HBO's black comedy series The White Lotus Season 3 kicked off in February 2025, with a new ensemble cast and location.
The show follows the titular luxury resort chains in different locations and the madness-filled week of the elite guests staying in it. Season 3's cast includes Leslie Bibb, Jason Isaacs, Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and many more.
Since Wood's appearance in the show's new season, fans have been speculating whether she also had a role in HBO's Game of Thrones. The simple answer is no. Wood never appeared in GOT, but she resembles another actress from the show, hence the confusion.
More on Aimee Lou Wood in our story.
The White Lotus Season 3 star Aimee Lou Wood was not in Game of Thrones
If you are also in the majority of fans who mistook The White Lotus Season 3 star Aimee Lou Wood in Game of Thrones, you are not alone. Since the actress' breakout role in Sex Education, fans have mistaken her for a particular character in Game of Thrones, that of Gilly.
Gilly is a character in GOT, portrayed by English actress Hannah Murray. Fans are mistaking Murray for Wood because of their little resemblance in face structure, complexion, and teeth.
Gilly, a Free Folk, was the daughter and wife of Craster, who used to marry his daughters during the War of the Five Kings.
She also had a son from this incestuous union, Sam, who was both her son and half-brother.
Murray is also known for her roles in Skins, God Help The Girl, The Chosen, and The Expecting.
Exploring The White Lotus Season 3 star Aimee Lou Wood's career
The HBO dark comedy series is known for its new locations and an ensemble cast for each season. Set in Thailand, The White Lotus Season 3 added actress Aimee Lou Wood as Chelsea, Walton Goggins' Rick's young girlfriend.
Chelsea appears to be a fun-loving character, in stark contrast with her boyfriend, Rick, who is much older than her. While Rick is vacationing in Thailand with an ulterior motive to confront his father's killer, Chelsea is actually here to have a good time.
She has already experienced two near-death experiences in Season 3, and fans are speculating whether she will wind up dead this season, as set up in the opening scene. But that is something the upcoming episodes will reveal.
Wood is best known for her role in Netflix's British teen comedy series Sex Education, where she played Aimee Gibbs. In the show, her character underwent a drastic change.
She started as one of the mean girls of Moordale High but eventually became one of Maeve's closest friends. Her 'bus sequence' from the show gained huge popularity and became one of the most memorable scenes from the show.
Recently, she also starred in Netflix's Toxic Town, where she played Tracey. The drama series is based on the real-life incident of the Corby poisoning in 1994.
Wood is also known for Alice & Jack and Daddy Issues. She has also appeared in movies like Seize Them! and The Electrical Life of Louis Wain.
The White Lotus Season 3 is available to stream on Max.
