Parker Posey, the Most “White Lotus” Actor Ever, Heads Season 3 with Jason Isaacs, Leslie Bibb, Michelle Monaghan

Share

Parker Posey is probably the most “White Lotus”-ish actor ever to join the show. She leads the Season 3 cast just announced with Jason Isaacs, Leslie Bibb, Michelle Monaghan, plus Dom Hetrakul and Tayme Thapthimthong.

Natasha Rothwell was already announced, reprising her role from Season 1. Remember– she was the staff member who got tangled up with Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya.

The show is set in Thailand this time. Filming will begin in and around Koh Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok next month. The multi-generational group of characters includes a patriarch, a female corporate executive, an actress, a couple of mothers, including a country club wife, a misfit and a yogi. We’re hoping Parker plays the actress. She would be the wacky version of Ginger from “Gilligan’s Island.” It would seem like Isaacs — coming off his great performance as Cary Grant in “Archie” — is the mogul.

Will Coolidge return? Maybe as a ghost or some kind of spirit since this season is supposed to be about all things Eastern. Maybe Tanya will haunt the new group of guests.
