Since the trailer dropped for the long-awaited third season of The White Lotus, we haven’t been able to contain our excitement for the next slice of drama. The trailer gave us a glimpse at the next calamitous vacation to befall a group of stinkingly wealthy and oblivious holidaymakers.
Debuting this Sunday (16 February) on HBO, season three of The White Lotus takes place in a luxury hotel in Thailand (The Independent’s global travel editor, Annabel Grossman, stayed at the resorts to discover what we can expect from the upcoming series), following previous seasons set in Hawaii and Sicily.
Directed by Mike White, The White Lotus follows the grim exploits of guests and employees at the fictitious White Lotus resort chain. Each season features a new cast of characters, with the notable exception of Jennifer Coolidge as the gloriously unhinged socialite Tanya, who made appearances in the first and second seasons of the show.
Plot details are still firmly under wraps but The White Lotus season three trailer showed off a few new guests, including those played by Walton Goggins, Leslie Bibb and Parker Posey. Also starring is Nathasa Rothwell (who played spa manager Belinda in season one), and Lisa from K-pop group Blackpink.
