Connie Britton weighs in a White Lotus Season 3 return

With production of The White Lotus season 2 wrapped in Sicily, creator Mike White indicated he already has a goal in mind for season 3.

“The first season was about money and the second season was about sex,” he said. “I think season three might be a satirical, funny look at death, Eastern religion and spirituality. It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round.”

Before the second season premiered, however, he came up with a very different hypothesis – suggesting that he had a different idea for the second season but ultimately settled on the Sicilian direction.

“Maybe I’ll do it later when they give us a third season, so I don’t know if I should say,” Mike told Entertainment Weekly on Sept. 29. “Originally it was more like a Bilderberg conference, more about getting into some of the larger power dynamics there. But Sicily had a very different vibe than the idea I was proposing. That didn’t seem right.”

For the record, the Bilderberg Meeting, established in 1954, is a confidential gathering held annually to stimulate political and social discussion between the United States and Europe.

A bunch of influential politicians at a White Lotus resort? Could go wrong?!
