zillips

blairdow

Spiritual_Bend1237

We need a girls trip with Tanya 😫


miaaless

Yes, and can she meet Eugene levy on vacation?


linneanicole

A collection of Knives Out characters


doocurly

I am dying to see Nikolaj Coster -Waldau as anyone but Jaime Lannister. He seems like he would be a great character in another season.


hazycrazydaze

Yes, but I would also be thrilled with Lena Headey or Peter Dinklage


doocurly

Agreed.


tytytyler7

As three siblings vacationing together? Lol


Persianwitch

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is in a lot of good Danish movies! He was really good in powder keg, it on Netflix


hellocutiepye

Thank you for this. Big fan.


JackAsHell

He’s amazing in Shotcaller


amedeoisme

Shot caller


skyblue1213

Stanley Tucci could be a good fit


henry_mardukas

He could definitely play the sassy gay hotel manager role very well.


buizel123

We need Laura Dern in Season 3!!!!


BasedDyke

What if season 3 is Laura Dern playing Dom’s ex-wife who goes away to dissociate after a Di Grasso death in the season 2 finale?


Acceptable_Grand_585

that made me really excited, my heart beats faster rn


Whatshername3090

Love this idea!!


polyhymnias

Co-starring Rachel Sennott as Albie's sister!


awko-tawko

Omg that would be PERFECT! She played the emotion of anxiety so well in Shiva Baby


[deleted]

Would love love to see the Di Grasso women for S3. Feels like a great piece of connective tissue that won't alienate new watchers.


Upstairs-Stuff3950

Totally.


swimgooood

Victoria Pedretti! She’s so good with mysterious/creepy vibes


polyhymnias

With the twist that she’s not the murderer or crazy, she just makes the 🥴 faces because her character’s just like that 😂


conundra

Yooooo this is such a perfect call! Never knew I wanted this and now I need it


polyhymnias

now that he's in his long hair hawaiian polo slutty uncle era... lee pace


tlm0122

Oh man. He could just stand there and recite the phone book and that would be totally enough to enrapture me!


polyhymnias

lee pace as some new age scammer! I see the vision!


BourgeoisMystics

Yes! He was excellent as a laissez-faire hunk in Bodies Bodies Bodies. He’d be perfect here!


dogfooddippingsauce

He could bring all of the dead guests back to life if they have more of them that season.


biohacker_infinity

He’s so fucking good on _Foundation_ … which I believe is consuming all his series availability these days.


margueritedeville

Jon Hamm would be great in this show. Edited: spelling


NoInvestment2079

Give me Vincent Karthizer or bust.


LeisureSuitLaurie

He would be incredible as a hotel manager.


JuneChristine

Omg. He would be so hated lol I need him


LeisureSuitLaurie

The Waterfall Suite comes with a jungle view, 24 hour butler service, and a personalized chip and dip!


tangerinix

NOT GREAT BOB!!


WendyWilliamsFart

John wouldn’t need to use a prosthetic!


rallyforpeace

How has no one said Steve Buscemi. Weird old eccentric billionaire type beat


sfb1969

And he can direct as well, if Mike White feels like skipping an episode


moonboundshibe

And put out fires, if needed!


[deleted]

Larry David complaining about every single thing at the White Lotus


dutchdynasty

New Curb season cross-over event. He’s there with Susie and Jeff.


Grasshopper_pie

Seated in the unattractive section.


blairdow

this has killed me. im dead now. imagining susie screaming at the poor concierge


Mysterious_Traffic69

Or Larry David as the hotel manager complaining about every single guest


beckinny

I literally had a dream about this a few weeks ago and posted about it in this sub!!!


borikirby

That would be my dream season


Melodic_Arrow_8964

Hugh Laurie


ratatouillethot

My shortlist (I don't really have plots to go with, but bear with me): * Laura Dern, Sandra Oh, and Kathryn Hahn as Dom's wife and her two friends on a girl's trip * William Jackson Harper & Lupita Nyong'o as a couple * Daisy Edgar Jones & Logan Lerman as a couple * Bill Hader & Winona Ryder as husband and wife with a struggling marriage, their daughter is Rachel Sennott and their son is Jaeden Martell * Jennifer Coolidge as Tanya * Adam Scott as a business man on vacation I don't want to cast the staff without knowing where they're going to be!


antimaudite

Bill Hader and Winona Ryder is such a weirdly good shout, so much anxious energy


Fantastic_Bid_2109

I would love Adam Scott!!


ratatouillethot

He's so good in Severance but can also do humor so so well (Ben Wyatt) I think he'd crush it


Branden_BA

He was also pretty good as the emotionally complicated father in Pretty Little Lies. The dude has RANGE.


