New Trouble Awaits Rich Vacationers in Trailer for ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3

Underneath the resort’s glamorous veneer of holistic wellness and eastern spirituality, something sinister lurks.

The unhappy, wealthy vacationers of The White Lotus are back.

In the trailer for the upcoming third season, premiering on HBO Feb. 16, creator Mike White takes viewers to a luxurious resort in Thailand for another week of drama, debauchery-- and possibly murder.

“Our hotel is the best in the world,” an employee says in the trailer. “At the end of the week, you will be an entirely different person.”

But underneath the resort’s glamorous veneer of holistic wellness and eastern spirituality, something sinister lurks.

“Everyone who comes to Thailand, they’re either hiding from someone or looking for someone,” another character says.

There’s a shot of a gun repeated throughout the trailer, mirroring the deaths that kicked off the plots of White Lotus seasons one and two.

The season features an all new cast, with the exception of White Lotus worker Belinda (Natasha Rothwell), who has traveled to Thailand to learn new techniques for her role as spa manager.

The season’s new characters include the Ratliff family, with the patriarch (Jason Isaacs) hiding a secret from his wife (Parker Posey), a girls' trip gone sour and a young woman (Aimee Lou Wood) traveling with her on-edge older boyfriend (Walton Goggins).

There will also be appearances from White Lotus workers, like Mook (Lalisa Manobal), a mental health mentor, owner Sritala (Lek Patravadi) and resort security guard Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong).

White promised viewers a “supersized White Lotus."

“It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I don’t know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing.”
