Following a bidding war with Netflix, HBO has landed David E. Kelley’s Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman limited series Big Little Lies, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Based on Liane Moriarty’s book Big Little Lies, Kelley penned the script for the limited series — which was taken out to premium cablers and streaming services in November.
Published in July, Kidman and her Blossom Films banner, as well as Witherspoon and her Pacific Standard shingle, optioned the rights to the No. 1 New York Times best-seller as a potential starring feature film in August.
