Overview
- Liane Moriarty announces Big Little Truths for Aug. 25 release in the U.S., with HELLO! reporting a U.K. publication date of Aug. 27.
- The novel is set ten years later, shifting focus to the now-teenage children, with the plot kicked off by a severed finger mailed to the school principal.
- Moriarty confirms the book will serve as source material for Season 3 of the television series, with separate reporting indicating filming is expected to begin soon.
- The author says she was very hands off with the show and that the TV team had no input into the new book’s plot or direction.
- Key divergences from the series remain, including the Australian setting and an additional child for Madeline, though Moriarty says TV performances—especially Laura Dern’s—shaped some character emphasis.
