New character details for The White Lotus season 3 shed light on who might be joining the cast. The HBO hit reached new highs with season 2, which was set at a branch of the titular resort in Italy and shifted away from the class conflict of season 1 to focus more on how even the most personal relationships can be transactional. That tenuous setup built to an eventful finale that led to much excitement about where the show could go next, although that was temporarily delayed due to the fallout from the writers and actors strikes.
More information about The White Lotus season 3 is being revealed now that the strikes have concluded, including a recent report from Deadline that reveals character details. It’s mentioned that the upcoming episodes of the Emmy-winning HBO dramedy will once again feature a large, multi-generational cast. Thirteen roles are being cast currently. That includes nine main series regulars, who range in age from 18 up to 80 and beyond. The basic character descriptions mention “a patriarch, a corporate executive, an actress, a few moms, a misfit, and a yoga enthusiast.”
What To Know About The White Lotus Season 3
It’s been announced that the upcoming episodes will be filmed in Thailand. The Asia-set season 3 has been teased as “a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality,” reportedly taking place at a wellness spa. Series creator Mike White has generally sidestepped sharing further details, but he has described that The White Lotus season 3 will be longer, bigger, and wilder. As for the release date, the show is tentatively slated to return in 2025.
In the aftermath of the White Lotus season 2 finale, there were some questions about whether the HBO darling could continue the story of Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) by bringing back her assistant, Portia (Haley Lu Richardson), given that Portia is somewhat aware of the bizarre details surrounding Tanya’s drowning. It is unclear if Richardson will reprise her role, but The White Lotus season 3 will include a returning character.
Natasha Rothwell will reprise her season 1 role as Belinda, who had a negative experience with Tanya in the dramedy’s first six episodes. The experience left Belinda dismayed and ultimately distant. With this latest update, the question of who else might join Rothwell in The White Lotus season 3 might soon become clearer. The series is known for bringing out surprising and memorable performances, which adds to the intrigue.
