The White Lotus creator teases series prequel with Jennifer Coolidge
The White Lotus season 2 finale spoilers follow.
The White Lotus creator Mike White has teased that Jennifer Coolidge could still play Tanya McQuoid in a future season of the show.
The duo were attending the Sydney Film Festival when White floated the idea of exploring some of Tanya's past in a prequel series (which it would have to be, seeing as the character died at the end of season 2).
"I absolutely think that's possible, we were just talking about that," White told the audience (via Deadline). "It's a funny idea. And making Jennifer, you know, 20 years younger, that would be fun too.
"I think Jennifer's like, 'Sure, let's do it!'"
With the show taking place in Hawaii then Sicily and soon-to-be Thailand, where could the Tanya-focused prequel go? "Australia gets my vote," Coolidge said.
"My dream would be to hit every continent, so yeah, this is like its own continent, basically," White added. "We kind of have to come to Australia if we keep going.
"It would be so fun. Obviously, there's a huge wealth of talent here and the beauty is inarguable, so it feels like it checks all the boxes."
Coolidge previously hinted that she'd like Tanya to return in a season set after season 2, reincarnated as a seagull so she could poke out the eyes of her evil husband Greg, who tried to have her murdered.
Meanwhile, White recently stated that there is the possibility of an 'all-stars' season, bringing back multiple characters from different seasons for a brand-new mystery.
The White Lotus airs on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK.
