Emma Roberts, known for her dynamic roles in television and film, has publicly shared her enthusiasm to be part of the next season of The White Lotus, even if it means playing the unfortunate murder victim.
In a recent interview with Pop Sugar, the 34-year-old actress expressed her deep admiration for the hit HBO series. With her trademark humor and candor, Roberts revealed that she’s such a dedicated fan of the show that she would gladly take on even the most unexpected role — that of a lifeless body.
“I’m unwell from The White Lotus. I want to be on next season, but that’s such a dumb thing to say because who doesn’t?” she said with a laugh. Her passionate statement highlights the widespread popularity of the show, which has become a global sensation for its mix of dark comedy, mystery, and social commentary.
Roberts didn’t stop there. She enthusiastically added, “I’ll just be the body,” underscoring her willingness to appear on the series in any capacity. Her comments reflect just how far she’s willing to go for a spot on the much-talked-about series — even if it means playing a character who doesn’t survive the first episode.
The White Lotus has garnered critical acclaim since its debut in 2021, drawing in both viewers and stars alike with its unique blend of satire and suspense, all set in luxurious resorts across the globe. With each season, the show has featured a brand-new cast and location, while following the same format of slowly unraveling a dark mystery, often involving a murder.
HBO officially renewed the show for a fourth season on January 22, 2025. However, as of now, the cast for the upcoming season remains under wraps. This has led to much speculation and excitement among fans and celebrities alike — with Emma Roberts now adding her name to the long list of actors eager to join the franchise.
Although Roberts is no stranger to mystery and horror, having starred in shows like American Horror Story and Scream Queens, she confessed that she wasn’t an early adopter of The White Lotus phenomenon.
“I’m always late to the party,” she admitted during the interview. “I always read and watch things after everyone’s already talked about it, and then everyone’s like, ‘Shut up, we’ve already talked about it.’ So I was late to The White Lotus and now I’m totally addicted.”
Her late discovery didn’t stop her from binge-watching the show and becoming one of its most enthusiastic supporters. Like many fans, Roberts found herself pulled into the addictive world of The White Lotus, where wealth, privilege, and secrets collide in gripping, unexpected ways.
Given her passion for the show and her impressive acting credentials, fans are now left wondering whether creators might take note of her interest and include her in the next season. While nothing has been confirmed, her eagerness to participate — even in a non-speaking role — showcases her commitment and appreciation for the storytelling style of The White Lotus.
Emma Roberts has long been known for her versatility and willingness to embrace offbeat, eccentric roles, and her enthusiasm for The White Lotus only adds to her appeal. Whether she ends up playing a key character or making a surprise cameo, her presence would certainly add another layer of intrigue to the much-anticipated fourth season.
As the buzz continues around the show’s return, one thing is certain: Emma Roberts is ready to pack her bags and check into The White Lotus — even if it’s just as the season’s next big twist.
