Michael Imperioli Is 'Jealous' He's Not Involved with “White Lotus” Season 3 but Can't Wait to See This Actor in It (Exclusive)

Imperioli's latest project is narrating and executive producing 'American Godfathers: The Five Families' documentary for The History Channel

Michael Imperioli won't be checking in to The White Lotus season 3, but he will definitely tune in.

While promoting American Godfathers: The Five Families, which he narrated and executive produced, Imperioli, 58, tells PEOPLE about the upcoming season of the dark comedy HBO series and whether or not he'll tune in.

"Absolutely gonna tune in," the Sopranos star says of season 3, which is slated to premiere in 2025. "I was very jealous that I wasn't in it, of course, because it was just such a magical time doing that show and so much fun and so rich."

Imperioli starred in the second season of The White Lotus as Dominic Di Grasso, a Hollywood producer traveling to Italy with his son and father. He was nominated at the 2023 Emmys for Outstanding Supporting Actor for his performance.

Imperioli also praises the show's creator, Mike White.

"Mike White is just a darling of a human being and a genius of a talent, you know, and it was that was like idyllic, that whole experience," he says. "So I hope this cast, I'm sure they did experience the same thing."

The White Lotus season 3 cast is currently expected to feature Natasha Rothwell, Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan and Parker Posey — the latter of whom Imperioli is particularly excited to watch.

"You know, one of my favorite performers is Parker Posey in the new season, who I just think is awesome," he says. "It makes sense to have her in The White Lotus. I can see that."

While fans are waiting for more White Lotus, they can catch Imperioli narrating American Godfathers: The Five Families. The docuseries, based on the book The Five Families by Selwyn Raab, is an in-depth dive into the history of the mafia, tracing back to the Sicilian roots in the 19th century through today.

Imperioli says that the early days of the mob "always fascinated" him.

"It was the Italians here [that] were still very close to the immigrant experience and seeing how that evolved out of that experience was always very interesting," he explains. "The transition between coming here, you know, newly arrived people and getting a foothold in a lot of different areas of business and stuff like that."

The Emmy-winning actor also mentions that the documentary emphasizes how prohibition and bootlegging were the first major ways the mob was able to make money in America. "Prohibition gave them the landscape to create the empires that they did," he says.
