The article discusses the new season of The White Lotus, set in Thailand, highlighting the show's evolution in artistic references and thematic depths. It describes the revamped credits sequence, created by Cristobal Tapia de Veer, which continues the series' tradition of pairing stunning visuals with an eclectic soundtrack. The visuals now reference Buddhist altar pieces, mirroring the seasonal transitions from Hawaii's oceanic themes to Sicily's artistic frescoes. The article underscores the series' commentary on Western fascination with Eastern cultures, setting the stage for another thought-provoking season filled with anticipation.
Back in season one when The White Lotus took place in Hawaii, we got images of oceanic flora-and-fauna wallpaper that started to bleed. In season two, when Mike White's series decamped to Sicily, the credits riffed on Italian frescoes that got increasingly debauched - with a beat drop from opera to EDM.
White loves himself some arts décoratifs, so we're still in the mode of wall painting, this time referencing Buddhist altar pieces. As in the first two seasons, the credits begin with relatively idyllic details before ramping up to more elaborate set pieces.
