Hit comedy-drama The White Lotus will be heading back to HBO for a third series.

The popular anthology series will be back, and while details remain scarce, HBO has confirmed that the upcoming series will focus on a different cast at an entirely different White Lotus resort.

“There’s no place I’d rather work than HBO and there’s no people I’d rather partner with than Casey Bloys, Francesca Orsi, Nora Skinner, and their incredible team,” said showrunner, writer, and creator Mike White. “I feel so lucky to get this opportunity again and am excited to reunite with my amazingly talented collaborators on The White Lotus.”

I can’t wait to welcome you to the next White Lotus property.

The White Lotus premiered in July 2021 and focuses on the guests and employees of the White Lotus resort in Hawaii.

Although the second season moved to a different resort in Sicily, Italy, actress Jennifer Coolidge (aka Stifler’s mom) returned to reprise the role of Tanya McQuoid – a troubled woman trying to process the recent death of her mother.

“Reflecting on The White Lotus’ humble, run-and-gun origin as a contained pandemic production, it’s impossible not to be awestruck by how Mike orchestrated one of the buzziest and most critically acclaimed shows,” said HBO Programming executive VP Francesca Orsi.

Season 2 saw Jennifer Coolidge joined by F. Murray Abraham, Michael Imperioli, Aubrey Plaza, Will Sharpe, Theo James, Meghann Fahy, Adam DiMarco, Tom Hollander, Sabrina Impacciatore, Jon Gries, Haley Lu Richardson, Beatrice Granno, Simona Tabasco and Leo Woodall.

It’s unclear whether any of these actors will return for the third season.

A social satire set at an exclusive Hawaiian resort, this six-episode limited series follows the vacations of various hotel guests over the span of a week as they relax and rejuvenate in paradise. But with each passing day, a darker complexity emerges in these picture-perfect travelers, the hotel’s cheerful employees, and the idyllic locale itself.

The White Lotus premieres Sunday, July 11 on HBO.

IGN’s review of The White Lotus Season 2 gave it 8/10 and said: “The White Lotus Season 2 shifts its location to Sicily, but the guest registry collects another fascinating grab bag of ugly Americans wrestling with mo’ money, mo’ problems.”
