The creator and dozens of cast and crew reveal all the inside gossip, incestuous drama and behind-the-scenes mischief of TV’s most sensational hit.

Mike White wanted “ The White Lotus ” Season 3 to trip up viewers — literally. The series creator apparently dreamt up the outrageous plotline for the season while location scouting in Thailand. During his trip, White became ill and was on heavy meds…ones that proved to inspire certain arcs for “The White Lotus.”

There may have been grumbles about the slow pace of The White Lotus's third season. Some even believe that the show has run its course. Us? We're still entertained, and it’s still doing big numbers for HBO Max and Sky.
