The hit-show The White Lotus may have a new member joining its star-studded cast for the upcoming fourth season. Filmmaker Mike White, who created the ongoing HBO series, was spotted with actress Laura Dern on Thursday in Los Angeles. The two were seen chatting while grabbing smoothies at Sunlife Organic in Brentwood, much to the delight of fans who speculated that she may appear in the next season of The White Lotus. Dern, 58, previously had a voice cameo in the show’s second season as estranged wife, Abby, to Dominic Di Grasso, played by Michael Imperioli. The pair’s public sighting has caused speculation on whether the actress will officially join the show. White has also brought back one of his White Lotus alums each season. Jennifer Coolidge returned in Season 2 as Tanya McQuoid and in Season 3 Natasha Rothwell returned as Belinda Lindsey. White, 55, has previously worked with the award-winning actress on Enlightened, a television series from 2011 lasting two seasons. The White Lotus was initially released in 2021. A fourth season was confirmed to be underway earlier this year, though the official release date is still unknown with White making an appearance on the new season of Survivor. The television series has won several Emmy and Golden Globe awards.
