Is it finally time to return to The White Lotus? The HBO hit has been off the air for over a year, but returns this February with The White Lotus Season 3. The all-new season of the Mike White show promises to whisk viewers away to the gorgeous environs of Thailand, where a group of hot forty-something besties, a well-to-do Southern family, and May-December couple will try to thrive — and survive — on vacation at yet another White Lotus resort. So when exactly do new episodes of The White Lotus air on HBO? Is The White Lotus Season 3 premiere on MAX tonight?
The last season of The White Lotus ended with the shocking death of series favorite Tanya McQuoid-Hunt (Jennifer Coolidge) in Italy. Fans of the HBO show will recall that Tanya’s beloved Greg (Jon Gries) secretly orchestrated his rich wife’s downfall in a twisted act of betrayal. How will The White Lotus showrunner and director Mike White top this wild storyline in Season 3?
The White Lotus Season 3 might not have Tanya, but it will feature the return of another beloved Season 1 character: spa manager Belinda Lindsey (Natasha Rothwell). Belinda will be staying at The White Lotus resort in Thailand to learn how to bring some of the hotel’s “magic” back to Maui. Joining Belinda as staff this season are Thai actors Tayme Thapthimthong, Dom Hetrakul, and international superstar, Lalisa Manobal (aka Lisa of BLACKPINK).
Of course, most of the fun of The White Lotus comes from watching the terrible, wretched, beautiful, and glamorous guests get into mischief. The White Lotus Season 3 cast features stars like Fallout‘s Walton Goggins, The Gilded Age‘s Carrie Coon, Bad Monkey‘s Michelle Monaghan, Sex Education‘s Aimee Lou Wood, and The Perfect Couple‘s Sam Nivola as tourists of varying levels of toxic this time around.
