Ahead of the proposed White Lotus Season 3, an unusual casting proposal has been made that could work in the series' favor. Over two successful seasons, Mike White's satirical drama successfully satirized the moneyed classes thanks to a razor-sharp script and a mostly impeccable cast. Jennifer Coolidge's performances, in particular, helped the series stand out. However, while many of the White Lotus actors feel natural in the show's glossy, superficial environment, season three may need to take a different approach.
After the events of seasons 3 and XNUMX, it is unclear what direction White Lotus Season XNUMX might take. With the first season set at an exclusive resort in Hawaii and the second season set on the beautiful Italian island of Sicily, it seems likely that future stories will continue the trend of global travel. Likewise, the series' cast - with a couple notable exceptions - is also subject to change. However, while both seasons show some consistency in their casting choices, one offering may prove to be both a welcome shakeup to the formula and a surprisingly perfect fit thanks to a stakeholder's insightful assessment of the series.
Bette Midler Casting Offer Shows She's Good For White Lotus Season 3
In an interview with Variety, singer and actor Better Midler expressed her excitement for "White Lotus" and expressed her desire to join the cast. While her admission that she would join the series in a "New York minute" is intriguing, it's Midler's insightful analysis of the first two seasons that suggests she'd be the perfect addition. As she explained, she finds the series oddly "hopeful" - a view that may not be shared by many, but is actually very insightful.
While the antics of the rich and famous understandably get most of the attention, there is a redemptive, positive element to both stories in The White Lotus. For example, Quinn's journey of self-discovery in the first season provided a welcome foil for the rest of his privileged family and served as a welcome reminder that The White Lotus is more than just a dark comedy. The fact that Midler picked up on this thread suggests that she will be an interesting and welcome addition to the cast, one that could bring an element of nuance to her performance and take the third season of The White Lotus to even greater heights.
Why Bette Midler Would Be The Perfect Casting For The White Lotus
It's not just her assessment of the previous seasons of The White Lotus that makes Bette Midler the perfect actor. The veteran actor has demonstrated her expertise in dark-comic projects like Hocus Pocus and The Stepford Wives, suggesting that White Lotus Season 3 won't be too challenging. Plus, it's easy to imagine how Midler could continue the legacy of Jennifer Coolidge, who became the show's de facto star. The exact direction of White Lotus Season XNUMX has yet to be determined. However, Bette Midler's participation will undoubtedly heighten anticipation.
