The identities of all those deceased bodies teased at the start of The White Lotus Season 2 have now been revealed. Mike White’s comedy series would be much missed because it took us on the worst Italian holiday ever and had us guessing for weeks. Although nobody should ever stay at a White Lotus hotel because murders there never seem to stop, we’ll miss it between seasons but are glad that there are more to come.
Naturally, HBO picked up the show for a third season before the second had even concluded. “I feel so lucky to obtain this opportunity again and am delighted to reunite with my extremely creative partners on The White Lotus,” creator-writer-director Mike White said in a statement.
It’s too soon to say, but based on the fact that Season 1 was made available in the summer of 2021 and Season 2 started in the fall of 2022, we anticipate it will happen sometime in late 2023 or early 2024.
Although nothing has been made official, Mike White has made hints about the potential locations for Season 3. White gave a sneak peek at the prospective setting and overall concept of the upcoming season in the HBO after-the-episode documentary that accompanied the Season 2 finale. According to White, through V ariety, “The first season kind of accentuated money, and then the second season emphasises sex.” “The third season, in my opinion, might take a satirical and humorous look at death as well as Eastern spirituality and religion. A second visit to White Lotus seems like it could be a rich tapestry.”
Additionally, the programme itself provides a more precise location: “The Maldives next year!” During the final supper with her quartet, Daphne (Meghann Fahey) remarks. It seems implausible that White would reveal the setting and reveal which characters are returning thus far before Season 3 production has begun, but it may also be a real glimpse of what’s to come. The Maldives, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, has a Four Seasons hotel. The White Lotus shoots in these regional Four Seasons resorts. Given that Buddhism, Hinduism, and other East, South, and Southeast Asian religions are often referred to as “Eastern religion,” the Maldives, which has a majority Muslim population, would not be an appropriate location to study Eastern religion and spirituality. Therefore, we’ll just have to wait and see where Season 3 takes place. Whatever it is, it will undoubtedly be a popular hangout for the obscenely wealthy.
There haven’t been any casting announcements yet. The cast of the anthology series The White Lotus varies each season. The only remaining cast members for Season 2 were Jon Gries and Jennifer Coolidge. Who, if anyone, will return for Season 3 is yet unknown.
HBO Max now offers streaming access to The White Lotus Seasons 1 and 2.
