The White Lotus Season 3: Location, Theme, and Everything You Need to Know

The announcement that HBO’s The White Lotus will have its third season set in Thailand has been followed by the news of the first cast member. Natasha Rothwell, who portrayed the character of spa manager Belinda in Season 1, is returning for Season 3.

Despite Belinda’s experience with Tanya, played by Jennifer Coolidge, it is surprising that she would continue to work at this cursed hotel chain. Nonetheless, compared to other incidents that have occurred at the White Lotus resorts, her experience may not be the worst.

Let us delve deeper into everything we currently know about The White Lotus Season 3.

The White Lotus Season 3 release date prediction

As of now, it is difficult to determine the release date of Season 3. However, based on the timeline of the previous seasons, it is likely to premiere in late 2023 or early 2024.

Notably, HBO had renewed the show for a third season even before the second season had concluded. The show’s creator, writer, and director, Mike White, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and excitement to collaborate once again with his talented team for The White Lotus.

Where will The White Lotus Season 3 be set?

Variety reported on March 27 that The White Lotus Season 3 will be heading to Thailand, specifically across the Pacific Ocean. While the exact location in Thailand is yet to be confirmed, previous seasons of the show have been filmed at one of the Four Seasons locations in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, or Koh Samui. Our guess is that the production team might choose to shoot at Koh Samui, a stunning island resort that aligns with the show’s love for picturesque coastal settings.

Mike White, the creator of The White Lotus, had previously hinted that Season 3 might be set in Asia. Executive producer David Bernad also expressed his desire to film in Asia during a talk at the Berlinale Series Market. He said, “We’ve tried to work in Asia a lot and hopefully Season 3 will be our chance to make something happen there.”

During an after-the-episode featurette for the Season 2 finale on HBO, White teased the potential theme and location for the upcoming season. He mentioned that the first season focused on money, while the second season explored sex. For the third season, White suggested that they might take a satirical and comedic approach to death, Eastern religion, and spirituality. With such rich and diverse themes to explore, The White Lotus Season 3 is sure to be another must-watch season of the show.
