Secrets, intrigue, murder – and glamorous luxury hotels! With its irresistible mix of fun and drama, the hit HBO show "The White Lotus" became an instant success. After an eventful first season in Hawaii, the acclaimed second season took place in Sicily. Both times, hotels by Four Seasons served as the stunning backdrop for the show's addictive hijinks (first the Four Seasons Resort Maui, followed by the Four Seasons Hotel San Domenico Palace in Taormina). For the eagerly awaited third season, the action will move to Thailand – once again set at a Four Seasons resort.

Where is season 3 of "The White Lotus" being filmed?

Showrunner Mike White announced Asia as the setting for the next installment of his award-winning hit series soon after the season 2 finale in the fall of 2022. Now, in addition to first information about the cast (including Parker Posey, Michelle Monaghan, Jason Isaacs and Natasha Rothwell, who will reprise her role as spa manager Belinda from season 1), details about the filming location have also come to light. Season 3 of "The White Lotus" is set to start filming in Thailand soon, in Koh Samui to be precise. The dreamy Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui will serve as the Thai "White Lotus" this time around.

Little is currently known about the plot of the third season, except that Natasha Rothwell will reprise her role as spa manager Belinda from season 1, just like audience favorite Jennifer Coolidge did in season 2. A premiere date has yet to be announced, but we can expect to see the next season on our screens towards the end of the year.