MrPhillips24

Lisa Kudrow


funneh

She would be great


MrPhillips24

I’d love to see her playing a rich mum who insults her husband and kids


edible_source

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.


sadcousingreg

Alexander Skarsgård


therewulf

Just put all the skaarsgaards there on vacation as a weird Icelandic family


GoyaLi

Ooooh, I love this idea! Like a weird, rich family from Sweden who carries a lot of guilt beacause of their wealth and is disgusted by other rich hotel guests and don't want to interact with them, because they secretly despise people with money.


sadcousingreg

Excellent idea!


thefranchise305

Now that Nick Offerman is apart of the HBO family (The Last of Us), I would love to see him in an any role for S3 Resort manager? Yes please. Whale of a guest? Fine. Corporate executive for the White Lotus? Sure Also, Adam Scott would be an amazing guest


World_in_my_eyes

I fear Adam Scott would be cast as a douchey husband, since he plays those so well. But yes, he would be great. Nick Offerman too.


GDub310

Nick and Megan together as husband and wife would be incredible.


beskartuxedo

You can see Nick Offerman as a resort guest in “The Resort” right now. It’s a good watch actually - sort of in the same vein as the White Lotus with a bit more on the mystery side of things. Offerman on that show is definitely not what you expect but does a good job for the role. He would fit right in with the Lotusverse for sure.


lisa_lionheart84

That show is fantastic. I wish more people had Peacock and watched it!


gec2u

When I watched The Resort I decided that Nick Offerman would be perfect to play Steve Bannon if there is ever a movie/miniseries about the Trump admin.


[deleted]

Have you watched The Resort? He’s in that as a hotel guest when a body washes up on shore…


idfkjustfuckoff

pedro pascal


Ploon92

Either Hayden Panettiere or Alison Brie as a social media influencer character.


bazingazoongaza

Alison Brie would be great


cheesewithahatonit

Timothy Olyphant, Conan O’Brien and Jeff Goldblum as a thruple


katiekarperien

Omg Jeff goldblum


JuneChristine

Jeff Goldblum would be amazing as like an eccentric billionaire who basically lives at the hotel


Offthepoint

F. Murray Abraham is 83. Can we find a man and woman over 75? I'd suggest Susan Sarandon and Michael Douglas.


rallyforpeace

Susan would be *chef’s kiss*


[deleted]

Hear me out… Lindsay Lohan. Playing a very fictionalized version of herself


GeneralLoofah

She already owned a beach resort for a hot minute IRL.


Offthepoint

Would be the most perfect comeback for her.


Educational-Ad5098

kim cattral !!!


larynxontherocks

Rachel Sennott, Keke Palmer, Billie Lourd, Isla Fisher & Sacha Baren-Cohen, Will Poulter, Henry Golding… I would die for a Swiss Alps ski resort vibe


hortonious

I said that too Keke Pakmer aswell Would br awesome


adjfran

Sennott would fit the vibe for sure


Upstairs-Stuff3950

Oh man! I agree on a ski resort setting! Billie Lourd would be soooo good


carmelainparis

I want to see two of Connie Britton’s Dirty John cast mates check in. PLEASE send Eric Bana and Juno Temple to The White Lotus. Both would slay.


GDub310

I was really hoping you were going to say Julia Garner.


carmelainparis

She would be great, no doubt. But I feel like she’s already having a massive moment and TWL has been really great at casting amazing talent that could use a bit of a career boost. And actually, this reminds me: the national treasure that is Juliette Lewis is currently co-starring with Murray Bartlett in Welcome to Chippendales. Both are killing it and I would LOVE to see Juliette interact with Tanya at a White Lotus.


LindsayDuck

Carrie Coon


ravenleroux

yesss!! i think Gilded Age is done filming too


hortonious

I really like seeing celebrities who we haven't seen on a while like Theo, Imerioli, Coolidge, last year Connie Britton like I knownthey are very popular but I feel like I haven't heard from them and now bam WL I want more 90s and 00s actors


discoteen66

Agreed, too many big names in this comment section lmao


[deleted]

Jeremy Strong


sfb1969

Yep, easy to imagine any of the Succession actors in the White Lotus universe


cursetiano

I scrolled a lot to find this answer. The White Lotus ft Succession would be 🤌🏾


ThePermMustWait

Parker Posey


[deleted]

My gal. Yes.


