SOLVED!
UPDATED!
[Blind Gossip] This TV show was never intended to be a regular series. It was intended to be a limited series with a definitive ending.
It was such a big hit, though, that it might come back as a regular series!
Two of the stars were also producers. They’re in! The other three female stars? Well, one is a yes, one is a maybe, and one is a no.
The Yes and The Maybe want equal billing and screen time with the producers, which could be a little challenging. The No… well, she’s just a no.
She just thinks that the project has run its course and that it’s time to move on. It’s not like she hated it or anything.The project was fine and they all got along. She just knows that she’s not going to get nominated for an Emmy or anything, and there are other projects waiting for her.
Does the show need all five to return to make it work?

Big news!
Big Little Lies is coming back!
From ABC News:
‘Big Little Lies’ back for season 2 with Kidman, Witherspoon
HBO says the dark drama “Big Little Lies” is coming back for a second season.
The channel said Friday that Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon will again star and serve as executive producers of the Emmy-winning series.
The new episodes are based in part on a story by Liane Moriarty, author of the novel “Big Little Lies.”
The drama’s first-season writer, David E. Kelly, is returning to write the seven new episodes. Andrea Arnold, whose credits include “Transparent,” will direct.
HBO said the series will explore friendships, the fragility of marriage and include the potential for “emotional and bodily injury.”
The first season of “Big Little Lies” included domestic abuse and a violent death.
An air date for season two was not announced.
Now that the series is a lock for a return, the Yes, Maybe, and No women can all consider their return.
We think Zoe Kravitz is the most essential, as her character is married to Reese Witherspoon character’s ex and provides that conflict. Her schedule is fairly open.
Laura Dern is a great actor and played a great character on Big Little Lies. We’d love to see her return, but she is busy, busy, busy! Dern did five movies in 2017 and has three additional films in post-production right now.
At the time we originally wrote this, Shailene Woodley was least likely to return. Although her son on the show is the half-brother of Nicole Kidman’s sons, her character isn’t as necessary. You could slot in some other young actress to play the non-affluent newbie to juxtapose all the rich women. Woodley’s schedule is surprisingly open, though, so she might jump at the chance for a regular paycheck.
One final wish: Bring back Alexander Skarsgard!
We’re sure Perry Wright must have had a surprise twin brother somewhere. If not, how about bringing over Bill Skarsgard?
Even better, Gustav Skarsgard (Floki from Vikings)! He would be awesome in any role.
Floki in Monterey!
The entire ensemble worked well together, so it would be great to see them ALL return.
Congratulations to Realistic for being first with the correct response!
UPDATE!
Remember when Blind Gossip made one wish: To bring back the uber-talented Alexander Skarsgard for Season 2 of Big Little Lies?
Well, our wish just came true! He IS coming back!
And that’s not all!
He’s bringing Meryl Streep with him!
SAY WHAT NOW?!?!??!
It’s crazy and it’s true!
Alexander Skarsgard is coming back for several episodes… and Oscar-winner Meryl Streep will be playing his mother!
Holy cow.
It would be odd for Perry Wright to rise from the dead. Will it be the backstory of how Perry became the abuser he was? Or will he play his own secret twin brother in the present time (like we originally suggested)? Can he bring Bill and Gustav along as Perry’s brothers?
Whatever they decide to do with the plot, this is going to be awesome!
By the way, it looks like the entire original cast will be back too.
Bravo to David E. Kelly (the show’s creator), Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman (Executive Producers)! Bravo!
UPDATE!
The Yes The Maybe and The No… are now The Yes The Yes and The Yes!
Zoe Kravitz, Laura Dern, and Shailene Woodley are ALL coming back to HBO’s Big Little Lies!
They will be joining the already confirmed Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and Alexander Skarsgard, as well as newcomer Meryl Streep.
This is going to be good, folks!

Shailene Woodley
I don’t watch the show but hear some buzz surrounding it, so I don’t know who gave the best performance. Too bad none of the guys stepped it up and made this more than just a chick show. Probably why I didn’t watch it.

Shailene, don’t know.
It was a great show.. Maybe they could come up with something, but for right now, I’m with Nicole.

Sounds like This is Us. Wish they’d end it when it’s time, unlike Revenge and others.

