The series, which features an ensemble cast including Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and Meryl Streep, has been on hiatus since its second season concluded in 2019.

Kelley revealed that a potential third season would be based on a new book by author Liane Moriarty, whose novel inspired the original series.

"She's written another book that season three will be based on," he said, praising Moriarty's contribution to the show's continued interest.
