Season two of The White Lotus centers on sexuality, while season one focuses on wealth. White has stated that season three will be a satirical and humorous look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality, but he has purposely concealed plot information from the fans.
Introducing the ensemble cast and returning characters
A week passes as we follow the antics of a diverse group of visitors and staff at an elite Thai resort in this social satire. The nearly minute-and-a-half-long teaser introduces us to the large ensemble cast, which includes Natasha Rothwell, who reprises her original role as Hawaii spa manager Belinda Lindsey; three long-lost friends—Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan, and Leslie Bibb—who embark on a girls’ trip together after a long time apart.
With Parker Posey as his wife Victoria and Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Sam Nivola as their three children, Jason Isaacs portrays the role of Timothy Ratliff, a rich businessman on vacation. Schwarzenegger portrays Saxson, the oldest son, who works for his prosperous father’s business. Hook portrays Piper, a college student majoring in religious studies and the middle child. Nivola portrays Lochlan, who is the youngest and a senior in high school. Rick Hatchett, portrayed by Walton Goggins, is a macho man with a grudge against his younger, more carefree girlfriend Chelsea, played by Aimee Lou Wood. Lalisa Manobal portrays Mook, a health coach at The White Lotus Hotel, while Tayme Thapthimthong portrays Gaitok, a security guard. Sritala (Lek Patravadi), one of the proprietors of The White Lotus and the inspiration for its health program, is a visionary.
