The White Lotus wraps Season 3 tonight. And, by the end of the finale, at least one of our beloved stars will be floating dead in that Taiwanese Thai pond. Will the Russians murder Carrie Coon for witnessing the stolen jewels? Will Greg/Gary axe Belinda to cover up Tanya's murder? Will a monkey attack Parker Posey for no reason? The options are endless.

But as Season 3 comes to its bloody conclusion, we're already thinking ahead to Season 4 and the endless options that series creator Mike White has at his disposal. We've now had the pleasure of watching three seasons of the hotel chain-centered series, and the casts have nestled into resorts in Hawaii, Italy and Thailand. We've witnessed family vacations, BFF trips, honeymoons and, of course, a long con to get an internship at a Buddhist temple. So what will happen in Season 4? Well, we've got some ideas.
While we all sit patiently and wait (possibly with the help of some Lorazepam) for Mike White to deliver Season 4 of The White Lotus to HBO, here are some fun ideas for where the franchise could go. And Mr. White, if you'd like to hire me as a creative consultant, I am more than happy to spend six months hanging out at a five-star resort!

Ideas for The White Lotus Season 4
Not an original thought, but the internet is clamoring for a snowy setting after three seasons in beautiful, sunny locales. While a season in Switzerland, Norway or Canada would certainly provide some visual interest, it also opens up some new plots. An avalanche? Someone stranded on a mountain with a broken leg? A ski pole stabbing? What's not to love?!
Cast some old people
Through three seasons, the cast has remained relatively young, with F. Murray Abraham's horny grandfather as the sole representative for the older generation. Lux resorts are often PACKED with retirees, and lord knows there's an endless supply of great actors to choose from. Patti LuPone and Lily Tomlin as widows? Diane Keaton married to John Lithgow? June Squibb on a Vespa? I beg of you.

HBO
The most cursed of all vacations is the bachelorette trip. I've yet to hear from a friend returning from one with anything but an endless string of complaints. While it would certainly call for a larger cast, I think a five-woman hen party could be the perfect way to cause drama and stoke the annoyance of everyone else at the resort that week.
Show us who gets murdered
The first three seasons have opened with an unidentified body. But what if, ala The Secret History, we knew who died right away? Then viewers would get to spend the season trying to figure out how and why the guest was found stabbed rather than just who got knifed.
All three seasons so far have also taken place in more remote, resort-focused locations. What about a season in a bustling metropolis? London? Tokyo? Buenos Aires? There are lots of cities to choose from, and boy, would I love to see the cast riding around on a double-decker bus or at Serendipity 3.
Invent the White Lotus Cruise Line
While cruises are often not that glamorous, I do think the saga of that year-long cruise as well as Triangle of Sadness, have given me a fascination with the idea of rich people trapped together in close quarters. This season would undoubtedly be a pressure cooker, with at least one person getting tossed overboard.
Bring back Sydney Sweeney
Through three seasons, I've still yet to be more taken with a character than Sweeney's Olivia Mossbacher. No one has ever been quite as terrifying yet captivating at the same time. From asking if "grandpa was a power bottom" to toting around large vacation books, she was a meme queen, and I'm dying to have her back on my screen. Perhaps she's the bride throwing the bachelorette party?

As a journalist, I can attest firsthand to the bizarre vibes created when a bunch of poor, bookish writers are sent somewhere usually inhabited by posh, wealthy socialites. If Mike White is looking for ways to inject seasons with the high/low class dynamics that aren't just focused on the hotel staff, this would be an easy way to do it.
Cast a pop star
I'd love a pop star playing a pop star. While I enjoy having Jaclyn the actress on the show and LISA is fun, I just think having Lady Gaga on The White Lotus would be even better, especially if there was a concert set piece for some reason. Pop stars I'd also accept include Charli XCX, Dua Lipa and Janet Jackson.
Resorts are FAMOUS for hosting conferences, and I think that would also add an interesting wrinkle to the comings and goings. We'd also get some boss/employee dynamics in the mix, and this is the perfect opportunity to stunt cast Sandra Oh. Or maybe have a cross-promotion with Max series The Pitt and bring over Noah Wyle!
Focus on a gay friend group
Every season of the show has included some sort of male-on-male sexual scene, but we've yet to see a gay relationship within the main cast. Certainly, Mike White has experienced the layered dynamics within a gay friend group where people's exes, hookups, friendships, crushes and relationships all meld together. It's high time we get some annoying gays front and center at the White Lotus.
Give us a Jeff Probst cameo
Every season Mike White has recruited contestants from his season of Survivor to join him for cameos on The White Lotus. While we've still got quite a few contestants from that season to work through, I'd like to petition for Probst himself to check in to The White Lotus. Perhaps Jeff will end up having his torch snuffed before the season ends.
