I'll follow Reese Witherspoon just about anywhere.Legally Blonde, Love in Fairhope, and Where the Crawdads Sing are just a few of her projects that leave me feeling totally empowered and overjoyed when I watch them. Hello Sunshine has plenty of exciting stories on the horizon, and thanks to our AMC queen Nicole Kidman, we now know that includes Big Little Lies season 3. We're ready to head back to Monterey, and we're not the only ones.

Turns out, Nicole Kidman put out feelers for Big Little Lies season 3 after watching the series with her daughter Sunday. “She was like, ‘No. There’s no more discussion. The third series has to happen…I’m sick of the talk. Sick of circling it. Just get it done,’” Nicole toldVogue Australia. “You need a teenager to go, ‘Enough. Just do it.’”

Keep reading for everything we know about Big Little Lies season 3, and everything our Monterey Five have said about it.

When is Big Little Lies season 3 coming out?

HBO

Big Little Lies Season 3 Release Date

We don't have any official news about a release date, and since season 1 and season 2 released at different points of the year, it's a bit harder to pinpoint when a new season could hit our screens. Shailene Woodley, however, did just confirm that "it's happening."

"I ran into Nicole Kidman a few months ago and I was like, 'So, what's the...' And she's like, 'It's happening,'" she told Jimmy Fallon. "I was like, 'It is? It's happening?' She's like, 'Yeah.' I was like, 'But when? How? When? Why? How?' I think it's a lot of people with a lot of schedules. And our beautiful director from season 1 [Jean-Marc Vallée] passed away, and that was really hard for everyone. So I think the whole experience has been a little bit one of trying to find all the right pieces to come together."

The Fault in Our Stars actress told Brit + Co that she's hoping to hear news sooner rather than later! "I hear the same rumors and gossip that you hear," she says. "I hope it's true. It'd be very fun."

Nicole Kidman also told Elle there IS a timeline for Big Little Lies season 3. “I think when you’re all scattered and never sort of cross paths, it’s very, very different," she says. "But when you’re all still very intertwined, that’s what makes it doable, because there’s a willingness and you want to spend time together."

In June 2024, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon revealed to Vanity Fair that (in addition to why Reese won't call Laura Dern by her first name), season 3 is coming soon! After Nicole's comments about season 3 being in the works, the cast started getting calls about it.

“I’ve got Laura [Dern] calling me and Zoë [Kravitz] and Shailene," Reese says. "They’re all like, ‘Nic said that we’re making Big Little Lies season three?'”

“But we are now!" Nicole says. "We’re moving fast and furious, and Liane [Moriarty] is delivering the book. Yeah, and we’re in good shape.”

Big Little Lies Season 3 Cast

The Big Little Lies cast is almost too good to be true. In addition to Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Zoë Kravitz, Laura Dern, and Shailene Woodley, the show has starred Kathryn Newton, Meryl Streep, Alexander Skarsgård, and Adam Scott.

Shailene revealed just how close she's gotten with her costars, telling Bustle there's "zero animosity between Laura and I."

"There't not even a hint of that, like, behind-the-veil, female curiosity, rage, jealousy, all the stuff that can happen between women, we have none of that," she says. "And so it was just a fun little boogie we got to jump into and explore all of those different colors together."

What is Big Little Lies season 3 about?

HBO

Big Little Lies Season 3 Plot

Shailene Woodley told Bazaar how excited she is to explore the show's characters that are a little more grown up now. "I think what excites me about the possibility of a third season, more than what I could think of with Jane, is the fact that these children [on the show] are not children anymore. They’re teenagers now!" she says. "Their voices have dropped, they all have their teenage situation happening, and the angst is kicking in, and that, to me, is what is exciting about the possibility of a third season. What does life look like for those people who are not children anymore?"

Will there be a season 3 of Big Little Lies?

HBO

It looks like yes, there will be a Big Little Lies season 3! During the CME Group Tour Championship, Nicole Kidman talked about her involvement in the series.

"I loved Big Little Lies," she said during a Q&A (shared in an Instagram story by Deux Moi). "It sort of came along at a time in my life when I had my children and I was thinking I was going to retire. And then this situation came along, where Reese Witherspoon and I were able to produce that show and create that show. And then all of you watched it and made it a massive success...And we will be bringing you a third one, just FYI."

