"The White Lotus" third season teaser promises mystery and a pill-popping Parker Posey

Salon  

HBO dropped the first official teaser for the third season of "The White Lotus" on Monday, and although creator Mike White's return to a slam dunk format of casting a mixed bag of celebrities as eccentrically stressed resort inhabitors is minus the comedic chops of Jennifer Coolidge, the addition of Parker Posey in her stead gives reason enough to watch. Rounding out an ensemble that includes Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Jason Isaacs, Walton Goggins, Patrick Schwarzenegger and series alum Natasha Rothwell, Posey plays Victoria Ratliff, vacationing at an exclusive Thai resort with her husband and three children when she finds herself in the middle of some manner of mystery upsetting enough to have her bemoaning the loss of her Lorazepam, forced to drink herself to sleep to make do. When it was announced in January that Posey would be joining the show this season, it was all very hush hush as to the role she'd be playing and, until now, all we could glean from press photos was that her character was fond of parasols, which tracks. I can't say anything," Posey said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the beginning of 2024.
