A ‘White Lotus’ Scene Was Censored in India, but It’s Not the One You Might Think

  • Creator Mike White decided to cut a non-binary storyline from The White Lotus due to a political 'vibe shift,' stating it felt right in March of last year.
  • Carrie Coon, a star of The White Lotus, mentioned that the political climate and anti-trans legislation influenced the decision to cut her character's non-binary child, but was not the only reason for its removal.
  • Coon revealed that her character, Laurie Duffy, was originally going to have a non-binary child using 'they' pronouns, which would have been referenced in a scene.
  • White noted that while the political aspect was a factor, the episodes needed trimming for runtime in response to HBO's request for shorter episodes.
