Summary

Following closely on the heels of Season 2 (which premiered in December 2024), this final installment promises to tie up all loose ends and deliver a resolution to the tormented saga of Player 456, Seong Gi-hun.
The trailer opens with a palpable sense of desperation from Gi-hun, voiced through his haunting question to the masked soldiers: 'Why did you keep me alive? Why did you let me live?'

‘Big Little Lies' Creator David E. Kelley Is 'Hopeful' Season 3 Will 'Happen': 'Everyone Is Very Committed to It'
David E. Kelley is holding onto hope that Big Little Lies will return for a third season. Season two of the HBO series arrived in 2019, two years after season one debuted. It's been half a decade since the show debuted new episodes, though the series creator told People that he's 'hopeful' season three will 'happen.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Hollywood Flashback: When Paul Giamatti Was Elected to Win an Emmy George Clooney-Produced Ohio State Abuse Doc Gets Date, Trailer From HBO 'Industry' Creators on How Their Storytelling and Characters Have Evolved (in Bleepable Ways) and HBO's "Fantastic Notes" 'We're hoping it happens,' he said Monday at the Gotham TV Awards. 'We had a great time doing the first two seasons and we all want to do it again … I'm hopeful it'll happen.' Big Little Lies featured an A-list slate of stars, including Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Lauren Dern, Meryl Streep, Zoë Kravitz and Shailene Woodley. If a third season does come to fruition, Kelley noted that no one is 'under contract' at the moment, but they'd 'need to corral a lot of high-caliber talent and their publicists, but everyone is very committed to it.' Kelley praised Liane Moriarty, the author of the novel the TV series is based on, for the continued interest in the show. He also teased that Moriarty has 'written another book' that a potential next season 'will be based on.' 'I think it's a credit to Liane Moriarty, too, who wrote the original book,' he said. 'And she's written another book that season three will be based on. It's a pretty good collection of talent.' In January 2024, sources told The Hollywood Reporter stars and exec producers Witherspoon and Kidman were developing an idea for season three that they were looking forward to pitching to the network. Five months later, the actresses opened up about their hopes for a new season in an interview with Vanity Fair, somewhat indicating that a new installment was happening. 'I've got Laura [Dern] calling me and Zoë [Kravitz] and Shailene [Woodley]. They're all like, 'Nic said that we're making Big Little Lies season three?'' Witherspoon said, to which Kidman rebutted, 'But we are now! We're moving fast and furious, and Liane [Moriarty] is delivering the book.'

‘The Last of Us' Creators Confirm Kaitlyn Dever-Led Season 3: 'I Was Sure They Wouldn't Let Us Do This'
[This story contains major spoilers from season two of .] While celebrating the second season of The Last of Us at an Emmys FYC event on Tuesday, co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann offered up a few details about what's in store for season three. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Materialists' Review: Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal Bring Affecting Soulfulness to Celine Song's Perceptive Romantic Drama 'The Last of Us' Co-Creator Craig Mazin Dissects That Feared Final Moment of Season Two Ariana Grande, Pedro Pascal, Sabrina Carpenter Sign Open Letter Supporting Federal Funding for LGBTQ Youth Suicide Prevention The duo took part in two panels at the event, the first alongside cinematographer Ksenia Sereda, costume designer Ann Foley, editor Timothy Good, composer David Fleming, production designer Don Macaulay and visual effects supervisor Alex Wang. During that conversation, Mazin mused how they build these extensive, meticulous sets and 'we tend to light things on fire, smash them, tear them down' — something they may change for season three. 'It's more of a water season than a fire season,' Druckmann revealed, as Mazin confirmed, 'It's a wetter season than a hotter season.' Later, following a screening of the season's second episode, Mazin and Druckmann returned with stars Bella Ramsey, Isabela Merced, Gabriel Luna and Young Mazino, with Kaitlyn Dever appearing virtually as she's working on another project in Australia. Rob McElhenney, who repeatedly declared The Last of Us 'my favorite show on television,' moderated the conversation. Druckmann discussed how he'd been involved in several failed attempts to adapt his video game and 'I think it was good to go on that journey to end up at HBO, end up at a place that leaned into those controversial decisions, I guess,' like killing off Pedro Pascal's character Joel early in the second season. 'But the decisions are just what the story required, and even now, it's like I can't believe that they let us structure the series in this way. Meaning like we just ended season two, and season three is going to be starring — spoiler alert — Kaitlyn.' 'What?!' Dever jokingly reacted, as McElhenney teased, 'Had you closed your deal yet? You just got a ton of leverage.' Druckmann continued, 'I was sure that they wouldn't let us do this when we started adapting this, but they've leaned into what makes, I believe, the story special. And allowed us not only the time but the creative freedom to be able to take these swings, and I think the audience really appreciates that.' Dever joined the second season as Abby, a divisive character in the video games who brutally murders Pascal's beloved character. It had been speculated that the third season would shift to tell Abby's story, but had not yet been explicitly confirmed. The actress said taking part in the conversation, even remotely, 'makes me so happy to be a part of this family and to get to look forward to the journey we have ahead too.' Dever added that 'the controversy surrounding Abby was never really a concern for me, just given my first meeting with Craig and Neil and how wonderful they are and how talented they are. Getting on set, I've never felt so carried on a set in my life.' As McElhenney jokingly berated Dever for killing Pascal — 'You killed America's Sweetheart! You brutally murdered America's Sweetheart with a golf club' — Mazin explained the decision, noting, 'To invest all this time and then go away for a long time and then come back, it's even more dangerous to do what we did, and that's why I thought it should be done, because it doesn't happen enough.' 'I think plot armor is a real problem and in a show where we try and keep things as grounded as possible, and we want people to feel in real danger, then yes, sometimes the people that we can't imagine dying die,' he continued. 'Because, for me, this is not a show about revenge, it's a show about grief. Well, how are we supposed to grieve if nobody we truly, truly are invested in dies?'
