What Will ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 Be About?
As the trailer teases, “What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand.”
The series creator and writer Mike White has shared that while season 1 of The White Lotus explored themes of money and season 2 focused on sex, Season 3 will take a darker turn, exploring the themes of death and Eastern spirituality.
For season 3, fans can expect a new cast of wealthy, troubled guests checking into a new White Lotus resort. The guests include a group of three long-time friends who are reuniting on a girls’ trip. A wealthy family who appears to have everything but is actually on the brink of financial ruin. A free-spirited woman and her older, more serious boyfriend. Plus, Belinda from the Hawaii resort in season 1 is there to learn about the resort’s wellness techniques. Get ready for a can’t-miss season that will leave you on the edge of your seat and to see who will make it out alive.
