While you don’t need to see seasons 1 and 2 of “The White Lotus” to understand and enjoy the upcoming third season, each chapter of the anthology series is worth the watch. The three seasons’ plots are only loosely connected, but they each feature deliciously dark comedy, sharp social commentary, and a mysterious death.

HBO announced that Season 3 of "The White Lotus" will premiere on Feb. 16, 2025. Unlike the first two seasons, which had six and seven episodes each, respectively, the third season has eight episodes, meaning the finale episode is set to air on April 6, 2025.

HBO has not announced a production start date for Season 4, but fans will have plenty of “White Lotus” to tide them over while they wait. In the same interview, White explained that the upcoming Season 3 will satirize death and spirituality in the same way that previous seasons tackled wealth and love.

While Coolidge won’t be back for season 3, another season 1 alum will be. Natasha Rothwell is the sole returning “White Lotus” cast member in season 3. She’ll reprise her role as spa manager Belinda, whom Tanya strung along with promises of investing in her business.

HBO has renewed "The White Lotus" for a fourth season ahead of its third season premiere (on Sunday, February 16).

HBO is filling up its frequent traveler card to The White Lotus. Four weeks ahead of the show’s third season premiere, HBO has renewed The White Lotus for a fourth installment. The Thailand-set season three is set to debut Feb. 16, two-plus years after season two.

The White Lotus' can bring together a hell of an ensemble. See who's gathering at the resort for its Thailand-set third season — and why they look so familiar.
