It’s been almost two years since HBO viewers last checked into The White Lotus, leaving anticipation for the third installment of Mike White‘s beloved Emmy-winning hit at a veritable fever pitch. Today HBO unveiled the official full-length trailer for The White Lotus Season 3, which not only confirms that Natasha Rothwell‘s beloved spa manager Belinda is still based in the luxury hotel chain’s Maui locations, but also offers several tantalizing teases about the upcoming season. The new White Lotus trailer reveals key plot points, including one wealthy patriarch’s desperation to recover his recently lost riches, an uptick in violent crime in Thailand, and a brewing blowup between three long-time besties (or frenemies) played by Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan, and Leslie Bibb.
So what do we know for sure about The White Lotus Season 3 so far? What new clues are hidden as Easter eggs in The White Lotus Season 3 trailer? And who’s who in The White Lotus Season 3 cast?
Here’s what we know so far about The White Lotus Season 3 and what we found in the brand new White Lotus teaser…
The White Lotus Season 3 will follow guests and staff at a super opulent “White Lotus” spa and hotel located in Thailand. We already knew that Natasha Rothwell would be reprising her White Lotus Season 1 role in the new season, but the trailer confirms that Belinda hasn’t been transferred from the Maui, Hawaii White Lotus. Rather, she’s visiting the Thai location to soak up the “magic” of its spa to bring back to the States.
Rothwell’s Belinda is the third returning White Lotus character, after Jennifer Coolidge’s now-deceased Tanya and her con artist husband Greg (Jon Gries). Everyone else in The White Lotus Season 3 cast plays a new character, be it a guest staying at the Thai brand of the White Lotus or someone on staff.
In addition to confirming why Natasha Rothwell’s Belinda is visiting Thailand, the brand new White Lotus trailer also gives us a few major clues about what appears to be three or four major storylines to follow next season:
