A Greek Tragedy in Thailand: Mike White on “The White Lotus” Season 3 Finale’s Explosive Ending

The deaths (plural) that were meted out during the season 3 finale of The White Lotus delivered yet another bitter final meal for some of our guests in Mike White’s zeitgeist-dominating series. After an eight-day stay in the Thailand-set resort, White’s anthology series drew to a bloody close, taking two of the season’s most beloved characters, Walton Goggins’ searching, soulful, sad Rick, and his delightful, daffy, even more soulful girlfriend, Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood).

“The White Lotus” Episode 6: It’s a Family Affair

After the last episode in season 3 of Mike White‘s The White Lotus, when Sam Rockwell parachuted into the storyline and delivered one of television’s most unexpected monologues in perhaps the medium’s history (a stretch? if so, not by much), episode 6 had a lot of narrative momentum. White’s cosseted guests this year, whether their troubles are of a dangerously anguished variety (looking at you, Walton Goggins’

Rocking “The White Lotus”: Behind the Series’ Most Surprising Cameo Ever

The White Lotus delivered arguably the most surprising cameo in its three-season run this past Sunday night when Sam Rockwell appeared as Frank in episode 5, “Full-Moon Party.” Frank is an old friend of Walton Goggins’ Rick, who meets him in Bangkok to offer Rick a little help with his dark mission to settle an old score. In the process, Frank added a revelation that gave the season an unexpected jolt.

Before leaving the resort for Bangkok,

Mike White Promises a Much Darker Season of “The White Lotus”

The White Lotus creator, Mike White, has been refreshingly candid about what the thematic framing has been around the first two seasons. Season one, set at the titular resort’s Hawaii location, was about money, White has said. Season two, set in Sicily, was about sex. Each season, however, dealt a deliciously dark twist at its end, with season one’s hotel manager, Armond (a perfectly cast Murray Bartlett), meeting a grim fate, while season two kicked off by letting viewers know it would end in death,

The Vacation Continues: “The White Lotus” Renewed For Season 4

The trip continues.

The White Lotus Season 4 has been officially greenlit by HBO before the first episode of Season 3 has aired. Variety reports that Mike White’s razor-sharp satire will return, with production likely to begin in 2026. There’s no indication yet where the fourth season will take place and whether any cast members will return (Natasha Rothwell, an alumnus from Season 1, is returning for the third season).

“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.

Carrie Coon Confirms “The White Lotus” Season 3 is About Death

Mike White’s The White Lotus season 3 will once again skewer the clueless rich as the first two seasons did with such gleeful precision, but it’s being built around a single theme just as seasons one and two did. This isn’t just pure speculation; it comes from season 3 cast member Carrie Coon, who will be one of the tourists idling away at the White Lotus in Thailand.

White’s anthology series has depicted both the staff and the guests of the titular White Lotus resort—Hawaii in season 1 and Sicily in season 2—with most of the guests falling somewhere on the Extreme Bozo end of the rich and entitled spectrum.

HBO’s “The White Lotus” Begins Casting For Season 3

Mike White’s brilliant The White Lotus is gearing up to bring a fresh group of cosseted tourists to a new resort location for season 3. After a gangbusters murder mystery in season two—set in the unimprovable location of Sicily—White is bringing the third season of his critically acclaimed series to Thailand, with production potentially beginning next February, Deadline reports. Meanwhile, casting has begun—there are few jobs more coveted in the TV world than landing a spot on The White Lotus roster—now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over.

“The White Lotus” Emmy-Nominated Music Supervisor Gabe Hilfer on Mia’s Musical Chops, Tanya’s Swan Song & More

Season two of Mike White’s killer satire The White Lotus established, from that gorgeous opening title sequence, that it was going to be a thing of beauty to hear as well as behold. Sure, you can hardly find a more lush location than Sicily, where this particular outpost of the titular resort chain is located, but Italy is more than just a feast for the eyes and, if you’re lucky enough to visit,

HBO—or now, HBO/Max—had a banner day yesterday when the 2023 Emmy nominations were announced. Its three flagship series, the final, bruising season of Jesse Armstrong’s Succession, the stunning first season of Craig Mazin’s The Last Of Us, and the immensely satisfying second season of Mike White’s The White Lotus led the pack. Succession was the CEO of the bunch, earning a whopping 27 nominations,

“The White Lotus” Season 3 is Headed to Thailand

Mike White’s deliciously devilish satire The White Lotus is headed to Thailand, Variety reports. Following the first season’s luxe tropical setting in Hawaii (shot at the Four Seasons) and season two’s decadent, Old World beauty in Sicily (also shot at the Four Seasons), there’s a good chance that season three will take advantage of the luxury hotel’s properties in Thailand. The country offers no shortage of jaw-dropping beauty, including lush jungles,

After Mike White’s deliciously biting satire The White Lotus delivered an immensely satisfying Sicily-set second season, there were whispers, some provided by White himself, that season three was headed to Asia.

“We’ve tried to work in Asia a lot, and hopefully, season three will be our chance to make something happen there,” the Emmy winner said during his address.

“The White Lotus” Season 2 Finale Ends With A Bang

It’s that rare thing in our current era of whole-season episode binging where a single series, with an episode-per-week release schedule, seems to capture everyone’s attention at once. This was definitely the case for the second season of Mike White’s The White Lotus, which began by promising multiple deaths at the eponymous Sicilian resort and spent seven episodes building to them and creating a delicious amount of speculation among the viewing public about who was leaving Sicily with a toe tag.

How do you come off a season that garnered 20 Emmy nominations across 13 categories and 10 wins (the most for any show this year), including Oustanding Limited or Anthology Series? One way is to bring back one of season one’s standouts,
