The White Lotus Hotel is now accepting reservations once more.
On Monday, HBO revealed the trailer for the eagerly awaited third season of “The White Lotus,” which moves the critically acclaimed anthology series to Thailand.
The official description indicates that the new season unfolds over a week, promising a whirlwind of events. The trailer hints at conflicts among the new guests, threats from a masked man with a gun, and someone falling from a boat.
The tagline for this season is “Seeking peace can be a trip,” with a monk suggesting a deeper theme by stating, “Everyone runs from pain towards pleasure, but they arrive only to discover more pain.”
The inaugural season of “The White Lotus,” set in Hawaii, earned 10 Emmy Awards, including the prestigious outstanding limited or anthology series. The second season, located in Sicily, continued the story with a fresh cast and setting while featuring Jennifer Coolidge’s character, Tanya. That season secured 23 Emmy nominations and won five awards.
This upcoming season marks the first without Coolidge, whose character met her end in the Season 2 finale. However, Natasha Rothwell returns as Belinda, the spa manager from Season 1, explaining in the trailer that she is part of an exchange program. Additionally, creator Mike White is back as the writer and director.
