The third season of The White Lotus brings viewers to a luxury resort in Thailand, continuing the show's trend of tackling provocative themes. Creator Mike White aims to satirically explore death and eastern spirituality this season, a departure from the previous seasons' focuses on wealth and sexuality. The decision for Thailand was influenced by a lucrative production tax rebate and logistical considerations, as Japan was initially considered. White's plot inspiration came during a fever dream after a bronchitis hospitalization, making this season notably expansive and expensive, stirring public excitement.
Initially, Japan was a frontrunner for The White Lotus season three, but HBO talked Mike White out of it due to strict filming restrictions and red tape.
Creator Mike White emphasized that this season would offer a satirical and humorous exploration of death, eastern religion, and spirituality, marking a thematic departure.
