Aubrey Plaza says she has yet to watch her season of The White Lotus, due to password issues with her HBO Max account.
‘I still haven’t, but I’m going to,’ said the 40-year-old actress, who played Harper Spiller on season two of the series, which aired in late 2022.
Plaza, speaking to the The Wall Street Journal Tuesday, said she encountered a bit of confusion in regards to her streaming account.
‘To be honest, I had trouble opening my HBO Max account when I was trying to watch it originally,’ Plaza said. ‘I couldn’t figure out the password and I usually just give up when I can’t figure out the passwords. I just can’t handle things like that.’
Plaza, who plays the role of Wow Platinum in the forthcoming Francis Ford Coppola film Megalopolis, said she’d ‘love a DVD’ of the series.

‘They don’t send DVD sets anymore,’ the Wilmington, Delaware-born star said. ‘I ask them every time.’
Plaza, who received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her performance on creator Mike White’s popular show, said that she related to her character Harper, a lawyer who is wed to business mogul Ethan Spiller (William Sharpe).
‘I mean in a lot of ways – not in every way,’ Plaza said. ‘She was a lawyer like my mom, and there were some connections there.’
Plaza, who was on Parks and Recreation from 2009 to 2015, said that in filming the season of the series, she dined as if she was really on vacation in Italy, as production took place in Taormina, Sicily.
Plaza said she consumed ‘so much linguine and clams’ during production, joking White ‘demanded’ the actors ate large amounts of pasta as ‘some kind of psychological conditioning.’
The cast for the critically-acclaimed season two of the opulent show included Jennifer Coolidge, F. Murray Abraham, Michael Imperioli, Haley Lu Richardson, Adam DiMarco and Meghann Fahy, among others.
Plaza told Vanity Fair last year that she has past been frustrated sorting out technology.

‘I was trying to watch Top Chef Season 20,’ she said. ‘Couldn’t figure out how to f***ing get Hulu + Live. I give up! I can’t. I just can’t. And so what I like to do is go on iTunes and buy movies that are old.
‘Or I’ll go on iTunes and just, like, buy the whole Sopranos series, and then my husband will be like, “You literally can watch that for free on HBO Max.”‘
Season three of the series, set to debut next year, is based at a resort in Thailand.
The cast includes Natasha Rothwell (who appeared in season one), Walton Goggins, Scott Glenn, Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Parker Posey, Leslie Bibb, Blackpink’s Lisa (Lalisa Manobal), Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs and Tayme Thapthimthong.
Other members of the ensemble cast include Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola, Aimee Lou Wood, Nicholas Duvernay, Francesca Corney, Arnas Fedaravicius, Christian Friedel, Morgana O’Reilly, Lek Patravadi and Shalini Peiris.
