Sydney Sweeney, who starred in The White Lotus, would ideally partner with one of her co-stars in a romantic comedy. In the first season of The White Lotus, Sweeney played the affluent Olivia Mossbacher, a college student who traveled to Hawaii with her family and friend Paula (Brittany O’Grady). Sweeney, who is most known for playing Cassie in Euphoria, took on a more understated role in Sam Levinson’s lighter and humorous HBO drama The White Lotus.
Sweeney reacted to a message asking to see her in more romantic comedies in a British GQ video. The actor admitted that even though she enjoyed the genre, she was hesitant to try comedy until she got a part in The White Lotus, which made her think about doing additional comic roles. Sweeney offered a romantic comedy that would include her and Jennifer Coolidge as the leads. Due to her prior roles in comedies like Legally Blonde and Single All the Way, Coolidge has some expertise in the genre. View Sweeney’s comments below:
“Aw, I would love to. I grew up loving romcoms. I used to be so scared of doing comedies but after doing White Lotus, which was like a mixture of the two, I really want to do more. Could you image if I did a romcom with Jennifer Coolidge? That’d be amazing.”
Is Sydney Sweeney returning for the second season of ‘The White Lotus’?
As the only performer to appear in both seasons of The White Lotus (her character’s spouse made brief cameos in season 2), Coolidge portrays Tanya McQuoid in seasons 1 and 2. Coolidge rose to fame for her seductive appearance and comedic skills after playing Stifler’s (Seann William Scott) mother in the 1999 film American Pie. She just returned to the public eye thanks largely to her heartbreaking and funny performances in both seasons of The White Lotus. Sadly, due to her untimely passing in season 2, which was shown this year, it seems doubtful that her character will make a comeback in The White Lotus season 3.
There have been rumors regarding whether another well-known figure may appear in The White Lotus season 3 since that Coolidge won’t be a recurrent character to help connect the seasons of the anthology program. While Greg (Jon Gries), Tanya’s husband, has been given consideration, his unpopularity, especially in light of the events of season 2, makes him an unlikely choice to continue Tanya’s dazzling legacy. Tanya was carried over from season to season, so it seems reasonable that season 3 will function in the same manner. As a result, any of the characters from season 2 may return.
Sweeney could return to her role as Olivia in The White Lotus season 3 if the show deviates from tradition and brings back a season 1 character, either with or without the quirky members of her family. The location of the third season of the well-liked satirical program is unclear, although Olivia has considerable leeway because she is a college student. The prospect of a spring break-themed third season of The White Lotus, maybe situated in Mexico, arises from the character’s probable return to a White Lotus resort during one of her school holidays. If not, maybe Sweeney will achieve her desire and collaborate with Coolidge again in the future.
