Apart from its dark humor and various twists, The White Lotus is also known for its impressive cast. The HBO comedy-drama is an anthology series, and hence, features a new ensemble every season.

Season 1 of the show starred the likes of Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario, and Sydney Sweeney. Coolidge then returned for season 2 and was joined by Theo James, Aubrey Plaza, Meghann Fahy, Will Sharpe, and Adam DiMarco.

Now that The White Lotus is returning with season 3, a fresh set of guests is set to arrive at a luxury hotel in Thailand. The show has some exciting additions to the cast in the new season, including BLACKPINK member Lisa.

Only one cast member from the earlier installments will be reprising her role in The White Lotus Season 3: Natasha Rothwell. The actress was seen as Belinda Lindsey in season 1. Belinda is a spa manager who wanted to establish her own business, and it looks like she has finally gotten the opportunity.

Rothwell opened up about returning to the show in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and said:

“When [creator] Mike White was finishing up season two, he asked to grab dinner with me. I thought nothing of it. But he was already thinking about season three and wanting to explore her more. I told him I’d follow him anywhere, and I meant it. I didn’t know where the shoot or the storyline were, it was just a yes.”

Rothwell follows in the footsteps of Jennifer Coolidge, who was the only cast member to appear in both the first two seasons of the show as Tanya McQuoid.

The White Lotus Season 3 will premiere on HBO in 2025, but the exact release date is yet to be announced.
