Everyone is dying to check in at The White Lotus. As fans know all too well, some leave in body bags, but the promise of a lavish travel experience makes it worth the risk.
The White Lotus has gone from a popular television series to a phenomenon with fans seeking to live the extravagance seen on the show.
Though creator Mike White does an incredible job of keeping viewers guessing as to who dies each season, in real life, it’s the lure of these gorgeous resorts and exotic locations that people are looking for.
Season three saw White’s brilliant social satire set at an exclusive Thai resort over a week. He has a way of tapping into the human experience like no one else. He writes, directs, and executive produces every episode. This is unique in Hollywood wherein most shows have a team of writers and directors, but he does it all himself and he’s a genius at it.
Immediately following the first season set in Hawaii, which premiered in July of 2021, the show received 20 Emmy nominations across 13 categories, with ten wins. That was the most wins of any series that year. The second season, set in Italy, which premiered in December of 2022, followed with 23 Emmy nominations and five wins.
This show is life and career-changing for those hired on. Joining the cast has turned lesser-known actors into award-winners and known actors into stars.
This season’s ensemble includes Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Lalisa Manobal, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola, Lek Patravadi, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Tayme Thapthimthong, Aimee Lou Wood, Nicholas Duvernay, Arnas Fedaravičius, Christian Friedel, Scott Glenn, Dom Hetrakul, Julian Kostov, Charlotte Le Bon, Morgana O’Reilly, and Shalini Peiris.
