“The White Lotus” creator Mike White will return to compete in the “Survivor” series for its 50th edition after saying he would never be allowed to come back on the show.
The Emmy-winner appeared on the 37th season of the show, “David vs. Goliath,” in 2018 and finished in second place, The Hollywood Reporter noted. He was determined to return to compete among the 24 returning players, persistently texting executive producer Jeff Probst despite being told that he was “never going to go on the show again.”
“Mike, after he finished playing, said, ‘I want to play again,'” Probst told CBS Mornings on Wednesday. “When ‘White Lotus’ hit, and I thought, ‘Well, he’ll never play again.’ But he kept texting and saying, ‘Look, I’m serious. If you ever do anything where you have returning players, I want to play again.’ So we’re happy to have Mike.”
