What is the storyline and theme of White Lotus season 3?
Each season of the dark hotel series has had some sort of theme and this one seems to be all about death.
Following a new crowd of guests at the Thailand White Lotus, not much has been given away in regards to the plot and theme but we are promised it will be "supersized".
Mike White, a writer and producer for the series has said to HBO: "The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex, and I think the third season, it would be a satirical and funny look at death and eastern religion and spirituality. And it feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round of White Lotus."
Who is in the White Lotus season 3 cast?
Of course, we're sad there is no Jennifer for the first time, however, the cast is just as fabulous and there is a returning face for this season.
From season one, we'll see the return of Natasha Rothwell, the spa manager of the Hawaiian resort. Talking of her return, she told The Hollywood Reporter: "When [creator] Mike White was finishing up season two, he asked to grab dinner with me. I thought nothing of it.
"But he was already thinking about season three and wanting to explore her more. I told him I’d follow him anywhere, and I meant it. I didn’t know where the shoot or the storyline were, it was just a yes.”
