What is “The White Lotus” Season 3 about?
“The White Lotus” is an anthology series, which means every season tells a new story and features new characters. Each season is located at a different resort owned by the show’s eponymous, fictional luxury hotel chain and follows an ensemble of tourists as their lives threaten to implode throughout their stay. Every season also ends with at least one murder, which is always teased in its first episode.
“The White Lotus” Season 3 is set at a wellness retreat in Thailand, and focuses on the resort’s employees and three separate groups of mostly American tourists whose shared time there is complicated by their own personal, financial and sexual issues.