Laura Dern is also ready to do do Big Little Lies season 3! "Well, let's just say we're best friends in art and in life," Laura tells TODAY. "And there would be nothing more fun for all of us. You know, we would have the time of our lives."

What happened at the end of Big Little Lies season 2?

Hilary Bronwyn Gayle/HBO

To put it simply, Big Little Lies season 2 ended in pure chaos. Each of the Monterey Five have their own singular victories — Bonnie lets go of her husband and makes peace with her mother, Celeste gets full custody of her kids, and Madeline renews her vows to Ed — before they walk into the police station together. We're guessing it's so Bonnie can confess to her role in Perry's death, but it looks like we'll have to wait for season 3 to find out. One surprising detail about the end of season 2, however, is what didn't happen.

"There was someone that was supposed to die," Zoë Kravitz revealed to Vanity Fair in 2020. "It wasn’t me, but I don’t know what I’m allowed to say, so I don’t know. But someone did die. But I think the way we ended the season was obviously really intriguing, but also everyone got to come together and I think that felt important to everybody." Because that death didn't happen, it would only make sense for it to have gotten pushed to season 3...right?

How many seasons of Big Little Lies are there?

HBO

So far there are two seasons of Big Little Lies, both of which you can watch on Max now. If you go ahead and press play, that means you'll have enough time to rewatch every episode before Big Little Lies season 3 drops. Trust me — you'll want to ;).

What town is Big Little Lies in?

HBO

Big Little Lies takes place in Monterey, California. Unlike some other series that have to shoot off location, Big Little Lies actually does film in Monterey so all of the scenes and settings are authentic!

What is the message of Big Little Lies?

HBO

Like so many of Reese Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine's projects, Big Little Lies explores a number of important and relevant issues families deal with in the real world: domestic violence, blended and single parent homes, and how far you're willing to go to protect the people you love.

Is there a spin off of Big Little Lies?

Vince Valitutti/Hulu

Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers (which is based on the book of the same name by Liane Moriarty, who also wrote Big Little Lies!) serves as a Big Little Lies reunion of sorts — the show stars Nicole Kidman as actress and executive producer, along with Big Little Lies' producers Bruna Papandrea and David E. Kelley.

Ellen Pompeo's "Disturbing" New Hulu Show Is About To Be Your New Obsession

Ellen Pompeo cemented her icon status as Meredith Grey on Grey's Anatomy, but she's about to up the ante with her new Hulu show, Good American Family. While Pompeo's most known for her medical drama prowess, this new role is still "dark and twisty" — just like Meredith would like it. From the true story this new show is based on to the star-studded cast, there's a lot to know about Pompeo's first new show since Grey's. Let's dig in!

Here's everything you need to know about Ellen Pompeo's new show, Good American Family, streaming on Hulu.

What is Good American Family about?

Hulu

Hulu's Good American Family is actually based on a true story! This show follows Christine (Ellen Pompeo, Grey's Anatomy) and Michael Barnett (Mark Duplass, The Morning Show) as they adopt a little girl with dwarfism, Natalia Grace, and the dramatic aftermath that quickly follows. From navigating Natalia's disability to potentially negating her age, Christine and Michael end up in a controversial struggle to raise their existing children, protect themselves, and move forward how they see fit.

The official logline reads:

"Told from multiple points of view, as a means to explore issues of perspective, bias, and trauma, this compelling drama is inspired by the disturbing stories surrounding a Midwestern couple who adopts a girl with a rare form of dwarfism. But as they begin to raise her alongside their three biological children, mystery emerges around her age and background, and they slowly start to suspect she may not be who she says she is. As they defend their family from the daughter they’ve grown to believe is a threat, she fights her own battle to confront her past and what her future holds, in a showdown that ultimately plays out in the tabloids and the courtroom."

Where can I watch Good American family?

Hulu

Good American Family premiered on Hulu March 19, 2025! The first two episodes are available to stream now.

