‘The White Lotus’ Drops Milos Bikovic From Cast – The Hollywood Reporter

Star Miloš Biković will certainly no more become part of The White Lotus.

HBO claims it “decided to part ways” with the star and will certainly modify the duty in the program’s honest 3rd period, which is readied to start shooting in Thailand this month. The modification follows Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Matters slammed Biković’s spreading over the Serbian-born star’s seeming assistance for Russia’s intrusion of Ukraine.

In a Jan. 24 social networks article, the ministry composed, “HBO, is it all right for you to work with a person who supports genocide & violates international law?” over a video of declarations Biković has actually made concerning Ukraine and the addition of Crimea. Biković has actually operated in Russia for the previous years; he got an honor from Vladimir Putin in 2018 and ended up being a Russian person in 2021.

In a declaration of his very own, Biković stated,“I was honored to be chosen to be a part of White Lotus, a TV series that I hold in high regard and with colleagues whom I deeply respect. However, my participation is not possible due to reasons beyond the realm of art and I will not bow to any narrative that seeks to compromise my integrity. I would like to thank everyone who stood by me. I wish my colleagues great success in creating the next season.”

Biković became part of a cast that consists of period one routine Natasha Rothwell, Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Michelle Monaghan, Tayme Thapthimthong, Carrie Coon, Christian Friedel, Morgana O’Reilly, Lek Patravadi, Shalini Peiris, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Aimee Lou Timber.

Designer, author and supervisor Mike White exec generates the collection with David Bernad and Mark Kamine.
