The reunion comes less than a year after Kidman told Vogue Australia in January that her teen daughter, 15-year-old Sunday Rose, recently watched Big Little Lies and was ready for her to make a third season.

“She has a very good understanding of things, and life, so she was hand-held through it,” Kidman said, noting there were still scenes where she instructed the teen to look away.

“And she was like, ‘No. There’s no more discussion. The third series has to happen… I’m sick of the talk. Sick of circling it. Just get it done.’” she laughed. “You need a teenager to go, ‘Enough. Just do it.’”