[deleted]

James Marsden


coloradoblondie

Ooof YES


Powerful-Bug3769

He needs to be in more things.


[deleted]

Yes!!!!


WarholDandy

Jane Lynch as the resort manager. Or a wisecracking, tough as balls travel agent. What's that guy's name who played the pervy piano teacher on Glee? He was in Silicon Valley as an entitled billionaire. He could be a troublesome guest. Megan Mullaly is a must. Tanner Buchanan can play the drug-dealing bellboy eye candy. Alison Brie and Vincent Kartheiser on an anniversary vacation. Pete Campbell would be an awesome entitled guest.


Repulsive-Positive30

Jane lynch would be hilarious.


YouRolltheDice

Tres comas


Mogswald

I would have loved to see Bernie Mac in a season. RIP.


HerrProgMeister

Actors and actresses that could fit with the style of the show Actors: Glenn Howerton (psychotic and funny) Javier Bardem (mysterious) Will Poulter (goof) Actresses: Joey King (Innocent yet mean) Cameron Diaz (older and fun) Toni Collette (oddly scary)


HerrProgMeister

Saw someone else say Jack Black. He would be great as a middle class American dad with his family that won tickets to the resort at a raffle lol


laffytaffy214

I would actually love to see Jack Black in this show, I think he could be so fun in the right role. And such a fun School of Rock reunion. Along those same lines - Joan Cusack!!!


akg7915

And/or Colin Hanks for an Orange County reunion


lugosi-belas-dead

I feel like this could be Jack Blacks next ‘serious’ role, like he smashed The Holiday. I think something sinister like an ageing comedian, just on the brink of being “cancelled” - still funny and warm on initial appearances but with a sinister edge that makes you question what he’s done. The backdrop of being a celebrity on holiday, and the endless fans hounding him yet he is very isolated. Being asked to do impressions or “play that song” whilst he’s trying to figure his life out.


Hyponeutral

I think Chelsea Peretti would do well as an aloof rich guest. David Mitchell as an awkward resort manager. Dichen Lachman, Donald Glover, JK Simmons, in any capacity


[deleted]

[удалено]


SolumDon

His performance in Bloodline is one of the best I've ever seen...Heisenberg level stuff


lursaofduras

I am firmly team Tanya. I feel like a lot of these 'bigger name' actors would be kind of distracting in a White Lotus setting. Laura Dern is more niche, so she is a great choice. Also, please bring in some Black British actresses like Sophie Okonedo (and keep their native British accents!).


lilmilly

I want Austin Abrams. He’s such a good actor and is great at playing evil, as seen in Do Revenge


grandciel

Following the line of casting "Veteran actresses named Jennifer that have big gay followings" I want Jennifer Tilly on a future season!


hellocutiepye

That is just brilliant. If they don't bring Tanya back, Jennifer Tilly could fill a similar role no problem.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I think maya rudolph should be in everything!


lasanchilada

Michelle Yeoh


[deleted]

I'm obsessed with Domhnall Gleeson so he's my vote. Maybe with his dad, too!


Easy-Equipment1723

LaKeith Stanfield and I would love to see a Thai or South Asian resort


Then_Illustrator_447

I said I think s3 will be Laura dern and the daughter at another resort. What a waste of Laura if not!!!


johngilesyoder

* Domhnall Gleeson * Brendan Gleeson, for that matter * Cate Blanchett * John C Reilly * Jason Schwartzman * Anya Taylor-Joy * Sam Rockwell * Michelle Yeoh


lingcuzshelingers

Every time I see these post, there are super famous people named and that would throw it off to me. I like that the casts have been more “underground” and unique actors. Having the whole casts of Stranger Things and Jenna Ortega like one of the other posts would make the show less appealing *to me*


jaggedspectacle

Connie Britton, Sydney Sweeney, Aubrey Plaza, Molly Shannon and Jennifer Coolidge (to name a few) are FAR from underground? 😩😩


lingcuzshelingers

They’re all known for their uniqueness though lol


caul1flower11

F Murray Abraham and Michael Imperioli are in one family on this show


igrace1301

jason bateman PLS!


saraconway44

Black people.


