‘White Lotus’ Thailand cast engaged in ‘a lot of speculation’ about a Season 4 locale

As TV viewers get ready to lose themselves in another immersive, chaotic and dangerous luxury experience at the White Lotus, it’s difficult not to wonder where the resort might open its next location, now that the award-winning series is set for a fourth go-round. Ahead of this weekend‘s Season 3 debut of “The White Lotus,” cast of the latest iteration of the Mike White-created anthology series – set on the lush island of Ko Samui in Thailand – kept coming back to two destinations for where things might go next: the desert, most likely somewhere in Africa, or the snowy slopes of a ski resort. Emmy-nominee Carrie Coon, who is featured this season, said “there was a lot of speculation” about future settings for the show, and that White “was openly talking about some ideas he had” for where Season 4 might be shot while they were on location in Thailand. “I would love to be somewhere cold,” Coon allowed, when asked where she would like to film if asked to come back to the series for another outing like Natasha Rothwell does this season (and Jennifer Coolidge did from Season 1 to Season 2). “It’s hard to act when your brain is boiling,” Coon added, in reference to heat in Thailand. “I would go to a ski resort because I could survive there!” Fellow cast member Sarah Catherine Hook, however, doesn’t think a chillier destination is likely: “I know Mike (White) isn’t really into the cold,” she said, even though she “would love a ski lodge vibe.” Hook said while on location in Thailand, the cast “would predict” potential future locations for the show, “but we never pried.”
