White Lotus fancasts are out. (Yes, even ours.) White Lotus official casting announcements are in.
HBO revealed in a press release that six new cast members are joining Season 3 of The White Lotus, Mike White’s award-winning social satire set at high-end vacation resorts. Among the new arrivals are Leslie Bibb (Jupiter’s Legacy, Iron Man), Dom Hetrakul (Bangkok Dangerous, The Outrage), Jason Isaacs (the Harry Potter films, The Crowded Room), Michelle Monaghan (Nanny, the Mission: Impossible films), Parker Posey (Beau Is Afraid, Party Girl), and Tayme Thapthimthong (Skin Trade, Farang). It’s an exciting group of actors, and as for Posey’s involvement, we pitched that all the way back in 2022.
These six be joining a familiar face, and the only other announced cast member: Natasha Rothwell, who played Season 1’s put-upon spa manager Belinda.
Apart from casting news and the revelation that Season 3 will be set in Thailand, details are few and far between. Will there be another unfortunate murder? Will Belinda learn about the death of Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge)? And will we get another line as iconic as “These gays are trying to murder me”?
We’ll have to wait a while to find out: The White Lotus Season 3 begins filming in February, and audiences won’t be jetting off to Thailand until 2025.
