It’s almost time to enter the White Lotus hotel once more: the third season of Mike White’s brutally brilliant satire is heading to TV sets this February and the hype is building.
Set this time in Thailand, the show is set to explore the complicated lives of an entirely new cast of wealthy guests – and rest assured there looks to be just as much drama, infighting and awkward tension as previous seasons.
But when’s it on in the UK, and how can you watch?
When is it on?
The show officially premieres on Sunday February 16 at 9pm EST in the US.
That’s on HBO, but in the UK, you’ll need a NOW TV or Sky subscription to watch the episode.
You can watch it live (that’ll be a 2am wakeup call on Monday Feb 17) as it airs on Sky Atlantic, or after it’s aired, via the streaming service’s playback option.
After that, every episode will release at 2AM every Monday.
And of course, the other two seasons of the show are already there, waiting to be binged as well.
What’s it about?
Like in previous seasons, The White Lotus S3 follows a group of holidaymakers at a branch of a prestigious international hotel chain – as well as the staff who cater to their every whims. And while the plotlines haven’t been divulged yet, we do know more about the characters.
Who’s starring?
There will be a familiar face in the form of masseuse Belinda (who popped up in the first season as the therapist-slash-confidante of Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya).
The reason she’s back is unclear, but she’ll be joined by new faces, including Jason Isaacs and Parker Posey as the parents of an incredibly dysfunctional family, Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood as a mysterious traveller and his chirpy girlfriend, and Lalisa Manobal – aka Lisa from K-pop group Blackpink – as Mook, one of the resort staff.
