When The White Lotus finally releases its shocking season three teaser, guests are left wondering, if is White Lotus season 3,
The third installment of the popular HBO series will debut in February 2025, transporting viewers to Southeast Asia.
Fans were taken aback when the official @streamonmax Instagram account teased a big revelation on Monday morning, December 16, following the season 2 conclusion of HBO’s popular series The White Lotus in 2022.
The post’s teaser description, which also revealed the new season poster, read, “In one hour, karma comes for everyone.” A white lotus blossom against a green background was featured on the poster itself, along with the same slogan, “Karma comes for everyone.” The poster’s subtle features, such as the gold outlines of buildings in the backdrop and snakes concealed within the filament of the flower, suggested potential story twists.
An hour later, the most recent trailer for the forthcoming season was released, revealing the mystery of what karma would be coming for everyone.
Because The White Lotus is an anthology series on HBO, each season focuses on a different group of visitors who are either having a good time or not at various White Lotus resorts. The third season will take place in Southeast Asia, while the first and second seasons were set in Hawaii and Sicily, respectively. Fans were given a preview of what to expect from these new visitors as they go east.
While tourists checking into the White Lotus are sure to have a good time, some, like Parker Posey’s character, are aware that “something is off.” The character played by Michelle Monaghan also contemplates “what the f— is this place” as someone else remarks that they “almost died today.”
Aimee Lou Wood’s character, a guest, writes to Walton Goggins’ character, who seems to be her significant other, despite the mayhem. “But we got the room comped, didn’t we, babe?”
In January, HBO revealed that Monaghan, Posey, Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs, and Tayme Thapthimthong were among the new cast members that would be starring in the upcoming third season.
A few weeks later, Goggins, Wood, Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola, and Patrick Schwarzenegger joined the cast of season three.
There will be at least one familiar face among the cast of the upcoming season. Variety said in April 2023 that Natasha Rothwell, who portrayed Belinda Lindsey, the spa manager, would be returning for season 3.
Each season of The White Lotus does not necessarily continue where the previous one left off because it is an anthology series. When discussing the themes of each season in a Max featurette following the premiere of the second season’s last episode, series creator Mike White alluded to possible narrative points for the next season.
“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 stated.
The White Lotus’s season 3 will debut on February 16, 2025.
