'The White Lotus' Season 3 Set in Thailand, Expected in 2025, with Natasha Rothwell Returning, Series to Focus on Eastern Religion and Spirituality

Due to combined writers' and actors' strikes, HBO's 'The White Lotus' Season 3 is projected for a 2025 release; season set in Thailand with a "longer, bigger, crazier" plot centered on Eastern religion and spirituality.

  • Due to strikes involving writers and actors, HBO's 'The White Lotus' Season 3 is delayed and now set for release in 2025. It will bring back actress Natasha Rothwell and take place in Thailand.
  • Series creator Mike White plans to start production at the beginning of the year, provided the SAG-AFTRA strike ends and casting can occur. The show's anthology format means a new cast is required each season.
  • Jennifer Coolidge, who played Tanya McQuiod, is unlikely to return given the conclusion of her character's storyline in the season 2 finale, despite her expressed interest and audience adoration. Other cast members like Jake Lacy and Alexandra Daddario have shown willingness to return.
  • Season 3 of 'The White Lotus' will be 'longer, bigger, crazier' according to Mike White, and promises to offer a satirical look at death in Eastern religion and spirituality amidst the opulence of luxury hotels in Thailand. This sets a new theme following earlier seasons focused on wealth and sex.
  • While firm details on the Season 3 plot remain scarce, White has alluded that threads from Season 2 involving character Greg Hunt (Jon Gries) may resurface. No trailers are released yet, but the season is expected to feature seven or more episodes.
