Below, EW spoke with White and Fahy about thoseSurvivorcameos, that opening scene, and more.
MIKE WHITE:[Laughs] Thanks!
Backstage I was like, “Oh s—, I won again?
Oh no, my career’s over.
I’ll be kicked to the curb.”
It really is likeSurvivorand I need to beg, “Don’t vote me off the island.”
Oh yeah, immediately.
Aside from Angelina and Kara, are there going to be moreSurvivorcameos this season?
WHITE:Well, I’m sad to say that’s it.
She was pregnant so that was a feat just getting them out there.
That’s it for this season.
But I’ll let them know Entertainment Weekly immediately spotted them!
I couldn’t believe it.
Those women are so lovely and wonderful and we had a blast.
The water stuff was a little bit trickier.
It was cool, though I had never shot anything in the ocean before so I was loving it.
But yeah, it gets a little cold after a while, obviously.
That’s really cool.
My mom’s going to freak out."
That’s the first thing that I thought, actually.
Is your mom a bigWhite Lotusfan?
My whole family watched the first season and they are just beside themselves.
They can’t wait to see me in this season.
When you met Angelina and Kara, were you asking them questions aboutSurvivor?
FAHY:I had so many questions.
If you’re going to watch one season, it should be that season."
And I had so many questions.
I was like, “Wait a minute, you really don’t have toothbrushes?”
And they’re like, “No.
We pooped in the ocean and we didn’t have toothbrushes.”
[Laughs] So yeah, I had a hundred questions and they answered all of them for me.
Were you constantly asking Mike questions aboutSurvivorthroughout filming too?
FAHY:Yeah, I was.
What happened at this point?"
I feel like he’s happy to talk about it.
Guess what I found out?"
And I’d be like, “Oh my God, no way!”
We were just having this whole littleSurvivorstudy all season.
What are you most excited for people to see from you this season?
You won’t know until the finale, but it’s pretty cool.
The White Lotusairs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and HBO Max.
