Now, The White Lotus season 3 has delivered with the same level of celebrity, and here is where you’ve seen them before they hit your screen on 16 February at 9 pm EST/PST.
Walton Goggins
Walton Goggins is set to star as Rick, a man described as having “a chip on his shoulder” holidaying in Thailand with his much younger girlfriend, Chelsea. His TV career has stretched back since the 90s, boasting credits such as Fall Out, The Shield and The Righteous Gemstones.
Aimee Lou Wood
Aimee Lou is probably best known for playing Aimee in the Netflix series Sex Education, but it could be all to be played for when you see her as ‘free spirit’ Chelsea in the White Lotus, the much younger girlfriend of Goggin’s character.
Leslie Bibb
Leslie Bibb has already made herself a name in projects like Juror #2 and television series such as Jupiter’s Legacy, American Housewife and Crossing Jordan before getting cast as Kate, one of three friends on a girls’ trip.
Carrie Coon
Carrie Coon developed herself a cult following from her work on the other HBO hot property, The Gilded Age but is to get in all sorts of expected mischief as Laurie.
Michelle Monaghan
Playing the third in the friend trio Jaclyn with Kate and Laurie, Michelle Monaghan is an established face in action movies like Mission: Impossible and TV shows like Boston Public and True Detective.
Jason Isaacs
Jason Isaac is most definitely best known as Draco Malfoy’s father, Lucius Malfoy, in the Harry Potter series, but this could all change as he takes on Timothy, an entrepreneur and dad of three, on a family vacation with his wife, Victoria.
Parker Posey
In the 90s, indie film darling Parker Poser has more than 100 film credits under her name, including Dazed and Confused, Josie & The Pussycats, and many Christopher Guest mockumentaries. Her character, Victoria, is the wife of Isaac’s Timothy and the mother of their three kids.
Patrick Schwarzenegger
A member of both the Kennedy dynasty via his mother, Maria Shriver, and son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick Schwarzenegger was always destined to be famous. Patrick’s resume includes Scream Queens, The Staircase and now the role of Saxon, the oldest son of Victoria and Timothy.
Sarah Catherine Hook
Sarah Catherine Hook is a horror darling who has been involved in movies and films like The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and NOS4A2. However, she is breaking out as Piper, the second of Victoria and Timothy’s brood.
Sam Nivola
The White Lotus season 3 has another nepo baby with Sam Nivola, the son of Alessandro Nivola and Emily Mortimer. After appearing in White Noise, The Perfect Couple and Maestro, Sam is taking on the youngest of the three Ratcliff kids.
Natasha Rothwell
Long-term fans of The White Lotus will know Natasha Rothwell from the original season. In the third season, the former hotel spa manager is back, hopefully healed from Tanya McQuoid’s emotional torture. However, the now-guest has solid comedy chops on shows like SNL, A Black Lady Sketch Show and others.
Lek Patravadi
Lek Patravadi got her big break in the 1975 Thai film Grounded God and a followed it up with a few more before getting cast in this HBO smash-hit. In the show, she plays Sritala, one of the hotel’s owners
Lalisa Manobal
If you don’t recognise the name Lalisa Monabal, that is because she shot to global super fame as Lisa, one-fifth of the Kpop girl group Blackpink. The White Lotus season 3 character Mook, a health mentor at the resort, represents her acting debut.
Tayme Thapthimthong
Before getting the gig as security guard Maethi, Tayme Thapthimthong has appeared in the Swedish-Thai crime drama Farang, Thai Cave Rescue, Hooked and others.
