The White Lotus is again so as to add some chaos to the 2025 TV schedule, and there’s already an early favourite casting selection to speak about: Parker Posey! Since Season 3 of The White Lotus premiered over the weekend, I haven’t stopped fascinated by her being a hilarious addition because the spouse of a rich financier, who’s secretly getting in massive bother amidst their Thailand household trip. After speaking to the forged, I’m not the one one who thinks she’s going to be a standout this season.
What The White Lotus Solid Advised Me About Working With Parker Posey
After I spoke to the remainder of the Ratliff household throughout The White Lotus press day in Los Angeles, they couldn’t assist however gush about Parker Posey and her character. Right here’s what Sarah Catherine Hook, who performs her daughter, Piper, stated concerning the casting after I requested who she thought may stand out amidst the ensemble:
Victoria has just like the loopy vibe and just like the craziest traces. She’s going to be all over the place. The memes which are going to be made, with no matter she says… I believe it was actually sensible of Mike [White] to pluck Parker as a result of it sort of felt like, who’s like one other like ‘90s star that folks love. Like, ‘trigger now that Jennifer’s gone, like we, as a result of I really feel like they had been sort of from the identical time so far as what their careers go. So I believed that was sort of intelligent and good of him to carry. They sort of really feel like they slot in the identical universe.
So true! Following the stunning loss of life of Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya in Season 2, there’s a spot accessible for probably the most beloved and unhinged White Lotus character.
Fellow newcomer, Sam Nivola, additionally added this throughout our interview:
I imply, her voice is even similar to listening to her speak, her being in character on set was simply the funniest factor on this planet.
To date, the Ratliffs are a curious household, with Parker Posey’s Victoria and her husband, performed by Jason Isaacs, being very odd and unconnected.
We all know that the well-off household of 5 going to the Thai department of The White Lotus is in assist of Piper’s thesis on a close-by monastery. Whereas Piper is all studious concerning the location, her older brother Saxon, performed by Patrick Schwarzenegger, is oh so very toxically masculine, and he is simply seeking to get laid. Then there’s Sam Nivola’s Lochlan, who was straight up observing his brother’s buttocks (which Patrick’s well-known dad Arnold commented on for some motive) whereas they had been sharing a room.
I can solely anticipate some wild occurrences to occur between this household because the season goes on, and I believe Parker Posey’s character goes to be the unbothered comedian reduction.
