12 Stars Gays Want to See on White Lotus Season 3

White Lotus, HBO's hit miniseries that dominated everyone's Sunday nights this fall, won big at the 2023 Golden Globes. The series, created by Mike White, won Best Limited Series and Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series for its iconic star Jennifer Coolidge, whose career made a comeback on this show in much the same way Ryan Murphy revitalized Jessica Lange's career on American Horror Story. (Also, put her on White Lotus too, please!)

After the success of the Sicily-set sexcapade, every star in the world is on their phones with agents and managers Elise Elliot-style trying to land a role on Season 3 and become pop culture's next Coolidge or Aubrey Plaza. The rumor is White Lotus Season 3 will take place in Asia and focus on spirituality. Below, we spotlight dozen stars we'd like to see on White Lotus Season 3.

Angela Bassett

Mama Bassett has been slaying the game for 30 years. She's given us so many iconic performances from What's Love Got to Do With It to Waiting to Exhale. This diva won her second Golden Globe last night for her performance as a legit queen in Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Get her on White Lotus, let Stella get her groove back again.

Allison Janney

Isn't everything better with Allison Janney? She's given us so much range. From Mom to The West Wing, this Oscar and Emmy winner loses herself in characters. Her dry delivery is just what White Lotus needs next. Have her stir up some drama.

Kate Hudson

Justice for our favorite Hollywood nepo Kate Hudson. Like in all honesty, she could just recreate her Glass Onion character again for White Lotus, and I'd be more than happy. I'd even start her Emmy campaign on my socials.

Goldie Hawn

But what if Kate's mother Goldie also headlined Season 3? Imagine!? The Oscar winner needs a major comeback. Why isn't she working all the time? She's a legend, she's an icon, and she should be the moment.

Tracey Ullman

Spirituality in the East is going to be a hard pill to swallow after sex in Sicily, so audiences are going to need to laugh and no one does that better than Tracey Ullman. She is consistently the best part of everything she does now, from Mrs. America to Curb Your Enthusiasm. Plus, she's such a chameleon, she can be anyone you want or need her to be. In my ideal fantasy, she'd do it as one of the Tracey Takes On characters. "Linda Granger, checking into White Lotus."

Audra McDonald

Audra McDonald is the ground-breaking Broadway legend who has the most Tony Awards of any performer in Broadway history, yet she has never had a major TV or movie success. She's been a part of great shows, including The Good Fight, and even got a big role with Shonda, but nothing has made this golden-voiced goddess come through and capture screen audiences the way she has theatre folks. Could a stay at White Lotus do the trick?

Eva Noblezada

Another Broadway name that would be perfect for White Lotus is Eva Noblezada. A star in New York and London, Eva gained international fame for her performance in Miss Saigon before starring in the Tony-winning musical Hadestown. She has an amazing look, she's talented AF, and she could be Season 3's Lucia. Let the rest of the world fall in love with this rising star.

David Duchovny

White Lotus always needs a bad boy, and this could be just the ticket for the X-Files and Californication zaddy. Let it be inspired by real life. Like he's a gorgeous sex addict trying to find his spirituality abroad, but old habits are hard to break, and we get a lot of sex scenes. Cut to awards season 2024.

Wilson Cruz

Gay icon Wilson Cruz could be a guest; he could manage the hotel; he could drop in for three episodes and cause drama. You'll find a spot for this beautiful man if you look hard enough, HBO. But also, please strip him down because that body don't quit.

Ricky Martin

The music superstar proved he could act in American Crime Story. You could cast him as a celeb getting away from it all. Or I could see Ricky as a spiritual coach in white linen pants and a flopping bulge, lots of prayer beads. Basically, himself on Instagram. But in this scenario, he also fucks the guests.

Joan Collins

Mother has arrived. Imagine Dynasty legend Joan Collins traipsing around the White Lotus resort like a glam Mrs. Howell on Gillian's Island? I LIVE! She would be GIF'd and meme'd the house down.

Madonna

Madonna is a Golden Globe winner, folks. Imagine what event TV it would be if the Evita and A League of Their Own star made a major screen comeback in the hottest show on TV? Come on, now! To a certain section of gays, this would be become bigger TV than Drag Race.