Big Little Lies!
cuppycakes01 says
I’m guessing big little lies as the show. Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman as producers.
Shailene Woodley as the Yes.
Zoe kravitz as the Maybe
Laura Dern as the No.

Actress/Producers: Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon for Big Little Lies
The yes: Laura Dern

To be honest I don’t watch this and certainly have no idea who deserves Emmy. Maybe Nicole because I heard she gets thrown around a lot by her abusive tv husband. But I also have no idea what the other actresses do either.

sparkles34 says
Actress/Producers: Reese & Nicole for Big Little Lies
I think the yes and the maybe are Laura Dern/Zoe Kravitz and the no is Shailene Woodley. She’s already the third lead as it is, and pretty much has as much screen time as Reese and Nicole, so why would that be a stipulation?
cj2608 says
Big Little Lies
Producers: Reese and Nicole
Yes: Laura Dern
Maybe: Shailene Woodley
I’m guessing the ‘no’ is Zoe Kravitz. She had a much smaller part, and is a musician too. Probably has other stuff going on.
Whoever it was, she’s right. It was such a good miniseries. Bringing it back would cheapen the value of the original episodes. They need to let it stand on its own as a successful adaptation of a great book. Producers don’t know when to stop anymore. Not everything…

I loved the book Little Big Lies and I LOVED the show. It was perfectly cast and although all the performances were great, Nicole Kidman blew me away. She deserves ALL the awards.
DreaDay681 says
I don’t think the show needs all five. But, I don’t think they should do a 2nd season. It was perfect the way it was.

Big Little Lies. I hope it comes back!

No, Laura Dern.
Guessing.

The No: Zöe Kravitz
TeacherKat says
Producers: Reese and Nicole
The Yes: Laura
The Maybe: hmmm….Shaileen?
The No: Zoe
The maybe and no could be flipped. Not really sure.
Optional: Nicole, for sure, followed by Reese. But they were all pretty great. The casting was spot on. I’m so sad it won’t be on next Sunday! I knew the (likely) ending as I had read the book, but I was still on edge every time we saw Celest with Perry. It was just so well done. Even the kids were great!
TheSalmon says
Big Little Lies. The ending (someone, presumably the female detective, watching them thru binoculars) left it open for a sequel at least.
Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman are the two producer/stars.
I’m gonna say Yes is Zoe Kravitz and Maybe is Shailene Woodley. That would make Laura Dern the No. Possible to swap Maybe and No, except Woodley could easily be nominated for an Emmy.
It can work without all 5, but you need the big three (Witherspoon, Kidman and Woodley).
rorythedragon says
Omg, I was just wishing today that this could be a series! Big Little Lies was superbly acted and I would love to know what happens to everyone next.
Actress/ Producers: Nicole Kidman, Reese Whitherspoon
The Yes: Zoe Kravitz

The No: Laura Dern
[Optional] Which actress in this group most deserves an Emmy? It is my fervent hope that Nicole Kidman wins. That being said, I’d root for any of them.

Big Little Lies
Reese and Nicole are producers and all in..
The Yes: Zoe Kravitz…she doesn’t seem to have much else going on
The maybe: Laura Dern
The No: Shailene Woodley. Nominated for the Descendants and very passionate about her “causes”, young and more possibilities for her.
No, I don’t think the show would work without her. It’s about the balance between the privileged and the not-so-much…her character balanced the privilege.
mermaidh2 says
Optional: Nicole deserves an Emmy for smashing Skaarsgard’s prosthetic d*** with a tennis racket ?

