Missing Aimee Lou Wood? The 'White Lotus' Star Has A Netflix Show You Can Watch Right Now
Apr 09, 2025
The season 3 finale of The White Lotus dropped on Sunday, and fans around the globe are still grappling with how creator Mike White chose to wrap up the latest iteration of the dark comedy.
Spoiler alert: Timothy Ratliff did not end up murdering his family (although he planned to, chickened out and almost accidentally killed Lochlan, the one child he'd planned to save); Belinda accepted Greg/Gary's bribe after getting it up to $5 million and pulled a total Tanya on Pornchai, who wanted to start a spa with her; and the three girlfriends, Laurie, Kate, and Jaclyn, all worked things out in the end. Oh, and Chelsea dies because of Rick – the one thing everyone didn't want to happen.
Chelsea, played by actress Aimee Lou Wood, quickly became one of this season's most lovable characters. However, due to her tragic death during the finale, it's pretty obvious that she won't be returning to The White Lotus for Season 4. So if you're already missing Aimee's iconic acting, we've got good news for you — there's another show you can binge right now to get your Aimee fix: Sex Education.
Prior to becoming a larger household name on The White Lotus, she actually played the character Aimee Gibbs in Sex Education, a Netflix series that came out in 2019 and ran for four whole seasons!
Aimee's portrayal as a popular high school girl who undergoes a lot of character growth throughout the show's four seasons even earned her a British Academy Television Award for Best Female Comedy Performance. So, if you want to see more of Aimee in a completely different role than Chelsea on The White Lotus, buckle up and grab your popcorn. Here's what to know!Everything to know about Aimee Lou Wood's Netflix series, Sex Education!
What is 'Sex Education' about?
Netflix
Sex Education is now an acclaimed cult classic that's beloved for its humor and reliability.

So, despite being an awkward high schooler, he's privy to plenty of adult information and becomes a go-to resource for his classmates. With help from a peer named Maeve, he ultimately uses his expertise to set up an underground clinic, where he counsels his classmates on all kinds of personal situations and raises his status at school along the way.
Who's in the 'Sex Education' cast?
Netflix
While Aimee Lou Wood (Aimee Gibbs) is obviously a star in Sex Education, the rest of the cast is actually quite incredible — including two Barbiefaves! Other cast members include:
- Asa Butterfield as Otis Milburn
- Emma Mackey as Maeve Wiley (Hi, Barbie!)
- Ncuti Gatwa as Eric Effiong (Hi, Ken!)
- Tanya Reynolds as Lily Iglehart
- Connor Swindells as Adam Groff

I love hosting and making my guests feel at home. And living in a tourist destination (Sonoma wine country) means I get a lot of them — especially as the weather warms up. Over time, I’ve learned that creating a warm, welcoming space doesn’t have to mean stress or all-day prep. Guests only seem to notice a few key things, not whether you color-coded your bookshelf or spring cleaned your closets. Whether it’s a casual dinner party or an overnight stay, these simple steps make a big difference before guests arrive.
Here are six things you should always do before guests arrive.
Do a Quick Clutter Sweep
You don’t need to deep-clean — just focus on visible clutter. Clear off countertops, coffee tables, and entryways. Short on time? Just toss items into a basket and tuck them away in a closet.
Light a Candle Or Diffuse A Favorite Scent
Set the mood with a seasonal or favorite scent, like vanilla, amber, or something citrusy. It instantly makes your space feel warm and inviting. I like to put one in the guest bathroom too for a little surprise.
Have a little time? You can also simmer citrus and your favorite herbs on the stove.
You’ll Need:
- Citrus slices like oranges, lemons, or limes
- A few sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
- 1–2 cinnamon sticks or whole cloves
- A splash of vanilla extract
Steps:
- Slice your citrus thinly. Try a mix of orange and lemon for a bright, balanced scent.
- Fill a pot with water, about ¾ full.
- Add your ingredients to the water.
- Bring to a simmer over low heat. As the mixture warms, the scent will start to fill your space. (Keep an eye on the water level, and add more as it evaporates.)
Prep the Bathroom
Nothing makes guests feel more "ick" than a dirty or messy bathroom so prioritize this space. Wipe down the sink and toilet, put out a fresh hand towel, and make sure there’s enough toilet paper.
Set the Mood with Music or Lighting
I make sure to switch off all the overheads (not a fan of this harsh lighting) and turn on table lamps for a cozy vibe. Then cue up a Spotify "dinner party" playlist that matches the energy — something mellow and upbeat is usually a safe bet.

Add Thoughtful Touches
A long-distance friend of mine would always leave me a basket of toiletries for my overnight stays and it's something I always remember fondly. On their bedside table, you can leave them a pitcher of water, their favorite snacks, flowers or herbs, and/or a book or magazine. Little details make people feel instantly loved.

Take the Garbage Out
Nothing ruins the party vibe like a smelly garbage can. Empty it before anyone arrives, and consider adding a fresh liner with a drop of essential oil or baking soda to keep things smelling fresh and clean.

