Bette Midler Wants To Join The White Lotus Season 3

Bette Midler reveals that she wants to join The White Lotus season 3, explaining that she enjoys what Mike White is doing with the HBO series.

Bette Midler expresses interest in joining The White Lotus and reveals what she likes about the award-winning anthology series. Created by Mike White, the satire observes different locations of the fictional resort chain, tracking guests and employees over the course of a week. The first two seasons, set in Hawaii and Sicily, received praise for their writing and performances, with Jennifer Coolidge earning particular recognition for her role as Tanya McQuoid. The White Lotus was renewed back in November and is reportedly headed to Asia next, but no actors have been confirmed for season 3.

When it comes to casting future seasons of The White Lotus, predictions have been spreading for a while. In a recent interview with Variety, Midler says that she would join the series “in a New York minute.” She adds that its depiction of the upper class, along with its humor, are part of why she enjoys the show so much. Read Midler’s comments regarding The White Lotus below:

“It’s a big sendup. Mike White pokes fun at the worst kind of people, the truly entitled and rich people behaving badly. Everybody likes to see them get their comeuppance. I really enjoy that. It’s the great saga of the haves and the have-nots, which is eternal. I do tend to watch the stuff that’s — I don’t want to say hopeful — but I do like to laugh. I love to laugh, but there’s just not enough laughter. So I really do look for the stuff that makes me laugh.“

Why Midler Would Be Perfect In The White Lotus

Considered an icon, Oscar-nominee Midler has had an impressive acting career. She has starred in a number of successful projects, most notably Hocus Pocus and its 2022 sequel. Winifred Sanderson and her sisters have become a part of popular culture, and that kind of comedic performance highlights Midler’s on-screen abilities, which would suit her well on The White Lotus. When it comes to television, the star has appeared in shows like The Politician and her own sitcom, Bette.

The White Lotus season 2 saw the death of Coolidge’s fan favorite character, and with her potential absence moving forward, Midler is another actor who can capture viewers’ attention. Because the majority of its cast changes, it might be possible for her to join The White Lotus down the line. Theories have been brought up surrounding the inclusion of someone related to Tanya McQuoid, and Midler could be a fun choice; if not for that, then for another role.

From what has been revealed about the White Lotus season 3 location and concept, it looks like it might be completely different from prior arcs, exploring ideas of spirituality. The casting for HBO’s hit series tends to create a lot of interest, and this season will likely continue to add top talent. With Midler’s large fanbase and experience in the comedy genre, it is worth wondering if the possibility of her joining The White Lotus will come to fruition.
