HBO has shared a teaser for The White Lotus season three, including a first look at Natasha Rothwell’s returning character Belinda.
The footage was shared as part of a teaser trailer for upcoming shows from HBO’s streaming service Max. It’s been additionally confirmed that season three will hit screens in 2025.
Spa manager Belinda – who appears in the first season of The White Lotus – is seen decked out in a floral dress, removing her sunglasses as she enters the lobby of a new White Lotus resort in Thailand.

In an additional clip, fans get a first glimpse at new cast members Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sam Nivola and Sarah Catherine Hook arriving at the resort.
The scene then skips to Posey’s character lounging on a sun bed, alongside Leslie Bibb and Michelle Monaghan, declaring: “What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand.”
Character names and further plot details for The White Lotus season three are yet to be revealed.

The White Lotus season one saw Belinda befriended by wealthy hotel guest Tanya McQuoid (Emmy-winning star Jennifer Coolidge) who promises to invest in her own spa practice – only to never come through with the money.
Rothwell hasn’t given away any details about what season three involves for her character’s return – but teased that the next instalment of the show is set to be just as dramatic.
Talking about her initial reaction whilst reading the season three scripts, she told Vanity Fair: “I gasped out loud a minimum of five times and this was just me reading them.
“The scripts are a testament to Mike [White]‘s skill and ability to tell the most smart and entertaining stories. I mean, everything that he does is like a lesson to me as an actor and a performer. And as a writer myself, he takes folks on a journey.
“Everyone needs to buckle up, because it’s going to get real!”
The White Lotus seasons 1-2 are available to stream on Max and NOW. Season three will be released in 2025.
