The White Lotus has become an iconic and beloved television series that has swept the awards circuit – but it’s not done yet.
Fans of the series will be ecstatic to know that The White Lotus is back for season three.
We were given our first look at the new season back in August, and then an official trailer that gave us a glimpse at this season’s characters.
So, as we head into the release of The White Lotus season three, we’ve rounded up everything to know.
Who is in the cast of The White Lotus season 3?
The series has featured a slew of high-profile actors over the first two seasons, including the likes of Emmy Award-winner Jennifer Coolidge, Theo James, Aubrey Plaza, Sydney Sweeney and Alexandra Daddario.
Off the back of these big names, the first lot of cast members for season three were announced – and there are some more incredible actors in the mix.
Natasha Rothwell, who appeared as the White Lotus resort spa manager Belinda Lindsey in season one of the show, returns to reprise her role in season three. So fans will be eager to find out what exactly Belinda is doing at the new resort…
The cast of The White Lotus season three includes:

There is a mix of veteran actors as well as those making their on-screen debuts in season three, and there have also been rumours of another character from season one making their return.
Connie Britton, who portrayed Nicole Massbacher, has revealed that there’s a strong possibility she’ll be reprising her role in the third instalment, despite not returning in season two.
“[Showrunner Mike White] wanted me to be in the second season, and there was an idea that I loved for the character,” Connie told Deadline.
“A piece of casting didn’t work in the second season and we’re hoping to [do] that in the third season. I would love to see a spin-off on every character in that show.”
Mike White has also previously hinted at the possibility of Michael Imperoli’s character Dominic Di Grosso returning in season three.
“Who knows, maybe there’ll be another White Lotus season where Dominic comes with his wife and they patch it all up!,” he told Esquire.
What is the plot of The White Lotus season 3?
We’re yet to be given an official synopsis for season three, but Mike White has suggested the focus will be on spirituality.
“The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex. I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality. It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus,” he said.
Where is season 3 of The White Lotus set?
Following season one’s backdrop of Hawaii and season two’s location of Italy, Mike White confirmed that season three would be set in Thailand. This was further confirmed in the new trailer which featured a voiceover stating, “What happens in Thailand, stays in Thailand.”
“It’s hard to think about the next race,” he told Deadline shortly after the season two finale aired. “But if we did, I think it’d be fun to maybe go to a whole different continent. You know, we did Europe, and maybe Asia, something crazy like that, that would be fun.”
As both previous seasons of The White Lotus were filmed at Four Seasons resorts, season three was also filmed at one of the franchise’s four hotel locations in Thailand.
