‘The White Lotus’ Season 4 Dream Cast: Who We Want to See on the HBO Drama
The White Lotus may have recently wrapped its third season run at HBO, but we’re already dreaming about Season 4 and who could potentially be cast in the popular series.
While no official announcements for The White Lotus Season 4 have been made, we’re rounding up some of the stars we’d like to see inhabit the titular resort for the upcoming chapter. Without a location to tie Season 4 to, it’s difficult to fully dream cast the next season’s ensemble, as creator Mike White has an affinity for casting stars originating from the various locales featured in the global series.
Still, we’re already thinking of some stars we’d like to see either check in as guests or sign on as staff at the White Lotus resort, wherever Season 4 may be set. Below, we’re breaking down our wish-list of stars we’d like to see in Season 4, and a little bit about the kind of White Lotus trope they could explore in the series. Scroll down for a closer look and let us know who you want to see on The White Lotus in the comments section below.
The White Lotus, Season 4 Premiere, TBA, HBO
Hamish Linklater
This extremely underrated performer wowed us with his role in Mike Flanagan‘s Midnight Mass as a priest driven mad with power, but we’ve also seen him excel at more reserved roles, making him feel like the perfect fit for a White Lotus manager. If Linklater were to appear on the show, we could only hope he’d get the Emmy attention he deserved years ago.
Peter Krause
The 9-1-1 alum is fresh off his gig as Bobby Nash, making it feel like the perfect time for Krause to return to HBO for an all-new kind of role. The actor who previously appeared in the network’s hit, Six Feet Under, could play the perfect entitled hotel guest, possibly traveling with his family for a special occasion.
Laura Dern
As a former Mike White collaborator, Dern seems like a perfect casting pick, and we know she can play rich well after her memorable turn as Renata on HBO’s other series, Big Little Lies. In this dream scenario, we could see her paired up with Krause as a vacationing couple.
Jack Quaid
Constance Wu
In that storyline, we could picture Wu portraying Quaid’s girlfriend, who is tagging along with her beau’s family. The actors’ slight age gap could also play a role in this dream plot. Plus, we’ve seen far too little of Wu onscreen in recent years, and The White Lotus feels like a show where the comedic star could really shine.
Connie Britton
We’re subscribing to the fan theory that Laura Dern could play Britton’s onscreen sister in The White Lotus universe. With that in mind, wouldn’t it be fun to see Britton back as Nicole Mossbacher? Whether she coordinated her trip to overlap with Dern’s character or not, we can’t help but keep our fingers crossed for the return of a legacy character. Plus, if she were to overlap with Krause, it would be a 9-1-1 reunion.
Leslie Mann
If Nicole were traveling without her family, we’d imagine she’d bring a friend to tag along. Mann feels like she’d fit that kind of role perfectly. And similar to Wu, it feels like we’ve gone far too long without seeing Mann on our screens, so there’s really no reason for her not to be cast.
Leslie Odom Jr.
We could always use more of Odom Jr. on our screens, and we’d love to see him check into the titular resort as a guest. Perhaps he could be vacationing with his wife for an anniversary trip?
