Our Dream Cast For Season 3 of "The White Lotus"!

Written by Emma Cohen. Published: April 12 2023

 

We’ve currently got some open seats onboard the plane (First Class, of course, because only the best for our guests)! The award-winning dramedy television series “The White Lotus” takes a sardonic look at the wealthy and privileged, and it has become one of the most talked-about shows in recent years. After that shocking Season 2 finale, fans already began dream-casting Season 3. The resort from Season 1 was located in Hawaii, then we jetted off to Sicily in Season 2, and Season 3 was just revealed to be in Thailand! In a clip shown after the last season finale, creator Mike White said, “I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality.”

 

Let’s take a look at the stars we want to see arrive at the next hotel for some intrigue and mystery! 

 

1. Laura Dern

Dern is currently leading the pack of candidates for our dream cast, and although we never physically saw her in Season 2, she voiced the ex-wife of Dominic Di Grasso (Michael Imperioli), who we usually heard being infuriated over the phone. Dern and White have worked together before, so we are remaining optimistic about this option!

 

2. Pamela Anderson

As we undergo the glorious resurgence of Pam Anderson, fans are obsessed with the idea of her gracing our screens in the next season of the series. While on “The Drew Barrymore Show”, she was asked about the online discussions surrounding Anderson portraying Tanya’s (Jennifer Coolidge) sister. Can you imagine anything more perfect? She said she’s “up for anything”, so here’s hoping!

 

3. Stanley Tucci 

He’s an icon, he’s a legend, and he’s one of our most versatile, adored actors. With a multifaceted body of work, including titles such as The Devil Wears Prada, Spotlight, The Hunger Games, and Easy A, we know he can bring the drama or the laughs.

 

4. Steven Yeun

Yeun excelled in films such as Minari and Nope, and his new dramedy series “Beef” is receiving rave reviews. He can truly play anything – send him to the resort and we’ll start carving his name into a Golden Globe award. 

 

5. Niecy Nash

Nash shines in everything she does, there’s no doubt about it. She could definitely bring some of her satirical “Scream Queen” magic to the resort and possibly try to solve another murder if need be. 

 

6. Danny DeVito 

It’s simply our civic duty to include him in this list; how could we not? Nobody brings whimsy and charm like DeVito.  

 

7. Ashley Park 

Our resident fashion icon from “Emily in Paris” is killing it right now, and we currently see her star in “Beef” as well as the new comedy film Joy Ride. We can picture it now: Park lounging in a floppy hat at the The White Lotus resort, drink in hand, gossiping about the *peculiar* occurrences she’s been witnessing lately. 

 

8. LaKeith Stanfield

Stanfield is a brilliant actor with an impressive range, so we know he would stand out as any character in this series. Also, Stanfield paired with any one of these stars sounds like a dream team. 

 

9. Rachel Sennott 

Sennott is another name that has been circulating quite frequently for who we want to see in the next season, and we think she would be stellar. As we saw in the slasher comedy, Bodies Bodies Bodies, she was able to take Gen-Z satire above and beyond, and we would love to see that type of audacity and nerve among the wealthy resort-goers. Also, we have to shout-out her wonderful Bodies Bodies Bodies costar, Lee Pace, who fans think would be an excellent addition to “The White Lotus” cast as well. 

 

10. Keegan-Michael Key

We all know Key is a master of comedy, but we could argue that, like Aubrey Plaza in Season 2, he would be outstanding in a dramatic role. And, of course, he could still simultaneously nail the punchline every single time.  

 

11. Lindsey Lohan

Like with Anderson, we are living for Ms. Lohan's comeback! She has proved herself to be a comedy gem, and we think it’s absolutely necessary to see her in Thailand soaking up the sun – and the drama. 

 

12. Natasha Rothwell

We all know Rothwell as Belinda from Season 1, AKA the good-natured spa manager whose dreams were built and broken by Tanya. Perhaps she takes her business to Thailand, and we get to see an epic character arc? Somebody get Mike White on the phone!

 

Who do you want to see in Season 2 of "The White Lotus"?
