When we return to The White Lotus, what surprises are in store for us? We can't wait for Mike White's twisted comedy-drama/softcore-thriller to return to HBO and Max in 2025. In the extravagant finale of the second season, Tanya McQuoid, played by Jennifer Coolidge, died after her deceitful husband Greg (Jon Gries), whom she had met in season 1, recruited a gang to kill his wife.
With at least one beloved character returning to the resort of the same name, season three of The White Lotus is expected to have more campy twists and ironic disaster. The series, which has already garnered 43 Emmy nominations and 15 wins, as well as five Golden Globe nominations and two wins, may see more award hype in the future.
Here is all you need to know about The White Lotus season 3, which is set to launch in 2025.
Where is season three of The White Lotus set?
Thailand will host the third season of The White Lotus. Season 1 and Season 2 of the anthology series were set in Maui and Sicily, respectively, at sites of the resort chain of the same name.
An unidentified individual stated, "What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand," in an HBO teaser video released earlier this year.
Season 3 was produced in and around Bangkok, Phuket, and Koh Samui. "As the next group of guests check in to the White Lotus, we are thrilled to collaborate with the Tourism Authority of Thailand to realize Mike's creative vision and highlight everything that the stunning nation of Thailand has to offer," said Janet Graham Borba, EVP of Production, in a news statement.
A gorgeous photo from the set with the tagline, "Unforgettable experiences are in the making at #TheWhiteLotus," was posted by the official White Lotus Instagram page in February 2024, marking the start of filming. We can't wait to have new visitors to our Thai resort."
What is the third season of The White Lotus about?
Although a detailed narrative synopsis has not yet been made public, White told Entertainment Weekly that viewers can anticipate "a supersized White Lotus."
White vowed, "It will be bigger, longer, and crazier." "At least for my personal barometer, that's a positive thing because I am really enthusiastic, regardless of what other people may think. I can't wait to see what the season has in store.
White stated that the upcoming season will examine "Eastern versus Western religion, or Western people in an Eastern culture" in a different interview with Vanity Fair. It may have "something to do with spirituality," he continued, implying that "it would be nice to have something that's a little more celestial or something that's a little more out of the carnal after [all of season two's] sex."
For season three, who joined the cast of The White Lotus?
Leslie Bibb (Iron Man), Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter), Parker Posey (The Staircase), Michelle Monaghan (Bad Monkey), Dom Hetrakul (Bangkok Dangerous), and Tayme Thapthimthong (Skin Trade) were all cast in season three of The White Lotus, according to an HBO announcement in January 2024.
The forthcoming season will also have appearances by Christian Friedel (The Zone of Interest), Walton Goggins (Justified), Nicholas Duvernay (Purple Hearts), Patrick Schwarzenegger, Carrie Coon (The Gilded Age), and Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education). The White Lotus is the acting debut of Lalisa Manobal, best known as Lalisa from the K-pop group Blackpink.
Deadline revealed in March 2024 that Charlotte Le Bon will play Francesca Corney's role in the next season. In addition, Julian Kostov was chosen to succeed Miloš Biković because of the latter's backing of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the continuing conflict in Ukraine. "Is it all right for you to work with a person who supports genocide and violates international law?" After Biković was cast, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs tweeted at HBO.
Deadline stated that the third season "follows a new group of guests at another White Lotus property including a multigenerational gang with a patriarch, a female corporate executive, an actress, a couple of mothers, a country club wife, a misfit, and a yogi." However, it is unclear what roles the new actors will play.
Will any additional members of the first two seasons' cast be coming back?
It was revealed in April 2023 that Belinda, played by Natasha Rothwell and last seen in the first season, will make a third appearance. The character, a devoted employee of the White Lotus, approached Tanya as a possible investor since she aspired to start her own company.
Before Tanya withdrew her money, everything appeared to be going well, presumably condemning Belinda to a life of slavery at the resort—or did she?
"Belinda is back baby!!!" Rothwell shared the news on Twitter.
Rothwell is the only confirmed cast member from earlier seasons, and her storyline for season three is unknown.
Tanya, what about her?
Regretfully, Tanya is unlikely to make a comeback for season 3.
After learning of her husband Greg's scheme, Tanya shot Quentin (Tom Hollander) and the other men he had hired to kill her, ultimately leading to her death in the season 2 finale. In a terrible turn of events, Tanya drowned while attempting to flee after escaping Greg's thugs.
White warned Coolidge early on in season 2's conceptualization that she wouldn't advance to the third round, Coolidge told EW. Regarding her character's destiny, Coolidge clarified, "There were actually more than two people who thought it was like some sort of dream." Despite the fact that I was in a body bag, they believed it to be a dream. They assumed it was all in Tanya's imagination or something. They failed to understand that I was permanently dead. Dead in every way.
