‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 Premiere Date and Plot Lines Revealed
It’s nearly time for check in.
Over two years since its confirmation, the next season of The White Lotus has finally set its release date for Feb. 16, 2025—and teased what is to come for the Thailand-based storyline of the Emmy-winning series.
In a new trailer released Dec. 16, the cast, which includes Natasha Rothwell returning as her season one character Belinda Lindsey, as well as Patrick Schwarzenegger, Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood, and more, share their thoughts through voiceover on the luxurious resort, while staff, including Blackpink’s Lisa, welcome them.
“I’m on an exchange program,” Natasha, who appears to have swapped her role as a White Lotus resort staff member for a guest, says in the teaser. “I’m starting to feel like something good is going to come out of this.”
Meanwhile, Walton and Aimee’s characters, who play a May-December couple, are not on the same page when it comes to the resort’s offerings.
“Stress management meditation?” Aimee’s character reads from a pamphlet to Walton’s character. “Yeah, you need this.”
Later, Walton’s character expresses disdain for the resort’s cuisine, saying, “Gluten free rice and coconut balls? What, are we at a f--king fat farm?”
Elsewhere in the trailer, a monk who seems to work at the Thailand resort sums up the overarching theme of the White Lotus series as a whole.
“Everyone runs from pain toward pleasure,” he says. “But they get there, only to find more pain.”
And the upcoming season’s guests—which also include Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb and Michelle Monaghan—also prove that the White Lotus is certainly not where one should go to find pleasure at all.

As Michelle’s character says at one point, “What the f--k is this place?”
But Aimee’s character then goes on to deliver the trailer’s most jaw-dropping line in a perfectly subtle tone.
“I almost died today,” she says. “But we got the room comp’ed didn’t we babe? So that was cool.
To which Walton’s character replies, “Yeah, you did a great job, babe.”
