Mike White and his revolving cast of characters are heading to Asia for the third season of The White Lotus.
Deadline has confirmed that the HBO series, first set in Maui and then in Sicily, is now headed to Thailand.
Exec producer David Bernad told Deadline last month,
We’ve tried to work in Asia a lot and hopefully season three will be our chance to make something happen there.”
White also teased the idea in a video posted at the end of season two,
The first season we highlighted money and then the second season is sex and I think the third season, it would be maybe a kind of satirical and funny look at death in Eastern religion and spirituality — it feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.”
The first two seasons of the show were shot at Four Seasons hotels. There are four in Thailand;
- Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle
- Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai
- Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
- Four Seasons Bangkok
But rumor has it that White hasn’t chosen the specific location yet, but I’m betting on the Four Season Koh Samui.
