(NewsNation) — Natasha Rothwell is coming back to “The White Lotus.”
Reprising her role as a spa manager, Rothwell spent five months filming around Thailand, but I’m told the majority of her scenes were done at the Anantara Phuket, which boasts a particularly resplendent spa.
According to the Anantara Phuket site: “Walk on water and into a treatment suite for two hidden away amidst lush foliage. Soak in an al fresco bath before laying down side by side for bespoke massages. Revive from the inside with yoga, Ayurveda and juice cleanses. Anantara Spa offers award-winning wellness journeys overlooking a lagoon filled with blooming lotuses.”
“It was wonderful being in Thailand. I was there for five months,” Rothwell said on Sirius XM’s The Jess Cagle Show with Julia Cunningham. “Our key cards worked one way because they wanted to know who was leaving. It was a five-star prison, but I loved it.”
“But it was so different this time because the first time we were in basically one location for the entirety of the shooting,” Rothwell added. “And (now) we have the freedom to be shooting on location all over the place over Thailand.”
