After two seasons examining wealth privilege and social dynamics, Mike White’s drama The White Lotus has turned its satirical gaze on the themes of religion and spirituality in season 3.
And the vehicles of his satire this time around? A brand new cast including three longtime friends played by Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon and Michelle Monaghan, and a couple with a big age gap portrayed by Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins.
Another newcomer to the franchise in season 3 is Patrick Schwarzenegger, who plays Saxon Ratcliffe – a member of this season’s central family.
The family is rounded out by Timothy (Jason Isaacs) and Victoria Ratliff (Parker Posey), their daughter Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) and their other son Lochlan (Sam Nivola).
Wondering who Patrick is and what you’ve seen him in before? Read on for everything you need to know.

He appears in the main cast of The White Lotus season 3 as Saxon, the eldest son of this season’s central family.
Each season of the show so far has featured a crew of horrible characters, and season 3 looks to be no different, with Patrick recently telling The Hollywood Reporter that his character in the show is a “douche”.
Patrick is the son of Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator), who recently responded to his son’s casting in an Instagram post.
Arnold shared a photo of him and his son at the premiere of The White Lotus season 3, and also revealed that Patrick will have a nude scene in the show.
In an apparent reference to his own nude scene in The Terminator, he wrote: “I was so pumped to take a break from filming to celebrate @patrickschwarzenegger at the White Lotus Season 3 premiere. What a show!
“I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say – the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Don’t miss it this Sunday – trust me.”

What has Patrick Schwarzenegger said about starring in The White Lotus season 3?
Talking about how landing a part in The White Lotus was a dream come true, he recently told GQ: “It’s something that me and my family and Abby [Champion watched] each and every Sunday when it was out for the first and second season, especially during COVID.”
He continued: “It was funny because every time we would watch it, my family would always just say, ‘Why didn’t you audition for this show? Why aren’t you in this? This role would’ve been perfect for you, blah, blah, blah.’
“Finally, when I got the audition for this, it was like, OK, I got to nail this. I got to get this.”
Meanwhile, the actor recently told Today that he initially didn’t reveal the news of his casting to anyone except his fiancée, Abby Champion – that is, until his mother noticed he was “acting weird” at a family gathering.
“They thought Abby was pregnant,” he revealed, before adding, “And they just kept, like, hounding me, hounding me, hounding me.”
He added that he had received a strict warning that his casting was “top secret”.
“I didn’t even tell [my dad] because I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to tell him and then he tells some other person in the industry,'” Schwarzenegger continued.
Champion “was the first person I told and that’s the only person I told”.

He continued: “I mean, it’s just that Saxon has this false perception and idea of what he thinks makes a man and who he thinks he is, and he’s trying to groom his younger brother to become that.
