Season 3

As if juggling three wives weren't tricky enough, Season 3 of Big Love finds modern polygamist Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton) tackling problems outside his three-house suburban home.

Bill attempts to create some much-needed financial security by expanding from Henrickson Home Plus into Weber Gaming.

And as he continues to try and extricate himself from family and business ties to the Juniper Creek compound, he discovers that the prophet Roman Grant (Harry Dean Stanton) is difficult to elude.

The power struggles between first wife Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn), second wife Nicki (Chloë Sevigny) and third wife Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin) continue - especially regarding the possibility of adding a fourth.

And then there are the assorted family troubles he has to deal with including the growing pains of his two oldest, Sarah (Amanda Seyfried) and Ben (Douglas Smith), and the endless challenges brought on by his brother Joey (Shawn Doyle), their father Frank (Bruce Dern) and mother Lois (Grace Zabriskie) - not to mention three mothers-in-law.

Big Love continues to explore the evolving institution of marriage through this typically atypical family.

The executive producers of 'Big Love' are Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman and series creators Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer (writer of HBO's In the Gloaming), who produced the independent feature film Easter.

Big Love stars Bill Paxton, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloë Sevigny, Ginnifer Goodwin, Harry Dean Stanton, Bruce Dern and Grace Zabriskie.

Other regulars include Amanda Seyfried, Shawn Doyle, Daveigh Chase, Joel McKinnon Miller, Douglas Smith, Melora Walters and Jolean Wejbe.

Also featured are Mary Kay Place, Matt Ross and Tina Majorino.
