Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon have confirmed that they are actively working on a third season of "Big Little Lies," with author Liane Moriarty delivering the book. The cast, including Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley, are eager to return, and the team is moving quickly to develop new episodes.
Showrunner Melanie Marnich discusses the adaptation of Liane Moriarty's "Apples Never Fall" for Peacock, emphasizing the complexities of family dynamics and the love-hate relationships within. She explains changes made from the book, including added storylines and altered character arcs, and highlights the importance of ending the series on a touching note.

"Apples Never Fall," a new TV series based on Liane Moriarty's novel, breaks the recent cold streak of Moriarty adaptations with a propulsive and engaging family mystery. Led by Annette Bening, the show follows the sudden disappearance of Joy Delaney and the impact on her family, blending sensational twists with emotional depth. While the resolution may not fully satisfy, the series offers a scenic and speedy ride through Florida country clubs and buried family secrets, now available to stream on Peacock.
Showrunner Melanie Marnich details the process of adapting Liane Moriarty's "Apples Never Fall" for Peacock, emphasizing the need to separate the project from Moriarty's previous work, including "Big Little Lies." Starring Annette Bening, the series revolves around the disappearance of a matriarch and the impact on her family. Marnich praises Bening's performance and discusses the challenge of adapting the book into a TV series with multiple timelines and character viewpoints. The show is set to compete at Series Mania and has garnered significant attention for its high-profile cast and compelling storytelling.
"Apples Never Fall" is the latest example of a trend in overcrowded Emmy-bait miniseries featuring A-list stars, such as Annette Bening, Sam Neill, and Alison Brie, in literary adaptations aiming for awards recognition but often failing to make a lasting impact. The show, based on a Liane Moriarty novel, struggles to balance its mix of light comedy, social commentary, and darker mystery, resulting in an unremarkable viewing experience despite solid performances. The miniseries is set to stream on Peacock from March 14, adding to the growing list of forgettable projects vying for attention during the Emmy eligibility period.
