The third season of The White Lotus is already drawing praise for Mike White ’s latest exploration of how terribly privileged people can behave in a beautiful setting. Now one of its stars Aimee Lou Wood has shared that filming the show in a luxurious Thai resort was like participating in a “social experiment.”

Before The White Lotus, Wood’s breakout role was as the abused teenager Aimee Gibbs in Sex Education, her first project after graduating from drama school. Her performance earned her a BAFTA, and she told The Guardian, “We had no idea how big it was going to be.”

After having her breakthrough moment in the Netflix teen comedy Sex Education, Aimee Lou Wood is no stranger to filming an intimate scene or two. However, Aimee has revealed that shooting her latest sex scenes in season three of The White Lotus was different to all of her on-sex experiences so far.
