HBO’s hit series The White Lotus has won numerous Emmy awards and millions of hearts across the globe. Since season 2 was a huge success, fans can’t wait for season 3 to be released. So, what is this new season going to offer? Let’s dive into all of the information we have about the show’s new season so far.
What’s Going on With Season 3?
The casting for season 3 has officially started. The best news is that there are going to be brand-new characters. The list has already been revealed by HBO, too. Due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes, actors will start filming season 3 of The White Lotus in February 2024. It was originally supposed to be released in 2024, but that will probably happen in 2025 now.
Since many characters got killed off or exited the show, the cast for season 3 has not been confirmed yet. However, there’s information that 9 new characters will become series regulars. The most interesting part is that HBO is casting people of all ages, from 18 to 80+. We’ll get to see a patriarch, a corporate executive, an actress, a few mothers, a misfit, and a yogi. We only have one cast member confirmed, and that’s Natasha Rothwell, who will continue to play Belinda.
Where Season 3 Is Set
The new season of The White Lotus will be set in Thailand, but the filming location has not yet been revealed. However, because the first two seasons were filmed in hotels, we’re expecting another luxurious place for season 3. Show creator Mike White has shared that the new season will be connected to “death in Eastern religion and spirituality.” Therefore, fans can expect the usual holistic themes and a “murder mystery.”
Mike White also mentioned that he had nearly finished the scripts for this new season. He also made many fans happy by saying that season 3 might be a bit longer than the previous two. He described it as a “supersized The White Lotus” and said it was going to be even crazier. Since the show creator is this excited, we can only imagine what the reaction of hardcore fans is going to be. All these facts are more than enough to make The White Lotus lovers eager for the upcoming episodes.
