PRODUCERS of White Lotus previously teased that season three of The White Lotus was hinted to take place somewhere in Asia, and we now know a bit more about the location of the upcoming hit series.
Per a new Variety report, Mike White's HBO black comedy will go to Thailand in Season 3.
According to insiders, White has been in Thailand scouting locations for the next season. Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Koh Samui, and the Golden Triangle are all possible venues.
Thailand's Four Seasons properties are situated across the country, providing White with a variety of locations to select from and where past seasons of The White Lotus have taken place.
Last year, White hinted at what Season 3 of his hit series might look like. “The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex,” the showrunner said.
“I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality. It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.”
Since its debut in 2021, The White Lotus has been a force in the Limited Series category.
Its first season received five Emmy nominations, including one for Outstanding Limited Series, while its second season received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Limited or Anthology Series or Television Film.
Jennifer Coolidge won Best Supporting Actress at the Emmys and the Golden Globes for her portrayal of Tanya McQuoid.
Production on Season 3 has yet to begin, as sources say White has been spending time in Thailand scoping out sites.
Casting details have yet to be announced, but as Season 2 featured a primarily new ensemble, it’s safe to assume there will be plenty of fresh faces on vacation in Asia. – The Vibes, March 28, 2023
