Celeste and how that affects their already fragile relationship. The third season could also show the role that Mary Louise will have in Ziggy and Jane's life. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to see more of the brilliant Meryl Streep.
9 Renata Needs To Make A Comeback
Renata Should Move On
In Big Little Lies season 2, Renata's husband, Gordon, lost both his and Renata's money after getting involved in some shady business that led to his arrest. Renata not only lost her money and her cover for one of the most popular business magazines, but she found out Gordon was having an affair with their nanny. Big Little Lies season 3 is a chance for Renata to move on from Gordon, restore her reputation, and get the money that Gordon lost back. Renata has also struggled with being a working mom, but she has a chance to be more involved in Amabella's life now that there's no nanny to help her out.

The original cast of Big Little Lies featured an incredibly talented ensemble. However, the show is in need of fresh faces to keep it interesting.

Big Little Lies season 3's cast could have new moms and students Monterey so that they could add a fresh perspective and complexity to the story.
7 Celeste Should Get Her Act Together
Celeste Needs To Work Harder At Getting Better
Celeste has been through a lot. Her husband abused her emotionally and physically, then her mother-in-law tried to take her kids away from her. After Perry died, Celeste engaged in some dubious behavior, including having violent sexual relationships with random men. Even though Celeste is in therapy, she still has a lot to deal with and Big Little Lies season 3 will be a chance for her to work these issues out onscreen. Celeste should focus more on stopping her self-destructive behavior and getting her children the help they need to deal with Perry's death.
6 Jane Needs To Get Psychological Help
Jane Should Get Help For Her Trauma
Like Celeste, Jane has been a victim of Perry's abuse. Before Jane had Ziggy and moved to Monterey, Perry had sexually assaulted her. In Big Little Lies season 3, Jane needs to seek psychological help for the trauma the sexual assault caused her.

Nathan and Ed have a complicated relationship. Ed is jealous of Nathan because of Madeleine's complicated feelings for him. However, they need to work on their relationship for Abigail's sake because the tension between them does her no good. Ed might have told Nathan they should just continue disliking each other, but that is hardly the best solution to their predicament. It's in Abigail's best interest that they set their differences aside and fix their relationship.
4 Madeleine Needs To Stop Being Selfish
Madeleine Needs To Grow As A Character
Since Big Little Lies season 1, Madeleine has been completely selfish. She got into a feud with Renata when she shouldn't have, she had an affair with Joseph, and she kept forcing Abigail to go to college when she didn't want to. Even after she found out about Celeste's abuse by Perry's hand, she made the situation about her when it wasn't. Madeleine needs to go through some character growth because so far, this aspect of her character has never waned. Her relationship with Ed might have improved at the end of Big Little Lies season 2, but chances are she will make the same mistakes if she doesn't learn from her mistakes.
3 Big Little Lies Season 3 Should Explore A New Storyline
Big Little Lies Season 3 Needs To Focus On A New Story
Big Little Lies season 2 ended with the Monterey Five turning themselves in to the police for their involvement in Perry's death. Seeing as the storylines were exhausted in the first two seasons, it's hard to determine where the third season of the show could go. Big Little Lies season 3 should feature a new storyline that will add a new layer to the show. The third season of the series could have a new mystery that does not involve Perry. Alternatively, Big Little Lies season 3 could show the aftermath of the Monterey Five's confession to the police and whether they'll get arrested or not.
2 Big Little Lies Season 3 Should Show Jane Thriving
Jane Deserves To Be Happy
When Jane showed up in Moneterey, she had to deal with Ziggy having difficulties at school, then later contend with finding out Perry was the one who sexually assaulted her.

Big Little season 3 is a chance for Jane to be happy without encountering all the problems she has faced since moving to Monterey. She might have new friends, but Corey could be integral in being a source of comfort for Jane.
1 Bonnie's Backstory Should Be Explained
Bonnie's Backstory Needs More Details
The question about who Bonnie really is needs to be answered in Big Little Lies season 3, especially because she was the one who pushed Perry down the stairs. So far, her complicated relationship with her mother has been featured on the show, but there might be more to Bonnie than what has already been revealed. Bonnie's father was there when her mom was abusing her, but it wasn't explained as to why he didn't get involved. Big Little Lies season 3 could show the disintegration of Bonnie and Nathan's relationship, more so because she decided to end things with him when they seemed happy in Big Little Lies season 1.
