If it has to be a returning character, then Greg obviously. We need to know what happened to the poor widower.

Spoiler: in the extras the show writer said he's working on it being themed on death, taking place in south Asia, and possibly following Portia as she unravels Tanya'a death.

Laura Linney would make a great guest, or invert the trope and make her the resort manager.

Not sure who I’d pick but hopefully an entirely new cast. I could see Kristen Bell nailing the comedic timing playing one of the rich asshole guests. Season 2 was so goofy by the end with the murder plotline my biggest hope is that it’s not revisited at all.

Honestly for as important as sexual relations are to the plot of White Lotus, and it being a hit HBO show, there really aren’t as many sex scenes/nudity as I would have expected. Alexandra Daddario and Sydney Sweeney were criminally underused!

I know it probably won’t happen and that their story is probably done but I really loved the 2 couples, Harper and Ethan /Daphne and Cameron. Maybe this could be their “next year trip”. Other than that Portia would be fun if she took a trip with Albie.

I'd like to see a return to something meaningfully recognizable as satire. I just don't think the show is actually smart or focused enough to say things about topics as big as sexuality and human nature. The whole "sexy murder mystery" thing is the sort of stuff that lights Twitter on fire and generates buzz but ultimately nothing about S2 is especially memorable.

EDIT: Ah shit you said "who." Let's go for more Sopranos alum, Edie Falco.

Honestly more focus on the location and actors in that location. My favorites BY FAR were the Italian actors this season and I really hope we get more of that next season. I feel like the first season had a tiny bit of a focus on Hawaii but it felt like it could have been anywhere. Season 2 really focused on the regions and love of the locations and it felt so much better.

I'd love Alison Brie alongside Brie Larson for the confusion factor alone. Would also love Milana Vayntrub.

Karen Fukuhara would be great too. In fact, let's just bring the whole cast of The Boys.

  • Constance Wu as a burnt out resort manager

  • Paul Mescal and Lana Condor as newlyweds with secrets

  • Brie Larson and Alison Brie as feuding sisters, Brie’s character could be wealthy and constantly reminding Alison’s of her wealth for petty reasons

  • Kiki Layne as a holiday maker who somehow gets caught up in everyone’s drama

Ryan Reynolds. As someone with no sense of humor. Like a depressed man going through a divorce. He’s actually very very good in dramatic roles. He sadly just thinks everyone wants to see him play Deadpool all the time.

The newsworthiness of the season 1 murder depends on how famous the White Lotus chain is in that fictional world. But for season 2, yeah, an American multi-millionaire dying while a boat full of dead old money Italians floated nearby, and the “how the hell did that happen?” mystery that resulted would be international news.

I want a different type of hotel manager, who is completely two-faced. Like exquisite with the guests but horrendously abusive to employees and they turn on him/her. And I want an actor we haven't seen in a role like that.

Anna Gunn

Tom Hiddleston

Eva Green

Rhea Seehorn

Ruth Negga

Samantha Morton

Karl Urban

Ken Watanabe

Stephanie Hsu

Ncuti Gatwa

James Spader

Ian McShane

Viola Davis

Michaela Coel

Maya Erskine

Any of them as the two faced hotel manager. Idk what kind of location, Iceland, New Zealand, New Orleans, IDC.

But give me Josh Groban in the role of the terrible womanizer guest or an incompetent bellhop who frequently gets shit hammered on duty and keeps likes to sing at the lobby piano when he's blackout drunk.

If they ever set it in Australia, she could be a local or even the hotel manager.

I find that to be the point of WL. It’s about privileged, mainly white people who are deep down really fucked up and have personal drama they keep private despite their insane wealth. The White Lotus company in itself is a franchise of 5-star resorts. So it’s kinda hard to stray away from that setting and position.

This may be an unpopular opinion but I really did not like Jennifer Coolidge’s character in the show, even from season 1. She’s a fantastic actor/actress, I just didn’t like the caricature of the character herself.
