He’s keeping viewers on their toes.
Mike White, who’s the creator of the hit HBO series, “White Lotus,” revealed that he’s open to having an “all-stars” season of the show, bringing together characters from the several seasons into one.
“It might be easy to only be full-on anthology, but I believe it’s more fun to have little threads through the show,” White told The Hollywood Reporter this week in regards to the series moving from being a “limited series” to a drama.
He continued, “If the show goes on for a few seasons, it will be fun to have an all-star season.”
Nonetheless, White explained that he doesn’t wish to limit himself to only one sort of plot line – explaining that it could potentially go in all different sorts of directions.
“There are such a lot of ways in which we wish to reinvent the show annually,” he told the outlet.
“Like, what is that this show — apart from people? A fresh mystery, people perhaps expect that. But I don’t feel constrained by expectation. It’s fun.”
In July 2021, the primary season of “White Lotus” made its debut on HBO, and was met with a giant response from fans and an audience of 1.9 million across “linear and digital platforms” for the finale, in response to Variety.
The show, which featured star actors like Jennifer Coolidge, Aubrey Plaza and Lukas Gage, is ready in numerous locations for its different seasons.
Coolidge even won an Emmy Award in 2022 for her portrayal of the enduring character Tanya during season 1.
The primary season was set in Hawaii, because it documented different characters and employees staying on the fictional White Lotus resort chain over the span of 1 week – leaving a really surprising ending.
“As darker dynamics emerge with each passing day, the six-episode first season regularly reveals the complex truths of the seemingly picture-perfect travelers, cheerful hotel employees, and idyllic locale itself,” the show’s description reads.
The second season, which debuted in October 2022, was set in Sicily, Italy, bringing together a mix of recent and old characters.
In accordance with The Hollywood Reporter, the third season was rumored to be filmed in Thailand, however it’s currently on hold as a result of the continued Writers Guild of America strike.
While chatting with Entertainment Weekly last yr, Coolidge admitted that White was capable of use some elements of her own personality to shape the character.
The 2 have been friends since meeting on the set of “Gentlemen Broncos” in 2009.
“Mike is sitting there, he’s this sensible mind, and he’s just observes people,” Coolidge recalled on the time. “He was observing my naïveté with loads of my male relationships and saw how I just believed people in a really naive way.”
The 61-year-old actress continued, “Sometimes it’s good because, definitely I’m not discriminating of anyone in any way, but I kind of open the door and sometimes my realization of who someone was and what their intentions are are very slow.”
