Fans will soon be getting a chance to return to the hospitality, intrigue, and drama of The White Lotus.
Max dropped the first teaser trailer for the upcoming third season of the hit series on Sunday, revealing a brief but tantalizing glimpse of what’s in store for the upcoming season set in Thailand.
“New luxuries await you in Thailand,” the caption to the post reads, while a voice can be heard declaring, “What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand.”
The teaser was part of a larger package for HBO and Max, promoting all the forthcoming films and TV shows headed to the network and streamer over the next year.
It also gave us a look at returning star Natasha Rothwell — who previously starred in season 1 — and series newcomers Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Sam Nivola.
The upcoming third season also includes Leslie Bibb, Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood, Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon, and BLACKPINK‘s Lisa.
While Rothwell is the only returning star tapped for this season, there are still plenty of other White Lotus alums who would jump at the chance to check in again. Series creator Mike White previously told Deadline, “There are so many fun actors we’ve worked with so far, so it’s just kind of like who’s available.”
Filming for The White Lotus season 3 took place in and around Koh Samui, Phuket and Bangkok. HBO announced in January 2024 that it was working directly with the Tourism Authority of Thailand to support the filming and production of the show.
The destination lines up perfectly with White’s plans for the newest installment. “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,” he said in a making-of-season 2 video. “It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.”
The White Lotus seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Max. Season 3 is set to premiere sometime in 2025.
