The guests for Season Three of “The White Lotus” are starting to arrive.
The next season of the fan-favorite series will be set in Thailand, and HBO has announced the cast that will appear in the highly anticipated third installment of the comedy series.
In keeping with the show’s tradition, Season 3 features a new cast in a new location, following the first season in Hawaii and the second season in Sicily, Italy.
While there’s no premiere date for the third season yet, here’s what you want to know about the 18 actors who will appear in the next installment of “The White Lotus. “
Fans of “The White Lotus” got their first glimpse of the Season 3 cast last year when Natasha Rothwell was shown to appear in April 2023.
HBO announced the first list of newcomers on Jan. 5 — Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, and Tayme Thapthimthong — and showed that the third season would be filmed in Thailand.
Miloš Biković, Carrie Coon, Christian Friedel, Morgana O’Reilly, Lek Patravadi, and Shalini Peiris will also join the cast, HBO later revealed.
The company continued this month’s casting announcements with five more castings on Jan. 17: Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Aimee Lou Wood.
Schwarzenegger’s mother, TODAY contributor Maria Shriver, said in an Instagram post that she was very proud that her son was at one of his “all-time favorite exhibits. “
“I can’t wait to visit you on set (am I allowed to visit you on set?) and can’t wait to get all the spoilers from you (you will tell me, right? I am your mother after all!) Wow, wow, wow! See you at the White Lotus!” she continued.
On January 22, Deadline reported that Francesca Corney, Nicholas Duvernay, and Arnas Fedaravičius had signed for the new season.
The first actor to star in the third season of “The White Lotus” is a familiar face, subtly following the show’s trend of bringing back a character from a past season.
In April 2023, TODAY. com showed that Natasha Rothwell, who played the role of spa director Belinda in the first season, would return. Belinda has become a fan favorite for her puzzling encounters with Jennifer Coolidge’s character, Tanya, in the first season.
Coolidge and Jon Gries were the only cast members to appear in the first and second seasons, it is highly unlikely that Coolidge’s character will make another appearance due to his fate in the second season finale. (Coolidge declared her character “definitely dead” in her Jan. 15 speech for winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. )
Coolidge said on Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series in June 2023 that he hoped series author Mike White would continue the adventure of Gries’ character, Greg, on the show.
“My hope for (co-star) Jon (Gries) is that he’s not done with Greg,” Coolidge said. “I hope there’s a eulogy for the villain Greg. I think it should, I don’t know, end. “in a meat grinder. “
Gries hasn’t been shown to appear in season three, leaving fans to keep an eye out for some other appearances via Greg and, as White told Entertainment Weekly last year, likely other characters.
“It would be easy to settle for a full anthology, but I think it’s more fun to have little threads from the series,” he said. “If the exhibit goes on for a few seasons, it would be fun to have a star-studded season. “
HBO has not shown any main points about the characters, nor the plot of the third season of “The White Lotus”, however, the network has shown that the next season will be set in Thailand.
“The series will begin production on Koh Samui, Phuket and Bangkok in February and will abide by a new organization of visitors to the White Lotus property,” HBO said in a Jan. 5 press release.
HBO has partnered with the Tourism Authority of Thailand to “support the filming and promotion of the third installment,” the network said.
The announcement of the location for the next installment of the series comes after White announced an update for the third season.
“The first season is about money, and then the second season is about sex,” White said in an interview with HBO that aired after the second season finale in 2022. “I think Season 3 would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death, the Eastern world. faith and spirituality. I feel like it could just be a rich tapestry to put another spin on White Lotus.
White also directly named Asia as a conceivable competitor in an interview with Deadline in 2022.
“We just aired our last episode on the channel, so it’s hard to think about the next race,” White said. “But if we did, I think it would be fun to move to a completely different continent. We made Europe. Maybe Asia. . . It would be a laugh. “
HBO has not released a date for the start of the third season, but Casey Bloys, president and CEO of HBO and Max, told reporters at a Nov. 2 press conference that changes in writers and actors have impacted the company’s production schedules. .
“The third season of ‘White Lotus’ would have been up for grabs by 2024, we’re in 2025,” Bloys said, according to Variety.
While season 3 may be only a year away, seasons one and two need to air on Max.
