Production
Development
On August 6, 2014, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon were announced to have optioned the screen rights to Liane Moriarty's novel Big Little Lies. The actresses were expected to develop the project as a film in which they would both star. Bruna Papandrea and Per Saari were set to executive produce alongside Kidman and Witherspoon. Moriarty was also expected to produce.[20] On November 25, 2014, Kidman and Witherspoon announced they had decided to develop the project into a limited television series instead of the originally planned film. Additionally, the television series would be written by David E. Kelley.[21] On May 8, 2015, HBO had given the production a series order and that in addition to writing, Kelley would also executive produce.[22] On October 23, 2015, Jean-Marc Vallée was reported to be in talks to direct the first episode of the series with the potential to direct more.[23] On December 17, 2015, it was announced that Vallée would direct all seven episodes of the series.[24] On November 28, 2016, the series was set to premiere on February 19, 2017.[25]
The show was initially conceived of and billed as a miniseries[26] of seven episodes. In the wake of the Emmy nominations, Reese Witherspoon said: "As of right now, I think it's pretty whole. I feel really good about where it is, and if this is all it ever was, it's a beautiful thing we all accomplished together",[27] while Vallée came out strongly against the idea of producing a second season: "There's no reason to make a season two. 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".[28] Later, when the show garnered an array of critical accolades, he changed his mind: "It'd be great to reunite the team and to do it. Are we going to be able to do it, altogether? I wish."
