Elizabeth Banks Wants to Be ‘Murdered So Badly’ on ‘The White Lotus’

Elizabeth Banks Wants to Be ‘Murdered So Badly’ on ‘The White Lotus’
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Ready for vacation! The White Lotus has been a critical darling since its 2021 premiere — and Bette Midler is one star of many who would check into the fictional hotel in a “New York minute.”

“It’s a big sendup. [Series creator] Mike White pokes fun at the worst kind of people, the truly entitled and rich people behaving badly. Everybody likes to see them get their comeuppance. I really enjoy that,” the First Wives Club star told Variety in a February 2023 interview. “It’s the great saga of the haves and the have-nots, which is eternal. I do tend to watch the stuff that’s — I don’t want to say hopeful — but I do like to laugh. I love to laugh, but there’s just not enough laughter. So I really do look for the stuff that makes me laugh.”

The White Lotus premiered in July 2021 on HBO and acts as a satirical anthology series. The show tracks guests and employees over the course of a week during their stay at a fictional resort chain as they unleash their worst, most privileged impulses. The first two seasons, which were set in Hawaii and Sicily, respectively, received praise for their writing and performances, taking home a total of 11 Emmys and countless other awards between them. 

In November 2022, the show was renewed for a third season. After the season 2 finale the following month, White shared during HBO Max’s Unpacking S2 E7 special that the next installment may take place in Asia and focus on “death and Eastern religion and spirituality.”

“The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex,” he explained. “I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality. It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.”

Due to its overwhelming critical success and undeniable popularity, celebrities have been vocal about wanting a chance to join the cast in future seasons. Hayden Panettiere told E! News in March 2023 that booking a role on the show was at the top of her to-do list after returning to the acting world for Scream VI. 

“I want to do it so bad,” she gushed. “I want to do it, like Tom Cruise jumping on [a] couch bad.”

When it came to how she could see herself fitting into the White Lotus universe, the Nashville alum cited Jennifer Coolidge’s breakout character, Tanya McQuoid — a role that won the Legally Blonde star multiple Emmys, Critics Choice Awards and a Golden Globe — as her way into the fold.

“She is my favorite, I love her,” Panettiere shared at the time. “I will be her anything — bag holder, shoe shiner, I will be her guardian angel, I will be her long-lost child. I will be whatever she wants me to be.” (Coolidge’s character was found dead in the ocean during the season 2 finale, but was one of only two actors brought back for both installments.)

Banks revealed during a December 2023 episode of Live! With Kelly and Mark that she was making her upcoming firm Migration during the first two seasons of The White Lotus, but wanted to jump into the casting pool for season 3. 

“I want to be murdered so badly on The White Lotus. Kill me. Please, kill me,” she said before begging hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos to help her in her plea. “Tell him!”

“Everybody knows that we’re Mike White’s favorite talk show,” Ripa replied, before addressing White directly. “Mike White, please put your friend Elizabeth Banks in White Lotus season 3 or 4. We’ll take either one.”

Janelle James

During an April 2023 interview with Variety, the Abbott Elementary star confessed that she hosted the WGA Awards one month prior in order to “schmooze” White for a role on the series.

“I want people to see me outside of the character of Ava. I am not Ava; I am acting. I’m not ashamed to be Ava, but when people say, ‘You’re just like your character,’ that’s an insult,” she explained to the outlet. “I’m doing a lot of work to bring this bitch to life.”

“I want to do it so bad,” the Heroes alum gushed to E! in March 2023. “I want to do it, like Tom Cruise jumping on [a] couch bad.” 

Panettiere added that Coolidge’s Tanya was her “favorite” character on the show and would be willing to do “anything” involving the American Pie star.  “Bag holder, shoe shiner, I will be her guardian angel, I will be her long-lost child. I will be whatever she wants me to be,” she gushed.

The Dead to Me alum — who is “good pals” with White and producer Dave Bernad — told E! In January 2023 that he’d love to check into the White Lotus. 

“That is one of my favorite shows. That’s one that I’ve been following very closely.,” he shared. “Yeah, I’m in for [starring next season] … Let’s see if we can make it work.”

When asked by E! in January 2023 if she would be interested in joining the cast of the HBO hit, the Abbott Elementary star replied, “Oh, honey, please. Call me, don’t be afraid to just call me.”

Jamie Lee Curtis

When Haley Lu Richardson — who portrayed Portia on season 2 of the series — campaigned for the Halloween actress to star in season 3 of White Lotus at the 2023 SAG Awards, Curtis agreed without hesitation despite not being very familiar with the series. 

“Yes. I don’t even know what it is, but I will do it,” she joked, before asking where it shot. When Richardson explained it was filmed in “beautiful places around the world,” the Everything Everywhere All At Once star was convinced.

“Twitter it. Or whatever,” she quipped.

Bette Midler

The Beaches star told Variety in February 2023 that she would join the White Lotus cast in a “New York minute” — mostly due to White’s writing talent. 

“It’s a big sendup. Mike White pokes fun at the worst kind of people, the truly entitled and rich people behaving badly. Everybody likes to see them get their comeuppance. I really enjoy that,” she explained. “It’s the great saga of the haves and the have-nots, which is eternal. I do tend to watch the stuff that’s — I don’t want to say hopeful — but I do like to laugh.”

Pamela Anderson

Drew Barrymore asked the Baywatch alum during a February 2023 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show if she was aware of the fan campaign to get her on the series. 

“I heard about it,” the Canada native said. “I can’t get it in Canada because my HBO app doesn’t work because my Apple ID is American.  … I want to watch it … I heard everyone loves it and it’s crazy. I’m up for anything.”

The Never Been Kissed star, for her part, called The White Lotus a “masterpiece,” prompting Anderson to suggest the twosome go on the show together and play “sisters.” 

“Yeah. Should we call Mike White?” Barrymore quipped. “Maybe we should call him,” Anderson agreed. “Oh, that’s funny.”

Jennifer Aniston Is 'Obsessed' With 'White Lotus'

Jennifer Aniston

The Friends alum shared her adoration for Coolidge in a March 2023 interview with Extra, adding that she would “love” to join the cast of the HBO hit.

That same month, Aniston told E! News she was “obsessed” with the show.

“Remember when Mike said at the Golden Globes, ‘I know you all passed on it!’” the Horrible Bosses star recalled, referencing White’s 2023 acceptance speech about A-listers not wanting to work on his TV series. “I didn’t! I didn’t even get a call.”
