Not much is known about the next season just yet.
"I guess the cat's out of the bag," said Kenworthy. "I'm So F*cking Shook ILSM."

Arnold and Patrick Schwarzenegger discuss The White Lotus and nude roles

        Youtube.com/@variety
    
The most recent season of Mike White’s The White Lotus gave us everything from Jason Isaac’s penis to an incest storyline involving Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Saxon Ratliff and his on-screen brother, Lochlan, played by Sam Nivola.
In a recent interview with Variety, Patrick’s dad, the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger, had some thoughts on his son’s nudity that is raising eyebrows across the internet, to say the least.
