The TWL cast is having a good time on the set.
Summary
- Carrie Coon has been tapped to star in Season 3 of The White Lotus.
- The actress says she and her co-star are very lucky to be working on the show.
- Coon loves working with Mike White because of his incredible work ethic.
Premiering in 2021, The White Lotus was an instant hit, winning over international audiences with its hilarious portrayal of the downfalls and vices of the rich life. The anthology series, set in the resort chain of the title, has spanned two seasons, with the third installment currently filming.
Throughout its run, TWL has featured many stars, including Jennifer Coolidge, Tom Hollander, Theo James and Aubrey Plaza. Season 3 is expected to be even more star-studded as it will be led by Carrie Coon of The Gilded Age and new Ghostbusters fame.
Even though it's still over a year until Season 3 airs, there's a lot to look forward to. After all, Carrie Coon said she was amazed by the production. But while she may have meant the quality of the story, there's another reason why working on The White Lotus is such a pleasure.
The World-Class Resort Setting
Following the staff of luxury resort hotels around the world, The White Lotus has told stories set in Hawaii and Sicily. Season 3 will reportedly be set in Thailand, where another hotel in the title chain caters to its wealthy clientele.
As a result, the TWL cast actually lives in these lavish settings and experiences the perks of their characters' lifestyles. Despite the fact that Season 3 has been filming since the end of February, Carrie Coon and her many co-stars are still in awe of their good fortune. But it's not just the nice working conditions that amaze the actress. She's happy to have a job after the turmoil of the 2023 strikes.
'I think all of us in Thailand are pinching ourselves at the opportunity. We all know these are really coveted jobs. They're hard to get. There are fewer of them. The industry has contracted a little bit since the strike, so we're all aware of how fortunate we are to have a job at all,' Carrie Coon shared in a recent interview.
Mike White's Genius
In the end, nothing beats the story itself. Created by Mike White, The White Lotus has been praised for its masterful storytelling since its inception. And Carrie Coon knows how lucky she is to be working with him on the fan-favorite show.
'It's really peak TV as they say. So the really coveted thing is great writing, and Mike White certainly offers that in spades, as well as really incredible direction. He works beautifully with actors, and so I'm having a marvelous time,' the actress added.
Hopefully, we'll get a glimpse of the set in the near future. In the meantime, we can only look forward to the adventures that Season 3 of TWL will bring us.
