The White Lotus Season 3 Given the Green Light

HBO has given the green light to The White Lotus Season 3, which will continue the Emmy-winning anthology series from Mike White. The White Lotus Season 3 will follow a new group of guests at another White Lotus property.

The first installment, which premiered July 2021 and was set in Hawaii, received 20 Emmy nominations across 13 categories and ten wins, the most wins of any program that year, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series.

“Reflecting on The White Lotus’ humble, run-and-gun origin as a contained pandemic production, it’s impossible not to be awestruck by how Mike orchestrated one of the buzziest and most critically acclaimed shows,” says Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films.

“And yet, he’s only continued to reach new heights in season 2, which is the ultimate testament to Mike’s raw, unparalleled vision.

Orsi continued: “His courage to explore the uncharted waters of the human psyche, paired with his signature irreverent humor and buoyant directing style, have us all dreaming of more vacation days at the resort we’ve come to adore.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to get the chance to collaborate on a third season together.”

Creator, writer and director Mike White added: “There’s no place I’d rather work than HBO and there’s no people I’d rather partner with than Casey Bloys, Francesca Orsi, Nora Skinner and their incredible team.

“I feel so lucky to get this opportunity again and am excited to reunite with my amazingly talented collaborators on The White Lotus.”

Called “fresh and provocative” by TIME, the second installment of The White Lotus has garnered strong critical praise for the “outstanding” cast (TV Guide) and “intoxicating allure” (CNN).

The executive producers of the series are Mike White, David Bernad and Mark Kamine.
