One 'Big Little Lies' Character Was Supposed to Die in the Finale

If you watched the Big Little Lies finale, you know that no characters die before, during, or after Celeste’s courtroom battle with Mary Louise Wright.

Actress Poorna Jagannathan, who portrayed the lawyer representing Nicole Kidman‘s Celeste in court, revealed that her version of the script had someone dying at the end.

“I read the script and I watched [the season finale] episode and I was like, ‘Oh my god there might be a season three!’ ” Poorna said on Vanity Fair’s Still Watching podcast. “It’s not the script I got!”

She continued, “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.”

Poorna declined to name which character met her demise.

We didn’t think a third season was realistic, based on some recent comments, but maybe there’s hope with this new development!
