HBO is recasting a 'White Lotus' role after Ukraine accused the actor of supporting Russia


HBO announced it would be recasting a "White Lotus" role held by Miloš Biković after the Ukranian government accused the Serbian actor of supporting "genocide."

HBO announced Friday that it would be parting ways with a Serbian actor it hired to star in season three of its Emmy-nominated show"White Lotus." "Miloš Biković, Serbian actor who has been supporting Russia since the start of the full-scale invasion, is now set to star in HBO's The White Lotus Season 3," the foreign ministry wrote on X on January 24. "Today, a targeted campaign has been unleashed against me, seemingly as an external maneuver to influence decisions that can create a disturbing precedent shadowing the essence of artistic freedom," Biković said.
