The cast for season three is star-studded — with one former employee back among the new group of guests and White Lotus staff.

Season one star Natasha Rothwell will return and reprise her originating role as Belinda Lindsey, the spa manager at the Hawaiian resort who aspired to create her own business and was left with a wad of cash from Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya McQuoid.

Natasha Rothwell’s return casting follows in the footsteps of Jennifer Coolidge, who served as a bridge to the first two seasons of the anthology series when the heiress showed up on the Sicilian coast for season two. Her story tragically ended as she died towards the end.

Joining Rothwell in season three are franchise newcomers Carrie Coon and Scott Glenn, Walton Goggins, Leslie Bibb, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, Blackpink member Lisa, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs, Tayme Thapthimthong, Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aimee Lou Wood, Nicholas Duvernay, Francesca Corney, Arnas Fedaravičius, Christian Friedel, Morgana O’Reilly, Lek Patravadi and Shalini Peiris. 

Season three will be filming in and around Koh Samui, Phuket and Bangkok for The White Lotus‘ Thailand season. HBO partnered with the Tourism Authority of Thailand to support the filming and production of the season. Seasons one and two were filmed at the Four Seasons hotels in Maui, Hawaii, and Taormina, Sicily, respectively, with both experiencing a tourism bump from the show.
