Season three of HBO's The White Lotus, premiering February 16, 2024, follows wealthy guests at a luxury wellness retreat in Thailand, opening with a violent murder mystery. This season introduces the Ratliff family and three female friends reuniting, resonating with themes of artificiality and spiritual facades, despite some critics noting a decline in sharpness compared to previous seasons. New characters include hotel staff led by the returning Belinda, whose renewed role highlights the juxtaposition between the affluent guests and the less privileged staff. Creator Mike White navigates social satire, promising an engaging eight-episode adventure filled with luxury and tension.
