“I read the script and I watched yesterday’s episode and I was like, ‘Oh my god there might be a season three!’ ” she said onVanity Fair’sStill Watchingpodcast. “It’s not the script I got!”
In fact, Jagannathan said, “One character doesn’t even make it. One character dies. It’s a different script. This version left the door open on something I thought was definitely closed.”

“I would have taken this role no matter what,” she said.
Season 2 ofBig Little Liesended with Celeste (Nicole Kidman) coming out victorious in her custody battle against her mother-in-law (Meryl Streep). But before the viewers had to long to celebrate, they were hit with a major cliffhanger. In the last moments of the episode, the Monterey Five walked into the town’s police station together, presumably to come clean about their role in Perry’s (Alexander Skarsgard) death.

The glitzy thriller, based on Liane Moriarty’s 2014 novel, has not yet been renewed for a third season.
Earlier this month, Kidmansaid she’d be open to exploring the idea of another season.
“I think we would love to do a season three because there is certainly ideas,” Kidman, 52, toldNews Corp Australia. “But we would not do it without all of the same people involved … even the kids.”
“I love this group of people — I would do anything with them,” he said. “But the reality is, they are some of the busiest actresses working in Hollywood. We have deals with some of them — Nicole is doing her next show [The Undoing] with us. I just think it’s not realistic. Look, if they all came to me and said, ‘We worked out all of our schedules!’ — thensure. But I just don’t think it’s realistic. … Season 2 was a chance for everyone involved to end [the franchise] in a way that feels satisfying.”
