Following the renewal announcement, White said that he was “so lucky to get this opportunity again” and that he was “excited to reunite” with his collaborators.

While details on the plot are thin, the creator did previously say that the focus could be “death and Eastern religion and spirituality”.

He added: “The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex. I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality. It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.”

White also confirmed to EW that it was going to be a “supersized” season.

“It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier,” he said. “I don’t know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing. I’m super excited about the content of the season.”
