Mike White, PLEASE do an all-star season!

10 Incredible Actors We'd Cast In 'The White Lotus' Season 4

It's only been a couple of weeks since the Season 3 finale of The White Lotus aired on HBO, and most of us are still recovering from the tragic deaths of Chelsea and Rick, Timothy Ratliff nearly killing his whole family with poisonous piña coladas, and the fact that Belinda pulled a total Tanya after getting $5 million to start her spa and declining to bring Pornchai into the venture.

But while the dust of Season 3 hasn't even settled yet, we're already looking forward to Season 4 of The White Lotus and pondering who could (or rather, should) be cast in the new iteration.

Yes, the dark comedy has (thankfully) already been renewed for another season. However, its shooting location and which actors will star in it remain to be seen. So, until HBO releases more information, we've compiled a list of who we would cast in an all-star season of The White Lotus, including both returning characters and newcomers.


Here's everyone we'd love to see in The White Lotus season 4 cast.

1. Parker Posey

Okay, obviously, we would have to bring back Parker Posey as Victoria Ratliff for a few main reasons. Primarily, while practically all of the Season 3 characters seemed to have some sort of awakening, enlightenment, or reach a life realization, Parker's character didn't undergo the same development arc.

Plus, many fans were disappointed at the conclusion (or, rather, lack thereof) of the whole Ratliff family drama. Sure, we got an emotional final boat scene, in which Timothy looked at the jumping droplets of ocean water and finally believed his family could weather the storm of losing everything due to his white-collar crimes. But could his wife, Victoria, truly live without her luxuries?

In my opinion, she could come back to Season 4 in one of two ways. Either she divorces Timothy because he can no longer provide her with her ideal lifestyle, so she's getting back out there solo. Or, another (albeit less likely) scenario is that somehow she and Timothy wind up on the run after he evades the charges awaiting him back in the United States.

2. Kim Cattrall

I fell in love with Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones on Sex and the City. And while Samantha had a more sympathetic side than many of the entitled characters that The White Lotus gravitates toward, I still think a similar trope would fit right in.

Kim could essentially play a snobbier, richer version of Samantha in Season 4, whose never-ending lust for men leaves her single and on the prowl at 68 years old. Think Jennifer Coolidge's character, Tanya McQuoid, but less emotionally battered and more promiscuous.

3. Steve Buscemi

Steve Buscemi is a cultural icon who has appeared in everything from comedies like The Big Lebowski and Grown Ups to thrillers such as Reservoir Dogs and Fargo. He can do it all and has a somewhat haunting presence, which makes him perfectly poised as a potential The White Lotus cast member.

Perhaps he's a former con man who takes on a villain role similar to Gary/Greg. Or, he plays a somewhat psychotic hotel staffer who becomes entangled in the guests' escapades, just like Murray Bartlett as Armond in Season 1.

4. Meghann Fahy

Meghann Fahy's character, Daphne Sullivan, always gave me free spirit vibes during Season 2. If you recall, she joined her husband Cameron on a trip to Sicily with another couple, played by Aubrey Plaza and Will Sharpe.

She also knew that her husband was unfaithful and was pretty nonchalant about it, saying that she was "no victim." Maybe she and Cameron could return to Season 4 as a non-monogamous couple searching for another love interest to join their relationship, causing some drama in the process.

5. Pedro Pascal

Pedro Pascal has proven his action acting chops time and time again through his work on The Mandalorian, The Last of Us, Gladiator II, and more. And if we know anything about The White Lotus by now, there will always be some sort of showdown at the end.

I picture Pedro playing a beleaguered white-collar guy trying to escape the so-called struggles of his cushy life, only to encounter some sort of threat or ultimatum that pushes him to release his dark side. Otherwise, his character could just be dark from the beginning, taking on a local villain role in whatever location The White Lotus is set in.

6. Jennifer Aniston

Everybody knows who Jennifer Aniston is, and whether you love her from Friends or her countless rom-coms, I believe she'd make a stellar celebrity cameo. She doesn't have to be a main cast member in Season 4, but a pop-in to a White Lotus resort would make sense, given her star status.

Not to mention, her performance in The Good Girl, written by Mike White, proved how well she does with dark comedy. She could be running from some career-threatening secret in the United States and seeking refuge at the resort, engaging in a fatal love affair, or even be a part-owner of the next destination's White Lotus.

7. Simona Tobasco & Beatrice Grannò

Lucia and Mia, the sex workers from Season 2 portrayed by Simona Tobasco and Beatrice Grannò, were downright hilarious when The White Lotus took on Sicily. How cool would it be if the dynamic duo reappeared in Season 4?

There are so many possibilities for their storyline, too. Remember how Mia got her gig as a piano player at the Sicily resort, and Lucia received a payout from Albie? Well, maybe Mia decides to take another musician role at a different White Lotus location, and Lucia tags along for the adventure. The two young girls on the prowl could even be taken under the wing of a seasoned single like Kim Cattrall.

8. Fred Hechinger

Back in Season 1, Fred Hechinger portrayed Quinn Mossbacher, the young son of Mark and Olivia, who decides to stay in Hawaii and canoe with a local team. He went from being a total "screenager" to embracing the natural world around him, an unexpected but heartwarming character arc.

If Quinn's storyline were to continue, I'd imagine that he held onto that wanderlust and ultimately decided to continue adventuring. Maybe his canoeing experience leads him to leave Hawaii and join a more elite team in another destination, or he simply sets out to explore the world and experience new hobbies. Then, he could end up in the same locale as Season 4's resort and, as a slightly older young man, get into more complex antics.

9. Seth Rogen

Seth Rogen recently created The Studio, a satire that stars him as Matt Remick, the new head of a Hollywood movie studio. In the show, he tries to balance corporate expectations against the desires of celebrities, many of whom are real-life A-listers making cameos as themselves.

This is precisely why I think Seth would fit right in on Season 4 of The White Lotus. In a major crossover event, it would be amazing if he could portray his own The Studio character, Matt, who tries to take a break from the chaos of Hollywood only to find himself in even more turmoil abroad.

10. Nicholas Duvernay

Finally, we definitely can't forget about Nicholas Duvernay, who played Belinda's son, Zion, in Season 3. Simply put, his story feels unfinished.

He entered The White Lotus toward the tail end of the season and helped his mother secure a $5 million payout from Gary/Greg. Then, they literally sailed off into the sunset together.

We know that, in the show, Zion is a college student. So, in Season 4, he could come back as a rich young man who, due to his newfound wealth, is taking a gap year to "find himself." But instead of realizing what he wants to do with his life, perhaps he gets into trouble that puts him and his mom's new fortune at risk.
