It could be the end of the road for the Monterey Five as HBO teases the upcoming Big Little Lies season finale could be the last episode of the gripping drama. Up there with HBO’s very best shows, Big Little Lies has secured its place alongside other fan-favourites like Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, and Westworld.

Despite its relatively new status in HBO’s catalogue, Big Little Lies‘ truly astounding cast has only helped its popularity. Starring Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and even Meryl Streep, Big Little Lies is unrivalled in terms of its A-list talent. However, this apparently comes with a price when it comes to Season 3.

Speaking to TV Line, HBO President Casey Bloys says the cast is simply too busy to get them together for Season 3. He told the site: “The reality is, they are some of the busiest actresses working in Hollywood. I just think it’s not realistic.

“I love this group of people – I would do anything with them.

“We have deals with some of them — Nicole is doing her next show [The Undoing] with us.

“Look, if they all came to me and said, ‘We worked out all of our schedules!’ – then sure. But I just don’t think it’s realistic.”

Considering the cast of Witherspoon, Kidman, and Streep is rounded off by Zo� Kravitz, Laura Dern, and Shailene Woodley, it’s easy to see how getting the main players back together might be a logistical nightmare.

Elsewhere, Woodley might’ve spoiled the upcoming finale ahead of time.

Speaking on�Jimmy Kimmel Live!,�The Fault in Our Stars�actor divulged a little more of what�s to come. Kimmel joked that HBO is being so secretive, it wouldn�t even give him a clip to show from the Season 2 finale.

Woodley told him: �This whole time they�ve said don�t say anything. So people ask what the show is about and you can�t give anything away.�

Here comes the bombshell moment, she said: �But they did say I could say this: In the beginning of the next episode, it�s a little bit of a cliffhanger, but all the women go to visit Perry�s grave and his body is missing.�

Say whaaaaat?!?

Either way, Season 2 has been just as incredible, if not better than the first. Streep has added her Oscar-worthy talent to the series and there’s already some major Emmy buzz surrounding her role as the bereaved Mary Lousie Wright.