Don't worry, if you're still crying over the Severance season 2 ending, I have good news for you. Severance season 3 is coming to Apple TV+! The show was renewed for a junior season after the season 2 finale and the news couldn't come at a better time. I need to see the Severance cast and characters happy!!! Keep reading for everything we know about the upcoming episodes.
Here's the latest news on Severance season 3, coming to Apple TV+ soon.
What are some popular Severance season 3 theories?
Apple TV+
During a panel at Bell Works in New Jersey (where the show is filmed), Britt Lower revealed a theory the whole Severance cast is "getting a kick out of [is] Ricken being a goat," she tells People. "I think that's everyone's collective theory. You never know."
Michael Chernus (who plays Ricken in the show) says that "people have all kinds of theories about Ricken that he's a goat or that he's an Eagan or he's part of the board. I think, you know, we don't see a ton of Ricken in season 2, so I think the fact that he isn't around much makes him seem very suspicious to some people."
Fans love getting caught up in the theories, but for the team behind-the-scenes, it's a little tricky to navigate. "You have to like take all that with a grain of salt and sort of appreciate that everybody has different ideas, but we have to have our own sort of clear idea of what we're doing that is independent of that," executive producer Ben Stiller says.
However, that doesn’t mean he turns a blind eye to online chatter, saying, “I'll read a theory and I'll be like, 'Oh I wish we were making that show because that sounds cool.' But generally, I have to sort of turn the other way," creator Dan Erickson agrees.
Is there a season 3 of Severance coming?
Apple TV+
Yes, Apple TV renewed Severance for a season 3 on March 21, 2025.
“Making Severance has been one of the most creatively exciting experiences I’ve ever been a part of,” executive producer and director Ben Stiller says in a statement. He jokes that, “While I have no memory of this, I’m told making season three will be equally enjoyable, though any recollection of these future events will be forever and irrevocably wiped from my memory as well.”
“I couldn’t be more excited to get back to work with Ben, Dan, the incredible cast and crew, Apple and the whole Severance team,” executive Adam Scott (who also plays Mark) adds. “Oh hey also — not a huge deal — but if you see my innie, please don’t mention any of this to him. Thanks.”
When is Severance season 3 coming out?
Atsushi Nishijima/Apple TV+
We don't have an official Severance season 3 release date yet, but we do know it won't take another three years for new episodes to come out. (We all remember the three-year wait between seasons 1 and 2).
During an appearance on New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Ben Stiller promises that "the plan is not, definitely not" to release Severance season 3 in 2028.
Who's in the Severance season 3 cast?
Apple TV+
Based on the end of season 2, we can include the Severance season 3 cast to include all our favorite stars:
- Adam Scott as Mark Scout: a Lumon employee leading his team in Macrodata Refinement (MDR). In the real world he's mourning his late wife Gemma.
- Britt Lower as Helena Eagan/Helly R.: one of Mark's coworkers with a shocking outie identity: she's the daughter of Lumon's CEO.
- Dichen Laman as Gemma/Ms. Casey: Mark's wife in the real world and the wellness counselor on Lumon's severed floor.
- Zach Cherry as Dylan George: another of Mark's coworkers who's the first one to be awakened outside the office.
- John Turturro as Irving Bailiff: a Lumon employee who works with Mark.
- Christopher Walken as Burt Goodman: a severed Lumon employee who's the head of Optics and Design (O&D).
- Tramell Tillman as Seth Milchick: Lumon's Manager on the severed floor.
- Patricia Arquette as Harmony Cobel: Lumon's manager during season 1 who lives as outie Mark's neighbor Mrs. Selvig.
- Jen Tullock as Devon Scout-Hale: Mark's sister, who's pregnant in season 1.
- Michael Chernus as Ricken Hale: Devon's husband and a self-help author.
- Sarah Bock as Eustice Huang: the severed floor's new Deputy Manager in season 2.
What happens at the end of Severance season 2?
Apple TV+
The Severance season 2 ending is truly devastating. In the final moments of the episode, outie Mark and Gemma finally reunite in the moment we've been waiting literal years for. They decide to make their escape, but when they slip back into their innie selves, Mark S. decides he doesn't want to sacrifice himself for his outie. He stays with Helly at Lumon while Gemma (who had managed to escape, reverting to her outie self) looks on, screaming his name and beating on the door.
Where does Severance film?
Apple TV+
Severance has been filmed in locations like New Jersey's Bell Labs, as well as various locations around New York, including York Studios, Kingston, Nyack, Marine Park Golf Course, Ulster County, and Beacon.

Godless — Stream on Netflix
Godless is the perfect show for 1923 fans because it reorients the cowboy narrative we're all familiar with.

Godless is on Netflix and stars Jack O'Connell, Michelle Dockery, Scoot McNairy, Merritt Wever, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster.
Will there be another series after 1923?
Paramount
There are a few more Yellowstone spinoffs on their way! In addition to the new show The Madison with Michelle Pfeiffer, it looks like we're also getting a spinoff about Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler.
What order to watch Yellowstone 1883 and 1923?
Emerson Miller/Paramount+
If you're new to the Yellowstone universe, you can watch the shows in chronological order or in release order, depending on how you want to experience the story. If you want to watch chronologically (my personal favorite), watch the shows in the following order:
- 1883
- 1923
- Yellowstone
But if you want to watch in release order, watch this way:
- Yellowstone
- 1883
- 1923