  • Mark Duplass as Michael Barnett: Kristine's husband and Natalia's adoptive father.
  • Imogen Faith Reid as Natalia Grace: a little girl with dwarfism who gets adopted by Kristine and Michael.
  • Dulé Hill as Brandon Drysdale: a detective who's investigating the Barnetts
  • Christina Hendricks as Cynthia Mans: Natalia's neighbor.
  • Jerod Haynes as Antwon Mans: Christina's husband.

Who is a Good American Family based on?

Hulu

Good American Family is based on the true story of Natalia Grace Mans, who was adopted by a family in 2010, and while you could go digging through old headlines yourself, there's a highly detailed — and highly dramatic — recent documentary you can watch instead. Max released The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, a three season documentary series that's been updated as recently as January 7, 2025. I've watched every episode, and I can't recommend it more!

Where was Good American Family filmed?

Hulu

The show filmed in Santa Clarita, Los Angeles, and Long Beach, California from March to July 2024.

What are fans saying about Good American Family?

Hulu

Former Grey's Anatomyco-star Justin Chambers commented "🔥" under Vanity Fair's first look Instagram post, with fans saying everything from "I JUST FELL ON MY KNEES AT WALMART" and "SHES BAAACK" to "I really hope this film portrays what a victim Natalia truly was )):" in the comments.

Watch The Official Trailer For 'Good American Family'

10 "Outdated" Careers That Won't Be Around For Much Longer

Advancements in technology and shifting consumer behavior are constantly shaping the job market and causing it to evolve. So, some careers that have stood the test of time are becoming obsolete and facing numbered days.

Whether we like it or not, here are 10 outdated careers that may soon be a thing of the past because emerging fields are paving a new way forward.

Scroll to see which outdated careers might disappear sooner rather than later...

1. Warehouse Workers

EqualStock IN

Warehouse jobs, particularly those in large distribution centers for companies like Amazon, are at high risk of being replaced by automation. With the development of AI and advanced robots, companies are looking to automate tasks like order fulfillment, inventory management, and packaging.

Automation offers the advantage of 24/7 operation without the need for breaks or sleep, making it more efficient than human labor. Leaders like Elon Musk have acknowledged that making a full switch will be challenging. Nonetheless, the shift toward technology-driven warehouses is undeniable, and many traditional jobs will likely be transformed or phased out.

2. Librarians

Tima Miroshnichenko

Being a librarian was once viewed as a vital and secure profession. Now, digital tech has changed the way we access information, and with the rise of e-books, audiobooks, and online databases, fewer people are relying on physical libraries for their reading and research needs.

Plus, as books become more affordable and accessible, the traditional library model, which is centered around physical book rentals, is becoming less relevant. So, even though it's unlikely that libraries are going to disappear entirely, the role of librarians may shift toward digital management and online services.

3. Ride-Share Drivers

cottonbro studio

Drivers for taxi companies, as well as ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft, are facing an uncertain future as autonomous vehicles become more advanced. Self-driving cars, which are powered by artificial intelligence, are set to revolutionize the transportation industry and possibly eliminate the need for human drivers.

These vehicles will use apps to identify riders, calculate fares, and complete payments, all without any human intervention. This means the role of the traditional ride-share driver may no longer be necessary.

4. Customer Service Reps

Mart Production

AI and chatbots are increasingly replacing customer service representatives, too, as they're capable of handling a wide range of inquiries and issues. These AI-driven systems may offer faster and more efficient solutions and, in turn, eliminate long wait times for customers trying to speak to a human representative.

This, coupled with the fact that chatbots can operate 24/7, will help companies streamline their operations and cut costs. That's why many customer service roles are already being phased out.

5. Legal Secretaries

August de Richelieu

Even legal secretaries are facing threats due to AI-powered tools, which can handle tasks like legal research, document drafting, and contract management. These technologies are automating a lot of the routine work that once required humans and reducing the demand for legal secretaries in law firms.

Now, this role probably won't be completely replaced by AI. Even so, the automation of basic functions could still lead to lower overall staffing needs, particularly for paralegals and junior legal assistants.

6. Cashiers

Andrea Piacquadio

Walk into your local supermarket, and you'll see that technology has already begun to take over traditional checkout processes. With the rise of self-checkout kiosks, mobile payment options like Apple Pay, and even cryptocurrency transactions, the need for human cashiers is steadily decreasing.

