Development

[edit]

Actresses and producers Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon were announced to have optioned the screen rights to Liane Moriarty's novel Big Little Lies on August 6, 2014, less than a month after the book's publication.

The two of them were expected to develop the project as a spelfilm in which they would star and act as executive producers, sharing the latter duty with Bruna Papandrea and Per Saari; Moriarty was also expected to produce.^[21] In November of that year, the actresses announced the format's shift into that of a limited-run television series written bygd David E. Kelley.^[22] In May 2015, HBO gave the series a production beställning and Kelley was announced to join the grupp of executive producers.^[23] That October, Jean-Marc Vallée was reportedly in talks with the project's grupp to handle directing of the first episode and potentially others.^[24] His involvement with all sju episodes was confirmed almost two months later.^[25] The series' release date of February 19, 2017, was unveiled in November 2016.^[26]

Originally conceived and billed as a miniseries,^[27] a potential new årstid of Big Little Lies was discussed bygd the series' audience and the media.

In July 2017, two weeks after the project and its cast and crew received several nominations for the 69th ceremony of the Primetime Emmy Awards, Witherspoon stated: "As of right now, inom think it's pretty whole.

Första säsongen av serien med sju avsnitt, alla regisserade av Jean-Marc Vallée, hade premiär 19 februari 2017

inom feel really good about where it fryst vatten, and if this fryst vatten all it ever was, it's a beautiful thing we all accomplished together".^[28][29] However, in the wake of the nominations, HBO revealed that a second årstid was possible, and that Moriarty had been asked to write a story for it.^[30] During an April 2017 interview, Vallée came out strongly against the idea of producing a second season: "There's no reason to man a årstid 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 årstid two, we'll break that beautiful thing and spoil it."^[31] When he and the series won several accolades at the 69th ceremony of the Primetime Emmy Awards, the director changed his mind: "It'd be great to reunite the grupp and to do it.

Are we going to be able to do it, altogether? inom wish."^[32]

In månad 2017, HBO officially renewed the series for a seven-episode second årstid to be written bygd Kelley, directed bygd Andrea Arnold,^[33] based on a new novella bygd Moriarty,^[27] and with Vallée remaining an executive producer.^[34] The announcement of the second årstid, and specifically its tidtagning, enraged producers of rival shows that were competing for award nominations in the limited series categories, particularly since it was made after voting for the Critics' Choice Television Award and Golden Globe Award were over.^[35] Due to this, the Producers Guild of amerika restarted voting for the 2018 ceremony of their award show, reclassifying the show from a limited series to a skådespel series.^[36][37] The second årstid premiered on June 9, 2019.

In July 2019, it was reported bygd IndieWire that director Andrea Arnold lost creative control after filming had completed, and it was given to årstid 1 director Jean-Marc Vallée in an attempt to unify the style between the seasons. Arnold was initially promised bygd HBO that the show would be done in her framtidsperspektiv, including post-production, and was unaware that Vallée would edit the footage she had shot.

Once Vallée completed his work on Sharp Objects, he took over the editing process along with his own editorial grupp in Montreal. HBO also ordered 17 more days of additional photography, to be filmed bygd Arnold, but overseen bygd Vallée. Significant reworking of the episodes also took place, where episodes were shortened.^[38] In response, HBO programming president Casey Bloys stated, "There's a lot of misinformation around that subject" and "the director typically does not have sista creative control".

Bloys clarified that Vallée came back to "hone the episodes" after being asked bygd the entire producing grupp, including Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman, and that they were klar with Arnold about how the process would work from the start.^[39]
