At the same premiere, Kelley also spoke about reuniting with Kidman, 58, on ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’, describing it as “a little bit of luck.”“There’s a lot of people dying to work with Nicole,” he said. “She’s obviously a gifted actress. The fact that we’ve worked together in the past gave us an inside track, I guess, on this project.” He added that her character in the new show is “a completely different role for her.”“When I told her what it was, I half expected her to laugh and say, ‘You’re kidding,’ but instead she jumped in and said, ‘Let’s go for it!’ And that’s a testament to her, her spirit and her creative ferocity,” Kelley said.‘Big Little Lies Season 3’ does not yet have a confirmed premiere date.
