The White Lotus season 3 trailer on HBO Max
HBO and Sky are preparing for the much-anticipated return of the critically acclaimed murder mystery drama that has kept viewers on the edge of their seats season after season.
Each series introduces a fresh batch of A-list actors playing high-profile guests at a luxury hotel, all of whom could potentially meet a grisly end before their stay is over.
Almost every episode of this must-watch drama has had audiences shouting in disbelief at their televisions due to the shocking plot twists and unexpected character developments.
It's now been officially announced that the third season of The White Lotus will debut on Sunday, February 16th, with the exciting news of the release date coinciding with the launch of a gripping new trailer this week.
The upcoming season will take place in Thailand and follow another group of dysfunctional wealthy tourists whose spiritual retreat takes a sinister turn, reports the Mirror.
Walton Goggins and Sex Education's Aimee Lou Wood feature as a destructive couple, while Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan and Leslie Bibb seem to portray a set of sisters.
In the meantime, Harry Potter star Jason Isaacs appears lost in the wilderness, Parker Posey is self-medicating and returning character Belinda Lindsey (played by Natasha Rothwell) is in search of a fresh start.
Joining the enigmatic storyline will be Scott Glenn, Sarah Catherine Hook, Patrick Schwarzenegger and K-pop sensation Lalisa Manobal, also known as Lisa.
The brainchild of Mike White, the first two seasons received worldwide praise and multiple Emmy awards, including two accolades for Jennifer Coolidge's unforgettable portrayal of Tanya McQuoid.
The White Lotus is set to make a triumphant return, and fans are already buzzing with anticipation. One eager fan gushed under the trailer: "The initial two seasons were quite remarkable. It was just amazing acting. I'm hoping they can maintain the momentum!"
Another chimed in with equal enthusiasm: "Its such a great series. Each season, they have an amazing cast. Couldn't believe they got Lisa this time."
The HBO drama's upcoming third season is shaping up to be unmissable TV, judging by the reactions to its previous instalments.
One X (formerly Twitter) user raved about the show's gripping nature: "Started #TheWhiteLotus today and, like countless football and bachelor fans before me, ended up screaming at my TV.
"I know it's fiction, but if you're on your honeymoon with Alexandra Daddario and all you can think about is how your room isn't right...buddy, you've got problems."
During the nail-biting season two finale, another viewer couldn't contain their reaction: "Me screaming at the screen the entire episode."
And yet another fan couldn't hold back after the season's conclusion: "That ending. I screamed. Absolutely insane show. I feel more insane having watched it. 10/10 can't wait for season 3."
With a plethora of top-notch television on the horizon, make sure to mark your calendars for The White Lotus season three, slated for early 2025.
Critics are also singing its praises, with NME branding it "utterly addictive" and Variety crowning the second season as their top pick for 2022. The question remains: will season three rise to meet the towering expectations?
The White Lotus season 3 premieres Sunday, February 16 on HBO in the US and the following Monday on Sky Go and NOW in the UK.
