Who else suffers from jet lag? After a second season full of twists and turns of The White Lotus (and shocking answers to the question of who dies), another edition of Mike White’s anthology series is on the way. Just 3 episodes into the final season, HBO proved that The White Lotus “will return for a third installment following a new guest organization at another White Lotus property. “Vanity Fair has already made its proposals for the sets for the third season, but what do we know about the next episode?What will the credits look like? And will visitors venture out of the hotel for lunch?
Coming soon, a look at everything happening in-universe on season three of The White Lotus, adding a major update on upcoming flights.
Walton Goggins, the Emmy-nominated star of shows like Justified and The Righteous Gemstones, is the latest to sign up for the third season of The White Lotus. Its cast was announced along with the addition of four other stars: Patrick Schwarzenegger (The Staircase), Sam Nivola (Teacher), Sarah Catherine Hook (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It) and Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education).
The previously announced cast includes Carrie Coon, best known for her roles in HBO’s The Gilded Age and The Leftovers, who will return to the network for season 3 of The White Lotus, the actor revealed via X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday. HBO showed in early January that Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Tayme Thapthimthong, and Parker Posey would be heading to the White Lotus for season three. They sign up for the original cast member announced in the past, Natasha Rothwell, who earned an Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Belinda, the relaxing, outcast spa director at the resort’s outpost in Hawaii.
Rothwell’s return for the wellness-centered third season suggests that Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya may have made good on her promise to fund Belinda’s dream spa by leaving her money in the will. But—for now—the actor is keeping mum on her character’s storyline. At the Wonka premiere, Rothwell told Vanity Fair that the show made her “gasp out loud a minimum of five times, and this was just me reading the scripts.”
According to Deadline, casting for the new season began on November 9, the same day a deal was reached between SAG-AFTRA and the studios. The outlet reports that 13 roles are expected to be filled, nine of which are series regulars. ages 18 to 80, starring a patriarch, a business executive, an actress, a couple of mothers, a misfit and a yogi.
One user who possibly wouldn’t be involved, despite the online rumors, is White’s friend and School of Rock contributor Jack Black, who denied his casting for Vanity Fair: “I’ll deny it because it’s simple to tell the truth. “”I have to pour ice water on this candy, candy theory. “
The show’s second season introduced the audience to a host of new killer characters, played by Aubrey Plaza, Theo James, Meghann Fahy, Michael Imperioli, Will Sharpe, Beatrice Grannò, Haley Lu Richardson, Adam DiMarco, and many more male-related. . . But Coolidge, who returned from the Emmy-winning first season, had another standout performance: however, the question of whether she could reprise the role of Tanya was resolved in the Season 2 finale.
However, a familiar face who might be packing her bags for season three is Connie Britton, who played the mighty Nicole in season one, and said she originally intended to return for season two. “Our goal is to do it in the third season. A cast detail didn’t work out in season two and we hope to do so in season three. I would love to see a spin-off of each and every character in this series. And wouldn’t you know? His character fits perfectly into the category of “business leaders”. . .
White hinted that the exhibit would head east for season three, telling Vanity Fair, “We’re going to explore Asia and take a look at the countries there. “Now, Variety reports that after scouting locations, he moved to Thailand.
If you decide to film in other Four Seasons (seasons one and two were filmed at resorts owned by the luxury hotel chain), you’ll have homes to choose from. Chiang Mai’s website describes it as “a paradise of wellness. “”Being in the north of Thailand,” “nestled among emerald rice paddies,” while the Four Seasons’ Golden Triangle is “the adventure of a lifetime,” where visitors stay in luxury tents. An HBO spokeswoman declined to comment.
In the interview after the finale, White hinted that the third season will be “a satirical and funny look at Eastern death, faith, and spirituality. “

White explained this concept in her interview with Vanity Fair. “My gut tells me that maybe it has something to do with spirituality,” she said. “Eastern faith as opposed to Western faith or other Western people in an Eastern culture. Maybe after sex. ” I guess it would be cool to have something a little more heavenly or something a little more carnal, but I don’t know, to be honest, I have to beg because I don’t know.
Speaking of abandoned concepts. . . White told Entertainment Weekly that he first focused the second season on politics and power, rather than sex and relationships. “The Sicilian kind of mythology, at least from the From an American point of view, it’s the archetype of sexual politics and role-playing that we associate with, for example, opera, the mafia, and Italian romance,” he explained. “I felt it deserved to focus more on men and women, relationships. and adultery and having an operatic touch, so I took a turn. ” Still, the writer-director maintains that he can still implement the initial concept of it “maybe later, if they give us a third season. “
One thing that’s officially been settled—fans are in store for “a supersized White Lotus” whatever that means. “It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier,” White told EW. “I don’t know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing…I’m super excited about the content of the season.”
An arrival date has yet to be announced, but the layover may not last long. Production on the third season of The White Lotus will begin in Koh Samui, Phuket and Bangkok in February, HBO confirms. However, there were some delays along the way. While the next installment was originally scheduled for 2024, it will most likely retire in 2025, Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content, revealed at an HBO press conference in New York City on Nov. 2. following the case of the writers and the actors’ strikes.
In the past, White told Katie Couric that he wanted time after season two to recharge creatively. “I want to reboot a little bit,” White told Couric on his podcast. “I don’t have a lot of fuel in the tank. ” I want to figure out how to unplug and cool off or something. Can we suggest. . . a vacation?
