With casting announcements dropping just as quickly as the “Please, These Gays, They’re Trying To Murder Me” remixes, the third season of theMike White-created show,The White Lotus, is well underway. Keeping in line with its sophomore season, which featured the return ofJennifer Coolidge’s fan-favorite character, Tanya McQuoid, the third installment will seeNatasha Rothwell’s Belinda back in action. Beyond Rothwell’s reprisal, it seems like the titular resort will welcome only new check-ins enjoying their first stay atthe hotel’s Thailand location. Just because no other comebacks are expected for Season 3, that doesn’t mean that White doesn’t have some plans up his sleeve for the future of the series.During a brief chat with Deadlinewhile attending the Sundance Film Festival for the release of her latest feature-length project,Your Monster,The White LotusSeason 2 star,Meghann Fahy, dropped a tantalizing tidbit surrounding the possible future of her character, Daphne Sullivan.
Crushing any hopes of Daphne unpacking her bags at the top destination’s Thailand outpost, Fahy said that there was a possibility that more of Daphne’s story would be told down the line – just in a much shorter form. “He [White] did once say that he’d like to do an episode withTheo[James], me and the couple from the first season –Alex[Daddario] andJake[Lacy]; the four of us on a boat. Just one episode of that.”
Sign us up! The Captain’s log for that jaunt would be an undeniably juicy one as Fahy’s Daphne and James’ Cameron Sullivanwere known for dipping out of their marriage to spice things up. Meanwhile, Lacy’s Shane Patton and Daddario’s Rachel Patton played a miserable pair of newlyweds in the first season at the Hawaiian location who ultimately come to a place of understanding – that is, after Shane commits murder. With the Sullivan’s carefree take on life and thePatton’s uptight attitudes,this is precisely the crossover episode that we deserve.
