The White Lotus Finds Its Latest Alt-Comedy Queen

Recent appearances by Jennifer Coolidge in The Minecraft Movie and Parker Posey in Gap commercials suggest a strong desire for the cast of The White Lotus to bring back beloved, unconventional comedic actresses. Next up is Sandra Bernhard, who will join the next season of Mike White’s HBO series, continuing the show’s tradition of featuring iconic but often overlooked female comedians. Bernhard is best known for her stand-up show, Without You, I’m Nothing, With You, I’m Not Much Better, which was also turned into a film and album. She’s since appeared in shows and films like Marty Supreme, Pose, and American Horror Story: NYC. Now, she has the opportunity to become a viral sensation on TikTok, just like the women who inspired her.

The next season of The White Lotus will take place in France. The confirmed cast includes Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Coogan, Chris Messina, AJ Michalka of Aly & AJ, Alexander Ludwig, and newcomers Caleb Jonte Edwards and Marissa Long. With a mix of established stars, comedic talent, and fresh faces, the cast now just needs some local characters to really bring the chaos and complete the ensemble.
