The Cast
No cast has been announced for the third season, but rumors about potential returns for past cast members have been circulating. Following Season 2’s run, theories about Connie Britton‘s Season 1 character being related to Laura Dern‘s voiced character from Season 2 began circulating. Amid this fan frenzy, Murray Bartlett also expressed interest in a possible return to the franchise as Armond in a flashback storyline.
Only time will tell who will be checking into The White Lotus, but former stars aren’t entirely ruled out, as Season 1 favorite and Emmy-winner Jennifer Coolidge made a comeback in Season 2.
Theme
White previously teased that the Asia-set season would focus on “death and Eastern religion and spirituality.” While Season 1 highlighted class differences between guests and hotel employees, Season 2 focused on relationship dynamics and sex.
Premiere Date
No premiere date or window has been set at this time, but stay tuned for potential news as the third season takes shape.
