More from Deadline

Season 3, slated to begin filming in and around Koh Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok in February, will follow a new group of guests at another White Lotus property.

“It’s going to be a supersized White Lotus,” White said of Season 3 back in November. “It’s going to be longer, bigger, crazier. I don’t know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing.”

As usual, no character details about the guests are shared but as Deadline reported in November, the multi-generational group includes a patriarch, a female corporate executive, an actress, a couple of mothers, including a country club wife, a misfit and a yogi.

Bikovic is believed to be playing the jogi, a Life Enhancement Mentor at the hotel and an energy healer.

On the filming and promotion of the third installment, HBO has partnered with the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

The first season of The White Lotus, which premiered July 2021 and was set in Hawaii, received 20 Emmy nominations across 13 categories and won ten trophies, the most wins of any program that year, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. The Sicily-set second installment, which premiered in December 2022, garnered 23 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series.

It won four trophies at the Creative Arts, including the influential Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series category, which sometimes predicts the top series Emmy winners.

Created, written and directed by White, HBO’s The White Lotus is executive produced by White, David Bernad and Mark Kamine.

Bikovic is repped by Chris Prapha and Deanna Russo Clark at Artist International Group and Marina Leonova at SV Casting in Russia. Friedel is repped by UTA, United Agents and Players Agentur Management. O’Reilly is repped by Link Entertainment and Johnson & Laird Management. Peiris is repped by Insight Management & Production.
