Kelley is introducing a new female character in Season 2 to go toe-to-toe with Laura Dern’s tempestuous PTA mom. Casting is underway. Meanwhile, HBO president Casey Bloys isn’t ruling out the possibility of the Monterey-set saga going past two seasons. “We should be so lucky to continue beyond a second season,” he tells me. “We were lucky to make all the schedules work for a second season. Beyond that, who knows?” In sort of related news…

Question: Any intel on Big Little Lies Season 2? —Jacob
Ausiello: For those complaining that Zoë Kravitz’s Bonnie didn’t have enough to do the first time around, I’ve got Big news via HBO president Casey Bloys. “We’re going to get more into [Bonnie’s] family,” the exec tells me, all but confirming buzz that the series will be introducing the burgeoning character’s parents in Season 2.

Big Little Lies: Scoop on the possibility of the limited series being renewed for a second season from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Big Little Lies from this week's (Posted on 11/3/17) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: Any update on more Big Little Lies? —Geoff
Ausiello: Yes! According to EP/writer David E. Kelley, a second season of the Emmy-winning limited series is rapidly becoming less a question of if and more a question of when. “We’re kicking around ideas and trying to lasso the talent [and] get the band back together,” he shared with us last week at the TV Game Changers panel hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. “It’s just a lot of logistical things. But I’m optimistic because everyone wants to do it. We feel we still have storytelling to do. No decision has been made yet, but we’re hopeful. Where we left it, I felt like it did open the opportunity for a lot more storytelling.”

Book Review: Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty

I should probably start out this review by mentioning that Truly Madly Guilty is the first book by Liane Moriarty that I’ve ever read. Admittedly, I was somewhat hesitant to have Truly Madly Guilty be the first book by Liane Moriarty that I ever read since it has gotten a lot of mixed reviews. I had always planned on starting with her book Big Little Lies, but I ultimately decided to read Truly Madly Guilty first since it’s her most recent book. Because I’m very aware of the fact that this book has gotten a lot of mixed reviews, I went into reading Truly Madly Guilty telling myself that I shouldn’t necessarily view this book as being the sole determining factor when it comes deciding to how I feel about Moriarty’s writing in general; that being said, here are my thoughts on Truly Madly Guilty.

When I initially started reading Truly Madly Guilty, I was really enjoying it, and I honestly thought that I might end up being one of the people who loved the book. The overall premise of the book basically being about a barbecue gone wrong and how it affected the friendship between the two main characters, Clementine and Erika, really intrigued me and is what drew me to this book more than anything else. I also found the idea of what exactly happened at the barbecue being the mystery aspect of the book pretty cool. However, after a while, I definitely started to get very frustrated with how Moriarty really seemed to beat around the bush way too much when it came to a lot of the writing for the book; both when it came to how she would vaguely reference the incident at the barbecue in the chapters that took place after the barbecue and how she handled writing the chapters that took place on the day of the barbecue, but took place before the incident occurred at the barbecue. After a while, whenever a chapter would begin by indicating that it took place on the day of the barbecue, I found myself thinking, “Good lord, this sure is one long-ass day.” especially when none of the events that took place in some of those chapters was stuff that happened at the actual barbecue. The overall pacing of the plot really seemed to move at the same speed as storylines on soap operas move, which I found extremely frustrating at times.

None of the characters in Truly Madly Guilty are truly likable people, but that ultimately wasn’t the biggest complaint that I had about the book in the grand scheme of things. I’m not a person who’s necessarily completely turned off by characters in a story being unlikable, as long as the characters are intentionally being written as unlikable people, and the writing for the characters and the story overall is really good. After all, when it comes to what my favorite TV shows are, my #1 favorite comedy is It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and I’m also a huge fan of the show Seinfeld. However, I’ll admit that when it comes to Truly Madly Guilty, I did have somewhat of a hard time getting truly attached to the characters in the book. I liked Clementine and Erika as a characters, but I definitely didn’t love them, and sometimes they did kind of get on my nerves; which I think is one of the reasons why I ultimately thought that this book was good, but not great.
