Since the HBO drama is an anthology series, each season ofThe White Lotusfollows a new crop of guests enjoying, or perhaps not enjoying, their vacation at different White Lotus resorts. While the first season was set in Hawaii and the second in Sicily, the third will head to Southeast Asia, and fans got a sneak peek into what exactly is in store for these new guests as they head east.

While fun and play are definitely in store for guests checking into the White Lotus, some visitors likeParker Posey’s character know that “something is off.“Michelle Monaghan’s own character also wonders “what the f— is this place” as another person notes they “almost died today.”

HBO announced in January that new cast members set to star in the upcoming third season installment were Monaghan, Posey,Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs and Tayme Thapthimthong were among those listed.

A few weeks later, season 3 added five more members to its cast: Goggins, Wood, Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola andPatrick Schwarzenegger.

Fans will recognize at least one familiar face in the new season’s cast. In April 2023,VarietyreportedthatNatasha Rothwell, who played spa manager Belinda Lindsey, will return for season 3.

BecauseThe White Lotusis an anthology series, each season doesn’t necessarily pick up from where it last left off. Series creatorMike Whitehinted at potential plot points for the upcoming season when speaking about each season’s respective themes during a Max featurette after the second season’s final episode aired.

“The first season we highlighted money and then the second season is sex and I think the third season, it would be maybe a kind of satirical and funny look at death in Eastern religion and spirituality — it feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus,” he said.Season 3 ofThe White Lotusis set to premiere on Feb. 16, 2025.
