‘White Lotus' Season 3 cast would love to see Season 4 set in either of these two destinations
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,' the 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 the 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.'
While other Season 3 cast members mentioned their desire for a winter destination – like Arnas Fedaravicius, who plays wellness consultant Valentin this season – the idea of an African safari or desert destination kept coming up for many others.
'We're all trying to guess where Season 4 could be,' Shalini Peiris, who plays Amrita, said. 'I think it would be very special to have it somewhere in the African continent, or the Middle East.'
'Give me Morocco!' Walton Goggins exclaimed. 'Give me somewhere warm and dry,' he added, referencing the challenge of filming in the humidity in Bangkok.
Rothwell, for her part, touched on the specific perspective her returning character Belinda provides, as a Black traveler within the context of a luxury vacation destination, and also got into the speculation for where 'White Lotus' might go next.
'Belinda's presence in the series is so important. It requires audiences to reconcile the fact that in a lot of these spaces, it is homogenous, and you don't get to see a lot of people of color,' she observed. 'And she's able to infiltrate these spaces, and learn about them, and now she's in one, not as an employee. So it's really cool to see that this season.'
'Doing a season on the (African) continent – Morocco, Egypt, South Africa,' Rothwell added, when asked for her pick on where Season 4 should be. 'I feel like it would be a really amazing, rich opportunity to have these conversations.'
'The White Lotus' Season 3 premieres Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO, with the episode available to stream on Max. HBO and Max, like CNN, are owned by the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.

One of Netflix's biggest TV series of all time is going out with a bang next week
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. Almost four years after its debut became a global phenomenon that redefined what a streaming hit can look like, Squid Game is preparing to take its final bow. The third and final season of Netflix's dystopian juggernaut hits the streamer June 27, and it promises to end the story the same way it began — with violence, and a whole lot of blood. Season 3 picks up in the rubble of Season 2's devastating finale, where Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) was betrayed and left reeling. His attempted rebellion against the architects of the game nearly succeeded — that is, until the Front Man, hiding in plain sight as Player 001, shattered the plan and executed Gi-hun's closest ally, Jung-bae, in cold blood. Now Gi-hun is blaming himself, unaware that the real knife in his back came from someone he trusted. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 As always, Squid Game doesn't wait around for any of the players to catch their breath. As the games resume, the stakes climb even higher. This time, the rounds are more brutal and the choices even more personal. According to Netflix, surviving players will face moral and emotional reckoning with every decision they make. Meanwhile, the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) isn't just back in charge; he's welcoming a new slate of mysterious VIPs while keeping his own secrets intact. And In-ho's brother, Jun-ho, is still on the hunt for the island, unaware that betrayal may be closer than he thinks. Writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk has promised to give the Netflix hit an epic send-off. Can we expect redemption? Or will the cruelty of the game consume what little humanity remains? To build anticipation, Netflix has also turned Squid Game into a global event, with real-world activations echoing the show's many iconic moments.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Premiere Date Set — Plus, Check Out the Trailer and… Was That a Kiss?!?
Just like when one door closes, another opens — or someone croaks, a walker rises — as one season ends, another begins. During Sunday's Season 2 finale of the Negan-and-Maggie-centric Walking Dead: Dead City, AMC dropped a trailer for Season 3 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon — and revealed that the fifth spinoff in the franchise would return on Sunday, Sept. 7, at 9/8c. Per the show's official logline, 'Season 3, which filmed in Spain, will follow Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) as they continue their journey to somehow return home and to the ones they love. As they struggle to find their way back, the path takes them farther astray, leading them through distant lands with ever-changing and unfamiliar conditions as they witness the various effects of the walker apocalypse.'
