Parker Posey is just as curious about The White Lotus finale as the rest of us!

Ahead of the season 3 finale of the hit HBO series, which airs on April 6, fans aren’t the only ones ready for answers. Posey, who plays Victoria Ratliff, revealed during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that although she might have known the ending at one point, she can’t remember anymore.

“I forgot who died,” she admitted. “It was so stressful when I read it. The dark stuff, I blazed through.”

Patrick Schwarzenegger plays Posey’s onscreen son, Saxon, and he noted that he is also waiting to see how things end.

“I’m just excited to watch the finale with the rest of the world because I actually have no idea what happens,” he told the outlet.

“Whatever you think you know, you’re going to get it wrong,” teased Jon Gries, who made a surprise return to the show after (possibly) being the one to kill Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya at the end of season 2.

Creator Mike White added that the hour-and-a-half episode is “kind of epic,” and he is excited for people to watch.

“As a filmmaker, it’s probably the piece of work that I’m like, ‘I can’t believe I did that,’” he shared.

“People are going to hate Mike White,” Charlotte Le Bon, who plays Chloe, joked.

“My hope is that it’ll feel like a cathartic sad or a satisfying sad and not a ‘What the f—?’ sad,” White added. “But people are going to have a million different opinions. You just hope you stick the landing.”

Each season of The White Lotus concludes with a death, and executive producer David Bernad recently told PEOPLE they take precautions to ensure the secret is kept under wraps.

“We have fake endings to the scripts,” he explained. “So we wrote up — we have six different endings — and we kind of distributed fake endings to people just in case someone leaked anything, and then we could say there’s different fake endings.”

“And then when we shot the ending scene, it’s a locked down set,” he continued. “So no one really has access to what we were shooting and there would be no non-White Lotus participants ever seeing what we’re doing.”

Someone else close to the cast is also anxiously awaiting the finale: Schwarzenegger’s mom, Maria Shriver. On April 3, she took to Instagram to address her most-asked question lately.

“I may be on a book tour promoting my new book, I AM MARIA, but everywhere I go everyone keeps asking me about @patrickschwarzenegger, about @thewhitelotus, about what’s going to happen to Saxon, if he’s going to die,” she wrote beside an edited version of her book cover, which read “I Am Patrick’s Mother” instead of “I Am Maria.”

“I may be Patrick’s mother, but I know NOTHING! No one believes me, but it’s true. Tell me what you think is going to happen in this Sunday’s finale, then head up to my link in bio and order my real book — I AM MARIA! #iammaria” she added.
