From cast members to release date, here’s everything we know about the third season of The White Lotus (so far). WORDS BY ALICE MOREY HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN Once again, we are set to return to The White Lotus resort for the upcoming third season of the scandalous HBO series.
Created by Mike White, the first two seasons of the captivating dramedy, following the interconnected lives of various guests and staff at the titular luxury resort, has received widespread critical acclaim with 14 Primetime Emmy Awards.
The White Lotus has also become a firm favourite of LGBTQIA+ viewers thanks to its queer storylines, from the steamy hook-up between Isabella (Eleanora Romandini) and Mia (Beatrice Grannò) to Murray Bartlett’s high strung manager ‘normalising rimming’ with the help of Lukas Gage.
Jennifer Coolidge also reached a new peak in her career as Tanya McQuoid, who memorably opened fire on a boat of homosexuals before delivering the now-iconic line: “Please, these gays, they’re trying to murder me!” Although McQuoid will not be present (we’re still in mourning), season three will undoubtedly follow another trip of affluent debauchery, the demise of another guest (or guests?) and, hopefully, more queerness.
