As a dedicated fan of The White Lotus, I can’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for Tanya, whose tragic demise has left us all in shock. But fear not, dear viewers! It seems that the wheels of justice might still be turning for Greg and his shady associates. If history has taught us anything, it’s that no one can escape the long arm of the law forever, especially when they’re partying on a boat.
Start humming that iconic theme song because The White Lotus is coming back!
Indeed, friends! The highly awaited third season of the popular HBO series is coming back, and here’s a glimpse with the debut of its very first trailer.
In the recently unveiled teaser trailer for Max’s upcoming series, footage from season 3 is presented, showcasing Natasha Rothwell’s recurring character, Belinda, stepping into a fresh White Lotus resort located in Thailand. Upon arrival, she takes off her sunglasses.
Afterward, the teaser reveals a swift boat vanishing on the horizon, along with fresh faces checking into the resort. I’m thrilled to see Jason Isaacs from Harry Potter, Parker Posey of Scream 3, and Patrick Schwarzenegger from Generation V joining the cast.
In the following scene, vacationers can be spotted lounging around the pool. At one point, a woman remarks jokingly, “Anything that transpires in Thailand is kept within Thailand.”
If you’re suitably intrigued, read on for everything we know so far about The White Lotus season 3.
The White Lotus season 3 release date speculation
It’s currently undisclosed when The White Lotus season 3 will be out, but many anticipate its comeback sometime between late 2024 and early 2025.
According to HBO’s executive Casey Bloys, the highly anticipated comeback of the show might shift to 2025 due to last year’s Hollywood strikes. However, since production is currently progressing swiftly, there’s a possibility we could witness it earlier.
2024 saw the commencement of filming in February, as evidenced by a photo posted on official social media accounts, showing a White Lotus-labeled slate poised to capture scenes amidst the vibrant landscape of Thailand.
“Memorable moments are being created at The White Lotus resort in Thailand. We can’t wait to greet new visitors!”

In November 2022, the series was granted another round (season) following the broadcast of only three episodes from season 2, demonstrating the immense popularity it generated from the start.
Initially, creator Mike White expressed his gratitude for another chance, stating, “I’m thrilled to have this opportunity once more and can’t wait to work alongside my extraordinarily gifted colleagues on The White Lotus.”
Francesca Orsi, an executive at HBO, commented: “Looking back on The White Lotus’s modest beginnings as a pandemic-driven production with limited resources, it’s hard not to be amazed by how skillfully Mike brought about one of the most talked-about and critically praised shows.”
The White Lotus season 3 cast: Full list of confirmed stars
At last, we have unveiled the lineup for The White Lotus season 3. Mostly fresh talents are part of it along with one significant comeback – meet the entire team below:
- Natasha Rothwell as Belinda
- Jason Isaacs
- Leslie Bibb
- Michelle Monaghan
- Parker Posey
- Dom Hetrakul
- Tayme Thapthimthong
- Carrie Coon
- Aimee Lou Wood
- Patrick Schwarzenegger
- Sam Nivola
- Sarah Catherine Hook
- Christian Friedel
- Morgana O’Reilly
- Lek Patravadi
- Shalini Peiris
- Walton Goggins
- Lalisa Manobal (aka Lisa)
In its new installment, there will be few returning characters from last season – just Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya and Jon Gries’s Greg who will make a comeback. This trend seems to continue in the current run.
In the officially released cast list, Natasha Rothwell stands as the only well-established character. She initially portrayed Belinda, a spa worker with aspirations of being an entrepreneur, during the show’s first season.
As a captivated moviegoer and critic, I eagerly anticipate the possibility of seeing more of the radiant Connie Britton gracing the screens of The White Lotus once again. In an exclusive interview with Deadline, she shared her near-involvement in season 2, expressing her unbridled enthusiasm for another stay at this enigmatic resort.
Britton shared that he had a favorite concept for the character, which they plan to introduce in the upcoming third season. Unfortunately, a casting choice didn’t pan out during the second season, but they are optimistic about incorporating it then.
Alas, it appears that might not be happening, unless White and co are simply keeping it top secret.
Among all characters, it’s Greg, portrayed by Jon Gries, that viewers are most excited to see more of. His intricate plan to claim the McQuoid fortune seemed successful (even though there were a few bumps in the road).
Will the storyline be revisited, with justice for the late Tanya?
As a movie buff, I’m inclined to believe that Portia might be so fearful about the intricacies surrounding Greg and the mystery of Tanya’s death that she chooses to let it rest undisturbed.
However, since everyone on the boat perishes, it seems likely that someone will eventually trace this incident back to Greg. You may need to be patient to discover how this unfolds.
That certainly sounds like it isn’t off the table…
Where is The White Lotus season 3 set?
As a passionate cinephile, I’ve eagerly awaited the official confirmation that The White Lotus’ third season will unfold against the stunning backdrop of Thailand. This new location promises to offer us a captivating glimpse into yet another one of the chain’s opulent resorts, following our previous visits to Hawaii and Italy. Can’t wait to see what intriguing stories await us in this exotic setting!
After the season 2 finale aired, creator Mike White teased that season 3 could take place in Asia.
He shared his thoughts: “The first season primarily focused on money, followed by a season centered around sexual themes. I believe the third season could offer a humorous, satirical perspective on death and the exploration of Eastern religions and spirituality.”
“It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.”
What is The White Lotus season 3 about?
Apart from the suggested “spirituality” motif and the unexpected reappearance of Natasha Rothwell’s character Belinda, the specific storyline for the third season of The White Lotus remains a mystery at this point.
When further information emerges about the array of new characters, we may have enough clues to start fitting together puzzle pieces. Ideally, this will allow space for the ongoing storyline as well as fresh, intriguing concepts.
To put it simply, the series will undoubtedly maintain its captivating element – the gradual unraveling of a puzzling murder mystery – throughout the season, as evidenced by White’s statement to NPR about its success in attracting audience interest.
When the initial season turned into a popular topic that everyone was discussing, he mused, “If I had realized and included a dead body in the opening scene of ‘Enlightened’, perhaps more people would have watched it.”
The comment references an acclaimed but abruptly cancelled show he previously made for HBO, which starred Laura Dern.
White commented: “It’s evident that such intriguing cliffhangers draw viewers. They definitely spark curiosity for the series. Viewers will make their own judgments later on whether it’s fulfilling or simply feels like a plot device, but as of now, I’m looking forward to the finale.”
“As somebody who’s been working in the margins, it is kind of nice to have viewers.”
