First, Bravo gifts fans with The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip and then, Mike White hints at a potential White Lotus all-star season. The TV gods are surely shining down on us!

The hit HBO show, which is gearing up for Season 3, is known for its high-profile casting. From Sydney Sweeney to Jennifer Coolidge to Aubrey Plaza, there is certainly no shortage of talent.

And while the show has switched out its casts entirely (with the exception of Coolidge) between its first and second seasons, White is open to the idea of bringing some of them back — though it may prove tricky with Coolidge’s character Tanya, as she suffered an unfortunate ending in Season 2.

 “It would be easy to just be full-on anthology, but I think it’s more fun to have little threads through the show,” White told The Hollywood Reporter. “If the show goes on for a couple of seasons, it would be fun to have an all-star season.”

While we may be waiting a while to see a full-blown all-star season, it was confirmed that fan favorite Season 1 star Natasha Rothwell would be reprising her role as spa manager Belinda in the upcoming installment of the series.

When we last saw Belinda, she received an envelope filled with cash after spending the entire season being strung along by Coolidge’s wealthy character, who failed to uphold her promise of a business deal with the resort employee.

Meanwhile, Season 1 star Connie Britton also teased the potential for her return during a previous interview with Deadline.

“[White] wanted me to be in the second season, and there was an idea that I loved for the character,” she said. “Our intention is to do it in the third season. A piece of casting didn’t work in the second season and we’re hoping to that in the third season. I would love to see a spinoff on every character in that show.”

The White Lotus Seasons 1 and 2 are currently streaming on Max.
