It was revealed last year that the third series will be set in Thailand, with production in Koh Samui, Phuket, set to begin very soon.
While the exact plot of the next series hasn't been shared, HBO has confirmed which famous faces are set to star in the next instalment.
Variety has revealed that Law Abiding Citizen star Leslie Bibb is joining the cast, alongside Bangkok-born actor, Dom Hetrakul.
Parker Posey has also been confirmed, in addition to Made of Honor, The Family Plan and Mission: Impossible III favorite, Michelle Monaghan.
But, arguably, one of the biggest names of all to have been revealed to be starring in The White Lotus is Golden Globe nominee and famed Harry Potter star, Jason Isaacs.
Isaacs starred as Lucius Malfoy in the fan favorite franchise.
Elsewhere, Natasha Rothwell - who featured in series one of The White Lotus - is reprising her role of Belinda for the third season.
Production is reported to begin next month, but a release isn't expected until 2025.
While the plot is yet to be confirmed, filmmaker Mark White has teased that the third season with be 'supersized'.
"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," he shared in November, as per Deadline.
As they're filming in Thailand, HBO has partnered with the country's Tourism Authority.
Janet Graham Borba, executive vice president of production for HBO & Max, said: "We are pleased to partner with the Tourism Authority of Thailand to execute Mike’s creative vision and showcase all that the beautiful country of Thailand has to offer, as the next group of guests check in to The White Lotus."
Thapanee Kiatphaibool, governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) added that they're 'honored' that Thailand has been chosen as the upcoming series' filming location.
"The White Lotus project will certainly strengthen the kingdom’s status as a preferred filming destination and a beacon of experience-based tourism, inspiring even more visitors to amazing Thailand," she continued.
