On Monday, The White Lotus dropped its official teaser for the highly anticipated third season. The show returns on Feb. 16 on Max, and Season 3 looks to be just as high-stakes, glamorous, and suspenseful as the past two seasons more than proved themselves to be.
This whodunnit series — about the lives of staff and guests at a fictional and fancy resort chain called The White Lotus, with locations across the globe — has mastered the art of keeping the mystery alive all season long. As such, the Season 3 trailer doesn’t tell us much about what’s in store this time, but it does offer a teaser.
So, here’s everything that we gleaned from the video, though take much of it with a grain of salt for now:
1.
The season is set in Thailand.
2.
We’ve got the signature welcome wave from the White Lotus staff.
3.
Blackpink’s Lisa, billed in the series by her real name Lalisa Manobal, plays Mook, a health mentor at the resort.
4.
We got a glimpse at other staff members standing behind Mook.
6.
There might be a connection between Belinda and a staff member.
8.
Apparently, Chelsea faces a near-death experience.
9.
Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sam Nivola, and Sarah Catherine Hook play the Ratliffs.
10.
Someone, apparently, steals Victoria’s Lorazepam.
11.
Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb, and Michelle Monaghan’s characters on a girls’ trip.
12.
The best friends may not exactly be seeing eye-to-eye these days.
14.
…a mysterious gun…
15.
…what looks to be a robbery…
16.
…and, of course, a dead body.
17.
Several images evoke spirituality and religion, which aligns with the season’s apparent themes of health and wellness.
18.
Finally, a monk seems to give the most significant indication of what’s in store this season.
