Another trip to White Lotus is already planned. Since the stunning finale of the second season, White Lotus season three has been on everyone’s minds. Fans can breathe a sigh of relief — creator Mike White will send viewers to Thailand for the third season. In early 2024, HBO announced several new cast members who will ignite the drama this time.
Although Hollywood’s double punches delayed production, filming for the third season of White Lotus began in early 2024. The show, renewed in November 2022, has already received numerous awards for its second season, which was enthusiastically praised by critics.
From the expected premiere date to the new location and cast members, HollywoodLife has all the latest details on the third season of White Lotus.
The third season of White Lotus, filmed in Thailand, will premiere on February 16 on HBO and will be available for viewing on Max.
Filming began in February 2024, although HBO network head Casey Bloys previously noted that the season was delayed due to WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. «White Lotus season three was likely supposed to come out in 2024, but now it’s 2025», - Bloys said in November 2023, according to Variety.
Meghan Fahy shared with Glamour magazine that creator Mike White «writes very quickly and doesn’t make many edits». The first season of the popular show premiered in July 2021, followed by the second season in October 2022.
HBO’s Executive Vice President of Programming and Head of HBO Series and Films Francesca Orsi added: «Looking back at White Lotus' humble, fast origins as a limited production during the pandemic, it’s impossible not to admire how Mike has organized one of the most talked-about and highly acclaimed shows. And yet, he continues to reach new heights in the second season, which is a true testament to Mike’s raw, unparalleled vision. His boldness to explore uncharted waters of the human psyche, paired with his characteristic irreverent humor and lively directing style, make us dream of even more vacation days at the resort we have come to love. We couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to collaborate on the third season together».
Natasha Rothwell was the first confirmed cast member for the third season of White Lotus. Natasha played Belinda Lindsay in the first season, the spa manager at a resort in Hawaii, who has a complicated relationship with Tanya, played by Jennifer Coolidge. Variety first reported Natasha’s return in April 2023. For her performance in the first season, Natasha was nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Actress in a Miniseries.
In January 2024, HBO announced the first group of cast members who will join Natasha in the third season. Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, and Time Taptimtong are among the new cast members.
A few days after the first group of cast members for the third season was announced, Carrie Coon was added to the cast. Carrie currently plays Bertha Russell in The Gilded Age on HBO. She will take a break from corsets and drama of the late 19th century and head to Thailand for White Lotus. Don’t worry, Gilded Age fans. Carrie will return for the third season of The Gilded Age.
Fans suspect that Danny DeVito may be among the new faces checking into the resort in Thailand. In March 2023, a fan claimed on Reddit that Danny and Mike White met for dinner in West Hollywood, fueling speculation that they were discussing the possibility of Danny joining the show.
Many well-known actors have expressed interest in participating in White Lotus. Hayden Panettiere, who made her return to acting in Scream 6, told E! News that she really wants to be part of the HBO show. «I really want to do it», - she said. «I want to do it like Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch». Hayden also said she would like her character to be connected to Tanya, played by Jennifer Coolidge. «She's my favorite, I adore her. I’ll be all in for her»