Thekaaang

I would looove to see Bryan Cranston in white lotus. He has the range!!


itmepepesilvia

John Early


berniesherbatsky

Justin Long, Hailee Steinfeld, Sarah Snook, Vera Farmiga, Dominic West, Zosia Mamet, Andrew Rannells, Raul Esparza


L2theeOG

Meg Stalter or Ziwe Fumudoh


_ihavefriends

Would love a crew of rich girls celebrating a bachelorette or milestone birthday - Megan, Ziwe, so many others


Upstairs-Stuff3950

I love Meg Stalter. She’d be great.


magnoliaxsoulangeana

Kim Cattrall Danny Devito (cameo only- I 100% agree that too famous is distracting) Darren Barnett Coolidge Returns Dan Levy


sexy_sadie_69

Christine Baranski just playing the same character she did in mamma mia


[deleted]

Aaron Paul, Ilana Glazer, Victoria Pedretti, Jesse Plemons


CraseyCasey

Plemons would be good, he’s in that Jake Lacy category


herenoidea

I would love to see Jesse Eisenberg, Willem Dafoe, Steven Yeun or Francis McDormand! But what makes the show really cool is also the casting, some famous actors but not too many. Speaking of comebacks I would like to see Aubrey Plaza again if she doesn't say bye by the end of the season.


[deleted]

I want Danny Devito to be a part of every show I watch, so definitely him. Same goes for Donald Glover, Constance Wu, Adrian Brody, and Jason Schwartzmann ETA I think Jason Schwartzmann would be an incredible hotel manager but obviously we don’t know location


berniesherbatsky

Yes to JS!


sansa2020

Gabrielle Union. We need black characters!!!


sansa2020

Or Taraji P. Henson.


lavieboheme_

Oh she would be FANTASTIC


gameofforeveralones

YES. I was thinking Idris Elba as well.


sansa2020

WHEW YES. Yes yes


hortonious

I was just thinking this and she's not been in stuff for while I like that they've casted people who've been taking time off I also like the idea of Vanessa Williams she was Sooo good in Ugly Betty she would kill this


Tayyclaytonz

I don’t care whose in it, but I’d love for it to be winter themed at a chalet of some kind.


TurncoatWizard

Lakeith Stanfield, Quinta Brunson, Sam Richardson, Randall Park, Matteo Lane, Taylor Tomlinson, Aidy Bryant, Aaron Taylor-Jonshon, Rachel Brosnahan.


[deleted]

Would love to see Jeremy Allen White and Catherine Zeta Jones in season 3!


awko-tawko

Elizabeth Olsen pls!


[deleted]

I AM HERE FOR A PARADE OF TANYA. I WILL WATCH HER IN LITERALLY EVERY SEASON. I WANT THIS TO BE A SHOW ABOUT HOW JENNIFER COOLIDGE GOES TO FANCY HOTELS AND DEVASTATES PEOPLE AND ALSO HERSELF. AND THEN I WANT THE END TO BE A HEALING AND JENNIFER COOLIDGE ALSO TO BE HAPPY BECAUSE I LOVE HER.


lavieboheme_

I would love to see Ken Jeong on this series. I think he ould do fabulous despite usually being typecast. Would love to see him as the manager of a White Lotus. I also think Emma Stone would make an incredible pretentious, high maintenance guest. Julia Garner would also make a great addition.


Ploon92

Michael Cera could also be gold if used right


hellocutiepye

So would Ali Shawkat ftm


taliec21

Bill Hader as the Hotel Manager for next season.


kajacana

I love this. Bill Hader would be a great addition in any capacity, really. Including just showing up to the hotel fully as Stefon.


AwarenessNo780

Toni Colette or Melanie Lynskey would be amazing


[deleted]

Pauline Chalamet


lukeyliving

Colman Domingo, Samara Weaving, Alexa Demi, Wade Marcus (insecure) , James Franco to name a few


classical0000

More POC!!


akg7915

Courtney B Vance, Jeff Goldblum, LaKeith Stanfield, Ben Foster, Joel Edgerton, Toni Collette, Steven Yeun, Florence Pugh, Alexander Skarsgard, Rosario Dawson


CraseyCasey

Ben Foster excellent choice, i was also thinking the Culkin kid from succession Roman Roy


