Now, Theo James, who starred as Cameron Sullivan opposite Meghann Fahy‘s Daphne Sullivan in season two, is responding to a rumor.
Back in January, Meghann teased to Deadline, “[Mike White] did once say that he’d like to do an episode with Theo, me and the couple from the first season, [Alexandra Daddario and Jake Lacy] — the four of us on a boat. Just one episode of that.

Meghann Fahy‘s character is not set to return for a third season of The White Lotus. However, that doesn’t mean that we’ve seen the last of her.
If you forgot, the actress brought Daphne Sullivan to life in the show’s second season. Her storyline was woven in with Theo James (her onscreen husband Cameron Sullivan), Will Sharpe (Cameron’s old friend Ethan Spiller) and Aubrey Plaza.
During a recent interview, she revealed that The White Lotus creator Mike White has clued her in to a possible comeback of Daphne in a future episode.
The proposed plot would feature three other returning characters, and Meghann described it as “kind of psychotic.”
Who would be involved and what would go do? She gave us all of those details and revealed what she thinks happened to Daphne and Cameron after the cameras stopped rolling on their marriage.

So what actually happened to Meghann Fahy’s Daphne Sullivan after a Sicilian summer trip that yielded a dead body in the water?
“She keeps doing what’s she’s doing,” Fahy told Deadline at the Sundance studio about her posh, sexually free, no-rules-abiding wife of Cameron Sullivan (Theo James); a couple who get into the heads of the Spillers, played by Will Sharpe and Aubrey Plaza in season 2 of the HBO multi-Emmy winning show. Fahy is here in Park City, Ut with the Melissa Barrera midnight section movie, Your Monster.
But more to the point, Fahy tells us don’t expect Daphne to get on a plane to Thailand where season 3 is set at another White Lotus property. That cast for the Mike White anthology series includes Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola, Leslie Bibb, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey,...

White has already made it known that season 3 is “kind of satirical and funny look at death in Eastern religion and spirituality”. Already, it’s out there that season one’s haute resort spa manager Belinda Lindsey (Natasha Rothwell) is returning for what is a Thailand-set storyline.

Editor’s note: The following interviews were done outside of the FYC event series, as there was no panel or screening.
When it comes to assembling the quintessential ensemble cast for a series, it’s an art, not a science; an organic melding of faces and emotional forces. No more was this important than in the high stakes second season of HBO’s drama series White Lotus in which we’re pulled into the posh, sexy allure of those upper-class denizens on vacation only to relish in their deceitful sides and hijinks, warts and all. The series not only propelled fresh faces to the forefront such as Natasha Rothwell in season one, whose Hawaiian White Lotus resort spa manager is returning for the Eastern religion and spirituality set season 3, but it’s also shown a fresh, dynamic range of actors we’ve seen previously, i.e. Jennifer Coolidge and Alexandra Daddario among several others.

Everything Everywhere All at Once won four awards including the marquee Ensemble in a Motion Picture at the 29th annual SAG Awards, which were handed out Sunday night at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
Michelle Yeoh won Female Actor in a Leading Role for A24’s Everything Everywhere, which bolstered its claim as Best Picture front-runner at the Oscars after claiming the top film prize at the Producers Guild Awards last night. Yeoh and Tár‘s Cate Blanchett have been trading lead actress wins on the awards circuit, and tonight’s win could put the former in the driver’s seat as the Movie Academy’s Actors branch is its largest by far.

The White Lotus is almost certainly checking into an Asian hotel for its third season — and it’s been revealed Netflix’s Dahmer star Evan Peters nearly starred in the second run.
Rumors the Mike White-created comedy-drama would be set in Asia have abounded for several weeks and the HBO series’ executive producer David Bernad all but confirmed the news here at the Berlinale Series Market in Germany this morning.
“We’ve tried to work in Asia a lot and hopefully season three will be our chance to make something happen there,” he said during a keynote chat.
Notably, Emmy winner Bernad said himself and White almost filmed in Asia on another project for Amazon Prime Video back in 2016. He said the pair still harbour ambitions to work in the continent on future projects.

“The White Lotus: Sicily” made the move from limited series to drama series at the 2023 SAG Awards, and things paid off splendidly as the HBO show was nominated in two categories: Best Drama Ensemble and Best Drama Actress for Jennifer Coolidge. The Italy-set season aired from October to December and was one of the most buzzed-about TV programs of the year. The sprawling ensemble consists of a whopping 21 cast members — everyone from known names like Coolidge and F. Murray Abraham to relative newcomers like Sabrina Impacciatore and Leo Woodall.

The biting satire of "The White Lotus" leaves no character unscathed. Mike White's Emmy-winning hit is the latest in a long line of shows about rich people that we love to hate, and much like "Succession" or "The Crown," this show has a way of making the uber-wealthy appear deeply sad. But even though it paints some very complex and occasionally sympathetic portraits of its characters, "The White Lotus" never shies away from making fun of everyone that dares to grace our screen. The fact that Jennifer Coolidge is a legend and we support her every move does not preclude us from snickering as Tanya McQuoid spirals into a fortune-teller-fueled depression. And no matter how much he pouts, it will always be funny to recall the voice of Dominic Di Grasso's (Michael Imperioli) wife screaming at him from a phone receiver.

