During an interview with EW, The White Lotus creator Mike White offered a new update about the highly-anticipated third season of the acclaimed HBO comedy. He revealed that he’s currently in the process of completing the scripts for Season 3.
“I’m seriously finishing scripts,” White said. “Still waiting to be able to cast. If the SAG strike isn’t resolved soon, then yeah, we’d have to push again because the show has a new cast every season, so there’s lots of parts to cast . . . I’m more than eager to get going.”

The School of Rock scribe also teased what fans can expect to see in The White Lotus Season 3, hinting at a potentially larger ensemble cast and bigger scale. Due to the ongoing actors’ strike, HBO is currently eyeing a 2025 return date for the series.
“It’s going to be a supersized White Lotus,” White revealed. “It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier. I don’t know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing . . . I’m super excited about the content of the season.”
The White Lotus is created, written, and directed by White (Enlightened). It is executive produced by White, David Bernard, Mark Kamine, and Nick Hall. The highly-anticipated third season is reportedly going to take place in Thailand after Seasons 1 and 2 were filmed in Hawaii and Italy, respectively. Season 3 would feature the return of Season 1 cast member Natasha Rothwell as she reprises her role as Belinda Lindsay. At the moment, she’s the only confirmed cast member for the next installment.
