The White Lotus is returning for a third season in 2025, and creator Mike White has big plans for the HBO dark comedy-drama series. White spoke about the series and his plans for season three prior to the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
The White Lotus is set in a new resort with a mostly different cast each season. Reports have season three set in Thailand, but that location has not been officially announced. Thirteen roles are currently being cast, with nine of them being series regulars. They include a patriarch, a corporate executive, an actress, a couple of mothers, a misfit, and a yogi.
Only one former cast member is attached to appear in the new season – Natasha Rothwell, who appeared as kind spa manager Belinda Lindsey in the first season. White is open to bringing other characters back as the series continues and has toyed with the idea of having an “all-star” season at some point.
White said the following about The White Lotus season three, per EW:
“I’m seriously finishing scripts. Still waiting to be able to cast. If the SAG strike isn’t resolved soon, then yeah, we’d have to push again because the show has a new cast every season, so there’s lots of parts to cast … I’m more than eager to get going.
It’s going to be a supersized White Lotus. It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier. 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.”
The premiere date for The White Lotus season three will be announced later.
What do you think? Are you excited to see more of The White Lotus on HBO? Do you enjoy this series?
See if season 2 was any good I would be excited for this but season 2 was atrocious so i’m very scared about this make sure this season isn’t an absolute mess Mike.
