White Lotus Season 3: Everything we know
HBOThe White Lotus is where everyone wants to stay – with Season 3 officially underway, here’s everything you need to know about the new series.
White Lotus season 2 took over the internet and most TV screens when it debuted back in 2022, with the second season of the show picking up the momentum from the first and building upon it in a near-perfect way.

With the location of Season 3 having been confirmed, we’ve gathered everything we know so far about the upcoming season ahead of its release.

Previously, series creator Mike White hinted that Season 3 may take place in Asia, with the focus this time around being on “death and Eastern religion and spirituality.”
HBO“The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex,” White said during a clip at the end of the season 2 finale. “I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality.
