Patrick Schwarzenegger, the eldest son of iconic action star Arnold Schwarzenegger, will star in the upcoming season of The White Lotus. After just two seasons, The White Lotus has become incredibly popular, and the 30-year-old actor is excited to be part of season three. Earlier, Schwarzenegger shared some behind-the-scenes pictures with the other cast members of the show.

The Midnight Sun actor shared a post by one of the show’s fan pages, The White Lotus Resort. The images featured many of the cast members from the set in Thailand. The first image captured Patrick Schwarzenegger with cast member Sam Nivola. The Conjuring 3 actor Sarah Catherine Hook and Aimee Lou Wood of Sex Education fame also smiled for the camera.

The post that Patrick Schwarzenegger shared also contained a few other pictures that the cast snapped. The second picture in the carousel featured a selfie by Primetime Emmy Award nominee Walton Goggins. While Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver’s son weren’t present in the snapshot, Amiee Lou Wood and Leslie Bibb shared the frame with Goggins.

Another photograph captured veteran actor Parker Posey, who has starred in films like Dazed and Confused (1993), You’ve Got Mail (1998), Blade: Trinity (2004), and many more. The final shot was a blurry photo of Walton Goggins trying to balance on the backrest of a sofa. While the makers have not talked about the details of the plot or release date, filming is well underway.

“Unforgettable experiences are in the making at #TheWhiteLotus. We are eager to welcome new guests to our resort in Thailand,” posted the show’s official social media handle on February 14, 2024. Sam Nivola also posted some photos featuring the eldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Iris Apatow on April 7. 

The previous seasons of the show have garnered critical acclaim. The White Lotus, season two, even won a Golden Globe. So, season three has a lot to live up to. However, the casting choices haven’t disappointed fans. Even Patrick Schwarzenegger’s family rejoiced when he landed a role in the show.

Will The White Lotus be Patrick what Conan was for Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Katherine Schwarzenegger, the elder sister of Patrick Schwarzenegger, celebrated getting cast in the upcoming season of The White Lotus. “BRB just crying happy tears for my brother,” she wrote on social media. His mother and ex-wife Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver, also praised her boy for getting to star in a Golden Globe-winning show.

While Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t post anything on social media, he understands how a breakthrough could help progress his son’s career. Arnie got his breakthrough in 1982 when he starred in Conan the Barbarian. Similarly, a captivating performance in The White Lotus could act as Patrick’s breakthrough for bigger things in Hollywood.

The White Lotus won’t hit television screens before 2025, and the actors are busy filming the show. So fans can expect many more such behind-the-scenes looks before learning about the release date.
