There is a possibility that Season 3 of the drama “The White Lotus” will be set in Japan.
The White Lotus” is coming to Japan!
Set in a resort hotel and featuring characters from both the rich and working classes, “The White Lotus” is a highly acclaimed black comedy that takes a sharp look at social inequality. The location of the show changes each season, with Hawaii in the U.S. chosen for Season 1, and Sicily, Italy, chosen as the tourist destination for Season 2.
Season 3 is also in the works, but details are still unknown. However, an unexpected person may have leaked the information. Johnny Knoxville, who appeared in an interview with Vulture in the U.S., is famous for his yucky silly comedy “Jackass,” and the interviewer thought it would be funny if he appeared in “The White Lotus. The interviewer thought it would be interesting to see him in “The White Lotus.” When asked if he would be willing to appear in the film if offered the chance, he replied….
Mike White (creator of the drama) is a very close friend of mine. He and I have been to Tokyo together. I think that’s where the next…. Oops. I won’t divulge anything. I think I’ll call him as soon as I’m done with this interview.”
What a surprise, I just asked him if he was going to be in the drama, but then I found out that Season 3 may be set in Tokyo! I had no idea that he, who is not a cast member or production staff, would come out with such secret information.
Nevertheless, Mike has also commented several times in the past that he would like to set the next season in an Asian country, and in August 2022, he said on Vulture in the US, “If there is a season 3, I imagined the possibility of having a character from season 1…, say, reappear in Japan. He remarked. In a recap of the final episode of Season 2, he said, “The first season shined a light on money, and the next season was about sex. And maybe in Season 3 it will be something like an ironic or funny look at death, Eastern religions, and the spirit. I feel like it would be a good tapestry* to do something again with The White Lotus,” he said in an interview with Deadline in October 2022, “I think it would be interesting to go to a completely different continent. We have done Europe, so the next step would be Asia. It will be interesting in places where there are crazy elements,” he said.
*Referring to an intricate series of events.
This is information that Japanese fans would be overjoyed to hear! On the other hand, however, it is not clear whether it will be realized. Even the movie “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,” which is set in Japan and features many Japanese actors, was filmed mostly outside of Japan.
In Hollywood, Tokyo has become a hot location for filming. In an interview, Chloe Moretz and Jack Reynor revealed that they have been begging to shoot the drama “The Peripheral” in Tokyo, and the producers have even told them, “Maybe next season in Tokyo? The producer also told them, “Maybe next season in Tokyo?
The White Lotus” is not an action piece in the least, and in 2019, the reality show “Queer Eye: We’re in Japan!” hit the airwaves. Also, if “The White Lotus” is set in a resort, it could be filmed somewhere else in Japan, not in Tokyo. I hope it somehow comes to fruition, but we’ll see what happens.