Retailers like Amazon have already introduced cashier-free convenience stores, and other companies may follow in their footsteps.

7. Referees

Pixabay

Not even sports fields seem to be safe from the rise of AI. In fact, referees are increasingly being sidelined as technology takes a more prominent role in officiating sports.

Systems like goal-line technology and Video Assistant Referee (VAR) have already proven that AI can make more accurate and unbiased calls than humans. Another appeal of automated officiating lies in its ability to reduce controversial decisions that spark arguments among players, coaches, and fans.

8. Translators

Ketut Subiyanto

As AI-powered translation tools become more sophisticated, translators are facing stiff competition, too. These systems, which were once limited to basic word-for-word translation, are getting better at understanding context, tone, and nuance.

The improvement of machine learning will also allow for vast amounts of text across various languages to be processed simultaneously, increasing its accuracy. So, the demand for traditional translation services is expected to decline in the wake of faster and cheaper AI solutions.

9. Computer Programmers

Julio Lopez

AI-driven coding tools are advancing as well. Automated programming assistants and open-source AI libraries are streamlining many routine coding tasks, like debugging, code generation, and even basic software development.

Skilled developers will likely still be needed for complex problem-solving and other, more creative software design projects. But, developers whose roles focus on repetitive tasks may see reduced demand.

10. Dispatchers

Mart Production

Finally, human dispatchers may gradually be replaced by AI systems that can manage logistics, emergency responses, and customer inquiries. Things like advanced GPS tracking, automated scheduling, and real-time data processing allow AI to handle dispatch tasks with little human help.

Some cities have already implemented AI for non-emergency calls, slashing the need for human operators on the other end of the phone.

Ellen Pompeo Cried "Full On Tears" During This 'Grey's Anatomy' Sex Scene: "Nightmare"

There are plenty of crazy moments through Grey's Anatomy history. Izzy cutting Denny's LVAD wire in season 2, Meredith learning Derek and Addison were married at the very end of season 1, and of course, the overall decision to kill Derek by having him "stop perpendicular on a curved road to reach for his phone," according to one BuzzFeed comment that made me laugh. But there's one insane moment that actress Ellen Pompeo still hasn't watched: Meredith and George (TR Knight) sleeping together in season 2.

Here's why Ellen Pompeo said Meredith Grey and George O'Malley's love scene in Grey's Anatomy season 2 was a "nightmare."

Ellen Pompeo cried "real tears" during her sex scene with TR Knight.

The scene comes in season 2 episode 18 "Yesterday" and 19 "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" (or rather, in between them), when George and Meredith decide to sleep together...then Meredith changes her mind and George gets all offended.

“TR and I are such good friends," Ellen Pompeo tells Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper. "We had to do a love scene and we were both crying." After revealing “the scene was so uncomfortable and awkward" because neither of them wanted to film it, they had to reshoot the scene because "the network said there was too much thrusting." Yep, you read that right.

“In your worst nightmare to have to do it one time, we had to reshoot that sh—t. We had to reshoot it and do it twice," Ellen continues, revealing that she's "never seen it."

"I'm full on in tears, the whole entire scene,” she says. “Those are real tears.”

Every Call Her Daddy episode causes major buzz in our Brit + Co group chat, and this one was no exception.

"[George] knew she was vulnerable about her situation with Derek and not interested but when she told him she wanted to, he didn’t stop it because HE knew he had feelings for her," B+C's Melanie Cornejo said. "Very weird thing to do to your best friend."

"He’s definitely irritating in a lot of ways," editor Haley Sprankle adds. She adds that writing the love scene into the show "was definitely a weird choice especially because George is so good!!!!"

Other Grey's Anatomy viewers agree the scene aged horribly, especially considering "George even admitted it himself later in the series, Meredith was drunk and sad and he wanted his fantasy of her to come true...He kinda took advantage. I really dislike how everyone acted, as if Meredith had assaulted him," according to one YouTube user in the comments of the scene.

"I get that it wasn't a good idea for her to sleep with George, since she knew he had a giant puppy crush on her and she didn't have those emotions yet, but seriously, making a woman feel like sh—t because she changed her mind about sex? The whole thing always makes me feel so gross to watch." starsstripessparkles adds on Reddit. And yeah, I have to agree.
