We'd love to see some of these stars visit a White Lotus location!
The first two seasons of The White Lotus had some of the best casts on TV, and part of that is because of the strong queer leads of each season. In addition to great actors like Jennifer Coolidge, Steve Zahn, Connie Britton, Sydney Sweeney, Jake Lacy, F. Murray Abraham, Haley Lu Richardson, and Sabrina Impacciatore, there are great out actors leading the charge.
In season one, the White Lotus staff was lead by out actor Murray Bartlett, who won an Emmy for his role. Now, in season two, bisexual star Aubrey Plaza is delivering an award-worthy performance as a conflicted wife trying to come to terms with her newly-rich husband's new world.
Today, The White Lotus announced that it's been renewed for a third season, which will probably take place at a third White Lotus resort location, with a new cast of characters. Of course, we definitely want Jennifer Coolidge to return, but creator Mike White needs some new faces to play with.
So, which LGBTQ+ star should be the next lead of the show? Well, we've got some ideas.

Harvey Guillén
Guillen is a dark comedy delight on What We Do in the Shadows, so he'd be perfect for a role in the twisted world of The White Lotus.
Keke Palmer
Keke Palmer is the Queen! She starred in Nope this year and we are desperate to see more of her! Let's get her on The White Lotus!
Alia Shawkat
After starring in the twisted comedy Search Party, Shawkat certainly knows how to carry a mystery, and we'd love to see her do it in a beautiful location.
Cole Escola
We LOVE LOVE LOVE Cole Escola, and we'd love to see them as a devious hotel staff member in this show.
Colman Domingo
Doesn't Domingo look like he'd fit in perfectly in some swimming trunks, a button up shirt, and fedora lounging at a White Lotus resort? We think he does.
David Hyde Pierce
Pierce is perfect at playing an uptight and fussy customer. He'd be great at playing a wealthy and opinionated resort-stayer.
Elliot Page
Since he came out, Page hasn't had a chance to lead a prestige show like The White Lotus, so we'd love to see him do it!
Jonathan Bailey
The Bridgerton star knows how to turn up the sexiness and the drama and would be perfect for next season of Mike White's show.
Julio Torres
Can you imagine Torres as an eccentric resort-stayer? We definitely can! Mike White, make it happen!
Niecy Nash
After starring in Dahmer - Monster, Nash is one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood. She deserves a stay at the White Lotus!
