The mum-of-three recently starred in HBO show Big Little Lies, a murder mystery which follows a group of parents with children in the same class at school. Opening up about the possibility of a second series on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she said: "We hope so. I mean, I feel like it's - Nicole and I produced as well, so we've been talking to the writer, Liane Moriarty, who wrote the book, about just new ideas of what these characters could do. But it seems like people just love the characters, so hopefully we can go on."
