It’s been two years since the second season of “The White Lotus” ended in December 2022, more than enough time for the post-holiday blues to set in. Eager enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting season 3 of “The White Lotus. “The bad news? Registration may take some time.
“The White Lotus” premiered in July 2021 as a limited series set in the titular Hawaii hotel. The depressing disorders of the privileged (mostly white) contrasted with the degradations suffered by the staff who cared for them. The show’s good fortune in ratings and on the awards circuit led to Season 2, which shifted location to Sicily and concentrated on sex and power struggles.
The third season will feature a new cast and concentrate on another theme as well as a new location. “I think maybe season three would be a satirical and funny look at Eastern death, faith and spirituality,” author Mike White said behind-the-scenes video after the Season 2 finale. “I feel like it could be a rich tapestry for another excursion to White Lotus. “
A lot of new data has been released about the upcoming season. Unfortunately, one of those data points is the fact that our return to the hotel simply won’t take place in 2024. Here’s what we know about Season 3 of “The White Lotus. “
Although “The White Lotus” returns for a third season, it may not be on your TV for a while. Although the recent 2023 writers’ strike ended in a relatively short period of time, the SAG-AFTRA strike that occurred meant that the paintings may not yet begin in the show’s final set of episodes. At the time, casting was still underway and the script had not yet been completed.
With that in mind, HBO launched through Variety to give enthusiasts a realistic date to expect the series to return. And that date is rarely until 2025, according to Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and Max.
“The third season of White Lotus probably would have been up for grabs by 2024, we’re in 2025,” Bloys told reporters at a press conference, admitting that production had been affected by writers’ and actors’ strikes.
Clearly, there is a long way to go, a total year, to be exact. In a few months, there will most likely be a faster release date window to look forward to. But for now this remains an unknown.
“The White Lotus” is an anthology series, so with each new season, there are new faces to be seen. Season 3 is no different, and there’s a whole host of new cast members that you’ll be seeing around the hotel.
In April 2023, Variety reported that Natasha Rothwell, who played spa manager Belinda Lindsey, would appear in the ebook in season 3.
While “White Lotus” Season 3 may bring back some of the characters from the last two seasons, Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) may not be a part of it as she died after shooting gay mobsters and then falling off the yacht.
Although the decision to kill off a beloved character might seem strange, author White said, “Although I think it would be a lot of fun to bring Tanya back because she’s an amazing character, but maybe that’s the adventure for her. “It’s not that I wanted to kill Tanya because I love her as a character and I clearly love Jennifer, but I felt like we were going to Italy, she’s a diva, a larger-than-life female archetype. “I felt like we can also design our own lyrical conclusion to Tanya’s life and her story. “
However, a slew of new actors will be joining the team in “White Lotus” Season 3:
The roles of the new actors have yet to be revealed, but with all the quick reveals about the newcomers to Season 3, it looks like there will be more details coming very soon.
Welcome to White Lotus: Thailand!
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and HBO announced that filming on “The White Lotus” season 3 is scheduled to begin in February in Bangkok, Phuket and Ko Samui.
“We revere to be able to showcase Thailand as a filming location for the highly anticipated upcoming season of ‘The White Lotus,'” TAT Governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool said in a press release.
“The kingdom’s exotic natural beauty, its rich ancient sites and varied landscapes provide the best setting to share our attractive culture, cuisine, world-class wellness and luxury offerings, and most importantly, our people and Thai hospitality. “
While neither TAT nor HBO have shown the precise location of the shoot, we can firmly assume that it will be at a Four Seasons hotel. Season 1 was filmed at the Four Seasons Resort Maui in Wailea and Season 2 was filmed at the Palacio di San Domenico, a five-star hotel operated through Four Seasons in the town of Taormina, Sicily.
Fans have previously speculated that season 3 could film at one of Thailand’s four Four Seasons properties. Two of them are in Koh Samui and Bangkok.
The second season of “The White Lotus” left audiences with plenty of lingering questions, particularly surrounding Greg and the shocking events that lead to Tanya’s death. With that in mind, it seems the next season could potentially build on these happenings, particularly to address a variety of questions that went unanswered at the season’s conclusion.
The ending generated intrigue about Greg’s true intentions towards Tanya, their mysterious phone conversation, and Portia would one day confront him about the extent of his responsibility.
As for the long-awaited third season, author White hinted at a change in setting and thematic focus. While the first season focused on the dynamics of wealth and the moment on the complexities of sexual relationships, the third season is expected to explore themes of death and Eastern culture. spirituality. This twist may specifically replace the character of the series, but in a way that may end up attracting new looks.
