The cast of "The White Lotus" season 3 is reportedly growing with six new cast members, according to Variety.
Joining season 1 fan-favorite Natasha Rothwell will be Leslie Bibb ("Iron Man," "Jupiter's Legacy"), Dom Hetrakul ("Bangkok Dangerous," "The Outrage"), Jason Isaacs ("Harry Potter" franchise, "The Death of Stalin"), Michelle Monaghan ("Gone Baby Gone," "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"), Parker Posey ("Best in Show," "The Staircase"), and Tayme Thapthimthong ("Farang," "Skin Trade").
It was announced that Rothwell will reprise her role as Belinda back in April 2023. The show will reportedly begin production in Koh Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok, Thailand, in February. Although details of the plot have mostly been kept under wraps, it's bound to be juicy at any White Lotus resort.
"We are pleased to partner with the Tourism Authority of Thailand to execute Mike's creative vision and showcase all that the beautiful country of Thailand has to offer, as the next group of guests check in to the White Lotus," said Janet Graham Borba, executive vice president of production for HBO & Max.
Mike White serves as creator, executive producer and director of "The White Lotus," with David Bernad and Mark Kamine also as executive producers.
About the show, Thapanee Kiatphaibool, governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), added: "We are honored to have Amazing Thailand featured as the filming location for the highly anticipated upcoming season of 'The White Lotus.' The kingdom's exotic natural beauty, rich historical sites and diverse landscapes are the perfect settings to share our fascinating culture, fantastic cuisine, top-notch wellness and luxury offerings, and most importantly our people and Thai hospitality."
Thailand has long been considered one of the world's favorite filming locations, added Kiatphaibool. "'The White Lotus' project will certainly strengthen the kingdom's status as a preferred filming destination and a beacon of experience-based tourism, inspiring even more visitors to Amazing Thailand," she added.
The first season of the show was set in Hawaii, and received 20 Emmy nominations and 10 wins. The second season, set in Sicily, earned 23 Emmy nominations.
