    Jennie Garth is "bummed" about losing out on a role in White Lotus

    The Beverly Hills 90210 actress admitted she auditioned for a part in the third series of Mike White's satirical comedy anthology series and was devastated not to land the role.


    Speaking on her I Choose Me With Jennie Garth podcast, she told guest Susan Lucci, 79: "For me, one of the roles that I have recently not gotten that I was bummed about was one of the characters on White Lotus.

    "And they shot that season in Thailand, which I would have really loved. So I was bummed about that. I'm not gonna lie."

    It is unclear what role Jennie, 53, auditioned for but season three featured a fictional Hollywood actress Jaclyn (played by Michelle Monaghan), who was on a girls' trip with her close friends Kate (Leslie Bibb) and Laurie (Carrie Coon).

    Another possible role Jennie could have played was that of Victoria Ratliff (played by Parker Posey), who was vacationing with her husband, Timothy, and their three children.

    Meanwhile, Mike - who finished as the runner-up on Survivor's 37th season - recently cast Helena Bonham Carter, Chris Messina and Marissa Long in White Lotus season four.

    They join previously announced cast members including Steve Coogan, Caleb Jonte Edwards, Alexander Ludwig and AJ Michalka for the new series, which will be set in France.

    This will be Long's TV debut, with the model writing on Instagram: "I'll try to make this short and sweet But I am absolutely raw right now!!! I am so in the middle of so many feelings and I'm unbelievably honored to be joining this with such incredible people.

    "And Thank you Mike white!!!!!!!!!! I'm speechless and cannot wait for this journey, feeling deeply blessed.. LETS GO!!!! (sic)"

    According to Variety, season four will follow "a new group of White Lotus hotel guests and employees over the span of a week".

    Mike White will serve as writer, director and ex ecutive producer of the new series, with David Bernad and Mark Kamine acting as ex ecutive producers.

    Mike previously told Unpacking the Episode on HBO Max: "For the fourth season, I want to get a little bit out of the 'crashing waves against rocks' vernacular. But there's always room for more murders at the White Lotus hotels."
