Jason Isaacs Calls The White Lotus Season 3 Shoot an 'Open Prison Camp'; Says Alliances Were 'Formed and Broken'
The White Lotus star Jason Isaacs recently opened up about filming the series, revealing the tensions and challenges the cast and crew faced on set.
Now that The White Lotus has wrapped up with its most mind-blowing season yet, the actors associated with it are opening up about their experience. One of them is Jason Isaacs, who played a truly intriguing role in the thrilling series.
Isaacs portrayed Timothy Ratliff, aka Tim—a businessman with dark secrets, vacationing in Thailand with his family.
Recently, in a conversation with The Guardian, the actor reflected on what it was like to be part of the grand ensemble of the widely beloved series.
“It was a theater camp, but to some extent an open prison camp—you couldn’t avoid one another,” said the actor, who also entertained audiences with his memorable role in Harry Potter.
He went on to admit that filming came with its share of “tensions and difficulties,” adding that he wasn’t sure if the drama stayed on-screen or spilled off-screen as well.
The Death of Stalin star also revealed that he witnessed shifting dynamics on set, saying, “I saw alliances that formed and broke, romances that formed and broke,” hinting at the emotional intensity behind the scenes.

Speaking about friendships on set, Jason Isaacs noted that it was a long stretch for everyone involved — from the production crew to the cast — to be away from their families, “with an open bar and all the wildness being in Thailand allows.”
He also admitted he wasn’t entirely removed from the off-screen drama, confessing there were moments when things were “not quite so fond.”
“I was in some ways used to it, but within a couple of weeks my wife [who was with him on set and used to be an actor] said, ‘Some of these people are f***ing mad.’ I told her, ‘No, it’s just a bunch of actors away on location, love,’” Jason Isaacs added with a laugh.
The White Lotus has officially been renewed for a fourth season.
