“The White Lotus” Season 3 Trailer Unveils a Starry Cast on a Dark Path in Thailand
The first trailer for The White Lotus season 3 has arrived, with the season set in Thailand, where the titular global resort chain offers its guests the kind of peace they so sorely lack in their daily lives. Mike White’s beloved satire returns to HBO this February, with one returning cast member from the first season (Natasha Rothwell) and another killer ensemble.
The new season’s guests include a girl’s trip trio (Leslie Bibb as Kate, Carrie Coon as Laurie, and Michelle Monaghan as Jaclyn), a wealthy businessman traveling with his wife and three kids (Jason Isaacs as Timothy), including Sarah Catherine Hook as his daughter Piper and Parker Posey as his wife Victoria, Rothwell returning as the spa manager, this time at the Thai location, and Walter Goggins as Rick, described as a “rugged man with a chip on his shoulder, traveling with his girlfriend Chelsea” [Aimee Lou Wood].
White has previously described season one as primarily about money, season two about sex, and now, season three will flirt with death. The trailer reveals the reliably off-kilter and brazenly self-involved guests handling a grab bag of anxieties that they’ve lugged all the way to Thailand, with a brief shot of a robbery and plenty of intimations of something going terribly wrong. This being The White Lotus, we can expect the unexpected and to once again be wowed by White’s command and clear love for his characters, even the most loathsome among them.
Here’s the full cast list: Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Lalisa Manobal, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola, Lek Patravadi, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Tayme Thapthimthong, Aimee Lou Wood. Additional cast includes Nicholas Duvernay, Arnas Fedaravičius, Christian Friedel, Scott Glenn, Dom Hetrakul, Julian Kostov, Charlotte Le Bon, Morgana O’Reilly, and Shalini Peiri
