Sometimes celebrities have more in common with their fans than one might think, and such is the case for Zoë Kravitz, who — like impatient HBO viewers everywhere — is “waiting by the phone” for news on the timeline for the long-anticipated third season return of David E. Kelley‘s Big Little Lies.
“I’m waiting to see, like everybody else, the third season that’s happening,” the Blink Twice director told People in a new interview. “Waiting by the phone, waiting for the script to be done.” The actress-cum-filmmaker said she knows “nothing” about the forthcoming installment but is “excited” to take part in it.
While Kravitz has yet to reunite with co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern onscreen, in the gloomy rolling hills of Big Sur, the powerhouse actresses came out to support her at the premiere for Blink Twice, held in Los Angeles at the DGA Theater on Aug. 8.

The Kimi star said she was “not surprised” the two attended the premiere, adding that it was “still just so cool that they came.” She said, “Everybody’s busy and working, and they have families, and all of that, and so I think … they don’t just talk the talk. They really show up like that, both publicly and privately.
As Deadline previously reported, hopes of a third season of the Emmy-winning series — also starring Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Meryl Streep (in the second season), Adam Scott and Alexander Skarsgård — abound, with Dern telling Entertainment Weekly earlier this year that the show’s stars are actively planning a junior installment.
“I can tell you that all of us who are involved in it would never imagine a better time,” Dern said at the time. “We love each other so much and would have the time of our life being back together, and we love our characters so much. I truly know what you know. But I know that it is something that [Witherspoon and Kidman] are working diligently at dreaming up, and I sure hope it comes to fruition.”
Last year, executive producer Kidman also renewed hopes of a third season, with a casual remark, stating, “We will be bringing you a third one, just FYI.” By now, five years have passed since the premiere of the criminal drama’s second season.
Big Little Lies unfolds the seemingly perfect lives of a group of upper-class mothers whose children are all students at a prestigious elementary school in a sleepy California seaside town.
