- HBO worked to align the schedules of Big Little Lies’ main stars so full production on the show’s third season could begin.
- Big Little Lies filmed one production day before full third-season production.
- Merrin Dungey featured in the show’s one-day production session.
- The one-day shoot was filmed specifically to keep California’s tax credit for the series.
Why it matters: HBO’s one-day shoot delivered a concrete gain by keeping the Big Little Lies California tax credit, while full third-season production still depended on coordinating the main stars’ schedules. The material distinction is that the credit was addressed through one filmed day; the larger cast-alignment task had not yet been completed.
