Although White's own Survivor 50 journey ended early after he was voted out fourth, the creator said the experience unexpectedly helped him work on the new season of The White Lotus. "Of course I was bummed," White recalled during the finale. "I took a day to like nurse my wounds, but after that I got to work."
"Nobody knew where I was, I didn't have a phone," the School of Rock actor added. "So, just being able to write White Lotus season four was like a gift in and of itself," according to E! News. Season four of The White Lotus will star Kumail Nanjiani, Rosie Perez, Laura Dern, Max Greenfield and Steve Coogan.
