“This was the best job I ever had,” said Abraham, 83, in his speech. “And not only because of this really remarkable, wonderful family of actors, but because [creator] Mike [White] and [executive producers] David [Bernad] and Mark [Kamine] pulled together an international company of technicians and actors. And we all lived together in the same place, we all ate together, and we all worked together. So this is not only for the actors, this is for the entire company.”

The White Lotuswas an overnight success after its July 2021 premiere. The second season also went up for a number of Emmys this past fall, withJennifer Coolidge scoring a winfor her work. (She also won a SAG Award for her acting on Sunday.)

“The first season we highlighted money and then the second season is sex,” creator White shared an HBO Max featurette for the show, which was renewed for a third season in November. “And I think the third season, it would be maybe a kind of satirical and funny look at death in Eastern religion and spirituality — it feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.”