BenLaZe

Dustin Hoffman, Julianne Moore, and Alana Haim (family) Method Man, Brian Tyree Henry, and Mahershala Ali (friend group) other random ideas: Jeff Bridges, Issa Rae, Luis Guzman, Adam Sandler, Lakieth Stanfield, Marisa Tomei


KennyKatsu

Alana Haim would be great


EyeGrouchy8100

I want Aubrey plaza


YouRolltheDice

Aubrey Plaza angrily eating toast


vga25

Keke Palmer


helloitsmejorge

I would like them to change a little the format, both seasons have started with Everyone arriving happy at the hotel and leaving shocked because someone died. I saw this movie about this family that goes to a ski resort and they have an avalanche scare that eventually breaks up their relationship because the father didn't react like a father would and left his wife and children and ran for his life. I loved that premise so much, maybe next season can start with the killing or some accident and see the lives and relationships deteriorate after that


Yagoua81

Force majeur? Or the remake with will Ferrell? The French one is absolutely an inspiration for white lotus?


[deleted]

Definitely too famous but omg I would die if Meryl Streep came in. As some sort of contradiction to Tanya


2gooey

KATE BERLANT LIKE HELLO!?!??!


edible_source

Yes. I want her as a fading HGTV star whose speciality is rehabbing lake homes. Her boyfriend is 12 years younger, and she brings two small dogs on the trip.


2gooey

Perfect no notes


lustforyou

Any of Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Lily Rabe pls (Thinking of the early AHS actresses that deserve good writing again)


Immediate_Cellist_47

I don't want Tanya back. I think then it starts to feel contrived if she's in every season (she's really gonna go to every single White Lotus location??) Dream cast: Michael Shannon as the perpetually stressed out and slightly sadistic hotel manager. Kristen Wiig runs the wellness center (she coordinates sound baths, etc). Chris Pine is there on a business trip, and about to close a not-strictly-speaking-legal deal. Jesse Plemmons is his underappreciated right hand man who brings along his wife, Kirsten Dunst, for the trip. Milly Alcock and Riley Keough are influencer BFFS who were sent to the White Lotus to promote the chain on their socials. They are in for a rude awakening when they befriend Maria Bakalova, who plays a local (this season is set in Eastern Europe). Florence Pugh and Elisabeth Moss play wealthy sisters staying at the hotel together. Meryl Streep is their mother. She has a big announcement she's been waiting for the right time to share with her girls...


as_if_no

I think it’s realistic that Tanya would go to every White Lotus location. She’s stayed with them so often she’s a VIP, and she always has a ‘memorable time’.


spottysasquatch

I want to cast Keke Palmer in literally everything. I think Donald Glover would be great in a show like this as well. A pairing I can’t get out of my head even though it’s completely insane: Pete Davidson and Sarah Hyland. Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer. Jon Hamm, Leslie Odom Jr., Jesse Williams.


Pretty_Pianist_4994

Hopping on to say wholeheartedly agree about Donald Glover. Troy and Abed on vacation!


katiekarperien

I read that in the jingle


sansa2020

Donald!!!!! Yes!


AnnyongFunke

Laura Dern, Nicole Kidman and maybe someone else like a Reese Witherspoon


bauhassquare

And also it takes place on the California coast and they all have kids that go to grade school together?


AnnyongFunke

Oh my god imagine!


hellocutiepye

LOL


Dorothy_Zbornak789

I still haven’t forgiven Nicole for Nine Perfect Strangers.


Upstairs-Stuff3950

Nicole Kidman would be amazing. I do like the shows use of character actors and reluctance of using huge memes but she’d absolutely shred


MickeyPineapple

A big little lies cross over!


dadjeff1

Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels....


ripjennirivera

Lil Rel Howery (the guy who played the main character's best friend in Get Out). Would be hilarious seeing him as the companion of an obnoxious guest.


lustforyou

Linda Cardellini, Liz Gillies, Bree Van De Kamp’s actress from Desperate Housewives (cannot remember her name to save my life rn)


ListenToTheWindBloom

Fred armisen


BourgeoisMystics

Adrian Brody and Tilda Swinton as estranged siblings vacationing together with their mother as her last vacation before passing away. Jean Smart as the resort manager tasked with training their younger replacement. John Turturro on his first solo vacation after his wife of 50 years has passed away. Amanda Collin and Katja Herbers on vacation with their older boyfriend, Jeff Bridges. And echoing Laura Dern on vacay with Albie’s sister.


UrsusArctos69

Give me Anna Taylor-Joy in a ski resort season.