my2centsareonlyworth2cents says
Definitely Big, Little Lies.
Actress/Producers: Reese and Nicole
Yes: Shailene Woodley
Maybe: Zoe Kravitz
No: Laura Dern
I think Laura Dern is the no because it looks like she’s been nominated for Emmys, but hasn’t won one yet. Shailene Woodley seems too young to be that worried about it and Zoe Kravitz doesn’t seem like she’s someone who would be that focused on projects based on award likelihood.
Vidalia Q Intrigue says
Big Little Lies
Producers: Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon
The Yes: Laura Dern
The Maybe: Shailene Woodley
The No: Zoe Kravitz
Just guessing on the yes/no/maybe names.
AnnieBaby says
Big Little Lies, obviously. Reese and Nicole were producers. The only one who has absolutely no awards buzz is Zoe Kravitz, so she would be no. According to iMBD Laura Dern has a couple things in production, but Shailene has nothing (yikes!). Shailene Woodley (Yes) is in need of a steady gig while Laura (Maybe) is deciding btw this and other projects?
sadlyobsidian says
Producers: Nicole Kidman, Reese WItherspoon
Yes: Shailene Woodley. She has nothing else.
Maybe: Zoe Kravitz
No: Laura Dern. She has a whole slew of projects lined up.
HotTeacher88 says
Big Little Lies. I think the Maybe is either Shailine Woodley or Nicole Kidman. Who should get the Emmy? Nicole first. Then Reese Witherspoon. Then Shailine. Then actually Eric Scarsgard or the guy who played Reese’s husband. Great show!
LolaLockdale says
Big Little Lies
Actress/Producers: Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman
Yes: Laura Dern
Maybe: Zoe Kravitz
No: Shailene Woodley
Only because Shailene is younger and has had a few minor success stories and is really just starting out her career. I don’t think she’d want to be stuck doing TV when she could be off making films.
Optional: Laura Dern deserves an Emmy, I felt like Reese was just acting like her usual self & Nicole was good just not Emmy good. Whereas Laura Dern…
kvetro60 says
Big Little Lies. I think Reese and Nichole are a go. Laura Dern is a go. Not sure about the other two

I didn’t see any Emmy worthy performances in this over hyped show.
lovefifteen says
Big Little Lies, which I really enjoyed. I don’t really know if they should try to recreate the magic though.
Producers: Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon
I’m not sure which of Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz, and Shaliene Woodley is Yes, Maybe and No.
The show could come back without Zoe Kravitz and possibly with Laura Dern, but I really can’t see it going on without Shaliene because her character was so important.
Nicole Kidman would most deserve an Emmy. She really was incredible.
ducksupreme says
Must be Big Little Lies.

Big Little Lies.
Produced by Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon (Yes) and possibly Laura Durn
Maybe Shailene Woodley (her career stalled after the Divergent series so a TV series would be helpful but still seems to want credit )
No Zoe Kravitz. She is slated for the follow up to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and as an upcoming actress between she and Shailene has the most currently promising career. She has done quite a few blockbuster movie franchises.

I would say Nicole Kidman. The rest were fantastic as well but Nicole’s therapist scenes are still embossed in my memory and will stay there for a long time. The whole dynamic opened up an entire new world for me in regard to domestic violence and how delusional its victims can be.
On a side note, I hope they don’t do season 2. Seven episodes were perfect.

whateverwillbe14 says
This is about Big Little Lies which was based off a book and was a ratings winner for HBO.
Resse/Nicole have actress/executive producer credits. The Yes seems to be Zoë. The maybe would be Laura Dern. The no is probably Shailene; which while I enjoyed her acting nothing about it was Emmy nominated nor winning.
[Optional] Nicole and Reese are the only ones who gave Emmy nominated/winning performances.
whateverwillbe14 says
No, I do not believe they need all 5 to make it work. However, if the ‘No’ portion of my guess is correct, the character is a major portion of the story and a recast might not work out.

3. No: Dern
thisisannoying says
At first I thought of riverdale because of the picture, but the details didn’t fit.
I’m guessing this is about Little Big Lies, which I haven’t watched so can’t comment on!
The No just seems like Shailene Woodley though, something about her I just can’t stand.

Doesn’t work without top 3 of R, K, S
In the book Laura’s character moved to London anyways
tracking says
Big Little Lies. Producers Witherspoon and Kidman, auto yes. Dern and Woodley are the yes and maybe. Kravitz is the no. She was very good, but not as integral to the group. Series would be fine without her. (optional: Kidman, obviously, though Witherspoon was also very good).
celebiddy says
I disagree. Zoes character is the wife of reeses ex and her daughters stepmother. She has a meaningful role in reeses’ characters life. The show wouldnt work without her character. Laura derns character on the other hand has no familial connections to the other characters and would be easier to write off the show

I think the show definitely needs Kidman and Witherspoon. I think Woodley could be written out, but it would leave a gap. Laura Dern is an acting wizard and would be great, but her character could easily be written out. Zoe Kravitz needs to be there just because of her character’s relationship to Witherspoon’s.
