LOS ANGELES – The upcoming third installment of Mike White’s anthology series “The White Lotus” has finalized its major cast additions. Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Sam Nivola are set to join the ensemble cast. They will be joining previously announced cast members Leslie Bibb, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, and others.
The third season of “The White Lotus” will be set in Thailand and is scheduled to begin filming in February. The new season will follow a new group of guests at another White Lotus property. While no character details have been revealed, the guests are said to include a patriarch, a female corporate executive, an actress, mothers, a misfit, and a yogi.
The addition of Goggins and Coon to the cast is notable as they both have ongoing projects with HBO. Goggins stars in “The Righteous Gemstones” while Coon stars in “The Gilded Age.” The production schedule of “The White Lotus” allows them to fit the filming dates of their respective shows.
Schwarzenegger, who previously starred in the HBO/Max limited series “The Staircase,” will reunite with the network for “The White Lotus.” Hook is believed to be playing the misfit character, while Schwarzenegger’s character is said to be involved in finance.
The first season of “The White Lotus,” set in Hawaii, received critical acclaim and multiple Emmy nominations in 2021. The second season, set in Sicily, continued the success and received 23 Emmy nominations in 2022. The series, created, written, and directed by Mike White, explores dark themes and features an ensemble cast.
Due to strike-related delays, the third season, originally targeted for 2024, will now air in 2025. HBO has partnered with the Tourism Authority of Thailand for the filming and promotion of the new season. White has teased that the third season will delve into “death in Eastern religion and spirituality” and promises a longer and crazier installment than before.
“The White Lotus” is executive produced by Mike White, David Bernad, and Mark Kamine. The cast additions of Goggins, Wood, Schwarzenegger, Hook, and Nivola bring even more talent to the successful anthology series.