This article contains spoilers for The White Lotus season 2 episode 3.
Films and television shows create characters who represent ideal illusions of sex symbols, people we crave to be with but have no chance to meet so we can actualize our dreams. The ironic thing about TV crushes is that there are over 7 billion humans on this planet, yet we think the people behind the screen have something that others don’t. The beautiful smiles, chiseled bodies, and flipped-back hairstyles of these performers are accentuated by the characteristics of the people they’re portraying. Exterior charms are often subconsciously and superfluously enhanced by other identifiers such as wealth, place of birth, or racial power within society.
The White Lotus has daringly taken on the bulk of the discourse around why we idolize and sexualize the actors and characters we enjoy watching on a daily basis. The story, symbolism, humor, and acting...

Gold Derby has learned exclusively that, just like last year, “The White Lotus: Sicily” will submit all of its actors and actresses into the supporting races for awards shows. (See the cast category submissions below.) HBO initially enacted this strategy for the first season of its ratings hit, believing “The White Lotus” to be a true ensemble where there are no official “lead” performances that should get preference. That resulted in Jennifer Coolidge and Murray Bartlett both winning Emmys for Season 1 as Best Limited Series Supporting Actress and Best Limited Series Supporting Actor.
One caveat when making or updating your predictions at Gold Derby: “The White Lotus: Sicily” is considered a limited series at the upcoming Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, but it will compete as a drama series at the SAG Awards. Why? The Screen Actors Guild has strict rules about anthology series with returning characters, and since...

Ready to check in again? Personally, my bags are packed, and I'm happy you'll be joining me through the seven-episode arc that is the second season of HBO's "The White Lotus." Consider me your concierge, and let's get acquainted with this season's offerings. If you're joining us this time around, you probably eagerly lapped up the first Hawaii-set season of the show — and it would be hard to blame you. It blew up in a big way, and that's why we're here, this time in Sicily, an island off the coast of Italy. The show was equal parts biting social commentary, raucous comedy, and palpable mystery full of intrigue, a combination which writer-director and creator Mike White has proven to be uniquely skilled at. White's biting scripts have given the show an authenticity that allowed it to blossom into something more than a six-episode miniseries, and now, we're here to...

Netflix is officially entering the Guy Ritchie business.
Over two years after the "Snatch," "Sherlock Holmes," and "Aladdin" filmmaker first released his long-overdue foray back to caper flicks with "The Gentlemen", the divisive director is taking the gangster dramedy and turning it into a streaming series for the biggest platform of them all. The news comes courtesy of Variety, which confirms previous reports that Netflix had been "in talks" to pick up the series. Today, it's been revealed that the streaming giant has now given this spin-off the green light and ordered it to series.
While fans of the irreverent crime film have waited with bated breath to see if any of the film's original stars would return -- a star-studded cast that includes Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Jeremy Strong, Michelle Dockery, Colin Farrell, Henry Golding, and Eddie Marsan -- we now know that the new lead for this series...

Theo James is set as the lead of Netflix’s The Gentlemen, based on the Guy Ritchie film of the same name, Deadline has learned. Production on the Miramax TV series begins in London next week.
The series follows James’ character Eddie Halstead, who has inherited his father’s sizeable estate only to discover that it’s sitting on top of a weed empire owned by the legendary Mickey Pearson. Has this straight-up soldier got what it takes to master the dark arts of the British criminal underworld and take control of the entire operation?
Deadline exclusively revealed in March the streamer was eyeing the adaption. Ritchie co-wrote the pilot script with Matthew Read, will direct the first two episodes and serve as an executive producer on the series, which Miramax TV is producing alongside Moonage Pictures in the UK.

Mike White's HBO limited series "The White Lotus" was one of the best new shows of 2021, a sharply satirical look at the most privileged elite and the employees that serve them during a week's stay at an all-inclusive luxury resort. What is meant to be a week in paradise quickly reveals itself to be a powder keg of humanity's worst impulses, presented in a manner that is as darkly comedic as it is suspenseful. The end of season 1 featured a shocking, harrowing finale, capping off a debut season that would eventually lead to a whopping 10 Emmy Awards.
Following up on such an impressive launch seemed impossible, but as /Film's Barry Levitt described in his review, "The White Lotus" season 2 is "bigger, bolder, and stranger." The first season was an examination of class and race set in the fictional resort chain's Hawaiian locale, but season 2 looks to explore infidelity, sexual politics,...

“The White Lotus” first opened its doors in July 2021 and went on to become an awards juggernaut, winning 10 Emmys including Best Limited Series, Best Supporting Actress (Jennifer Coolidge), Best Supporting Actor (Murray Bartlett), and Best Writing and Best Directing (Mike White). Months after its debut, HBO announced there would be a second season but, since it’s an anthology series, the plot and characters would all be fresh. Mostly. Coolidge and Jon Gries are both back for “The White Lotus: Sicily” as wealthy resort guest Tanya McQuoid and her new beau Greg, respectively. The general concept of the new episodes will also be the same, as it focuses on several different groups of people attending the high-end luxury chain. Only this time, as you can infer from the title, it takes place in Italy instead of Hawaii. Scroll through our gallery above (or click here for direct access) to see...
