Will Greg Hunt (Jon Gries) Return in Season 3 of The White Lotus?

The White Lotus became a surprise hit for HBO when it premiered in 2021. The satirical comedy follows various guests and employees at the fictional White Lotus luxury resort chain. Each season takes place at a different location with a mostly new cast of characters. Fans love the storylines and are excited about the upcoming season 3!

Jennifer Coolidge’s Character Was Killed Off

After earning an Emmy for her performance in season 1, Jennifer Coolidge – affectionally known as J-Cool – reprised her role as eccentric heiress Tanya McQuoid in season 2. However, her character met an untimely demise in the season finale when she was murdered on a yacht trip. This seemingly rules out Coolidge returning for season 3, unless potentially in flashbacks.

What Will Season 3 Be About?

Creator Mike White has confirmed there will be a third season of The White Lotus, this time taking place at a resort in Asia. He hinted season 3 may focus on themes of death and Eastern religion. While each season features a new setting and core characters, some roles have carried over.

Will Greg Hunt Return?

One character fans are curious about is Tanya’s husband Greg Hunt, played by Jon Gries. It was revealed in season 2 that Greg had orchestrated Tanya’s murder in order to inherit her fortune. However, his plan went awry when she was killed prematurely.

Coolidge Hopes Greg Will Be Killed Off

In an interview, Coolidge said she hopes Greg will meet a grisly end in season 3. She fantasized Tanya could return as a seagull to poke out Greg’s eyes. Coolidge clearly wants to see the villain get his comeuppance after trying to swindle and murder Tanya.

Potential for More Greg and Portia Story

Creator Mike White hinted there could be more to explore with Greg and Portia’s characters following the events of season 2’s finale. Fans are left wondering if Greg will face any consequences for his role in Tanya’s death. White teased someone may eventually trace the crime back to Greg.

Will White Bring Greg Back?

While Greg’s return is not yet confirmed, White seems to relish leaving storylines open-ended to pick back up later. He brought back Coolidge for season 2 despite her character seeming neatly wrapped up in season 1. This indicates White enjoys revisiting characters and plot points.

Given Greg’s key role in Tanya’s demise and the lack of closure, it would make sense for White to continue his story. Whether Greg ultimately faces justice or somehow gets away with it remains to be seen. But it would be surprising not to see such a pivotal character return when there is still more of his story left to tell. Fans will have to wait anxiously for season 3 to see if the diabolical Greg Hunt checks back into The White Lotus one more time. And if he ends up in a meat grinder, well, Jennifer Coolidge won’t mind.
