Charlotte Le Bon replaces Francesca Corney in a recast role for HBO’s The White Lotus Season 3. The season is currently being filmed in Thailand.
Charlotte Le Bon has joined the cast of HBO’s The White Lotus Season 3, stepping into a role originally slated for Francesca Corney. Sources close to production revealed the recasting decision, citing the need for an older actress for the part. Details about Le Bon’s character are being kept under wraps.
This marks the second recasting for the upcoming season. Previously, HBO parted ways with Serbian actor Miloš Biković, who had expressed support for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Bulgarian actor Julian Kostov was cast as his replacement.
Season 3 of The White Lotus is currently in production in Thailand, with filming locations including Bangkok and the islands of Koh Samui and Phuket. The new season will follow a new group of guests at another White Lotus property, including a multigenerational gang with a patriarch, a female corporate executive, an actress, a couple of mothers, a country club wife, a misfit, and a yogi.
“The first season highlighted money, and then the second season is sex. I think the third season will be a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality,” the series’ creator Mike White said in the aftershow of the season two finale. “It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.”
