“The White Lotus” is heading to Thailand, multiple sources close to the production told Variety.
The magazine is convinced that because the first two seasons were filmed at Four Seasons resorts in Hawaii and Italy, season 3 could well take place at one of the luxury hotel giant’s four properties in Thailand (either Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Koh Samui or the Golden Triangle. )
Whilst HBO declined to comment, creator Mike White recently told Deadline: “It’s hard to think about the next race… But if we did, I think it’d be fun to maybe go to a whole different continent. You know, we did Europe, and maybe Asia, something crazy like that, that would be fun. ”
And in a YouTube clip from HBO entitled Unpacking S2 E7, he added: “The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex. I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality. It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus. ”
What will season 3 of The White Lotus be about?
Unsurprisingly, things are being kept pretty schtum in that area, but Mike has talked before about a plotline that never came to fruition.
He told Entertainment Weekly: “I might still do it down the road maybe, if they give us a third season, so I don’t know if I should say… Originally, it was more of like a Bilderberg conference, more about getting into some of the bigger power dynamics there. But Sicily was a totally different vibe than the idea I pitched. That didn’t seem right. ”
So, perhaps series 3 of The White Lotus will see a group of political leaders descend upon the hotel… interesting.
Who will be in the cast of The White Lotus season 3?
There’s been no announcements, but obviously those who didn’t survive the first two series presumably won’t be appearing in series 3 (no spoilers here). Technically, any characters who featured in season 1 and 2 could reappear, just as Jennifer Coolidge did. Any guesses?
When’s the release date for The White Lotus season 3?
There’s been no official word yet, but many have guessed early 2024, judging by the release dates of previous seasons. We’ll keep you posted.
