HBO’s hit series ‘The White Lotus’ is finally returning for its third season, and fans couldn’t be more excited. The show will premiere on February 16, 2025, marking its much-anticipated comeback after a two-year break. This time, the Emmy-winning social satire will take viewers to Thailand, where all the drama will unfold at an exclusive resort.
The storyline for season 3 is expected to span over a week, as new guests and employees navigate the chaos, luxury, and dark undertones of the vacation. The trailer hints at dramatic moments, including someone falling off a boat, a mysterious gun, and of course, the gripping ‘White Lotus’ theme track that keeps fans coming back for more.
The upcoming season boasts an impressive star-studded cast including Natasha Rothwell who returns as Belinda from season 1, while new faces include Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, and Walton Goggins. HBO shared details about some of the characters: Bibb, Coon, and Monaghan will play three best friends on a long-overdue girls’ trip, while Goggins portrays a rugged man with a tough exterior travelling with his girlfriend (played by Aimee Lou Wood). Meanwhile, Isaacs will play a wealthy businessman vacationing with his family.
One person who won’t be back is fan-favorite Jennifer Coolidge, who played Tanya in the first two seasons. Her character’s shocking death in season 2 left fans wondering if she would make a surprise return. Addressing the speculation, she said in an interview early this year, that no one from the show had reached out to her and also added that she believed Tanya’s story had ‘officially ended’.
Fans, however, are already buzzing with excitement. The recently released trailer has sparked thousands of comments, with viewers praising the show’s ability to reinvent itself each season. Many fans are especially thrilled about South Korean superstar Lisa of BLACKPINK, who is set to play a member of the White Lotus staff in season 3.
‘The White Lotus’ season 3 will premiere on February 16, 2025, on HBO Max.
