Schwarzenegger plays the eldest son of a wealthy family alongside siblings Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola. The Mike White-scripted series satirizes the lives of the wealthy on vacation at a fictional chain of high-end resorts. The first season aired in 2021 and was set in Hawaii, while 2022’s second season took place in Sicily. The third season moves the action to Thailand. “What it shows is that The White Lotus is a franchise now so totally in command of its own appeal that it can be transferred anywhere.”.

However, several viewers commented that they were shocked by the hints of a potentially incestuous relationship between the three siblings of the Ratliff family. After they arrive at the resort, eldest son Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) protests that his sister Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) should not sleep in the same room as youngest child Lochlan (Sam Nivola) as they have “full grown genitals.”.
