The third installment of the hit HBO anthology series is also set to star Natasha Rothwell, who played spa manager Belinda Lindsey in season 1. She told PEOPLE that "people are going to be very pleased" by the season's plotline.

"I've just finished the season 3 scripts, and I'm going to have to say White Lotus is going to give you a run for your money," she said.

On Jan. 5, HBO announced the first slate of stars who will be appearing in the show, including Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey and Tayme Thapthimthong.

Production is set to begin on the series in Thailand in February, and while no plot details have yet been released White has teased that he’s interested in exploring some of the season 2 characters’ stories further.

"Who knows, maybe there'll be another White Lotus season where Dominic comes with his wife and they patch it all up!" he teased to Esquire of Michael Imperioli’s character.

He also hinted at a possible continuation of Jon Gries' Greg Hunt and Haley Lu Richardson's Portia since season 2's final scenes left a lot of questions unanswered.

"I think as far as like, what happens to Greg and the conspiracy of Tanya's [Jennifer Coolidge] death, it's possible that I think Portia is scared enough to just leave it alone," White told Esquire. "But maybe you'll have to wait to find out what happens."
