The teaser for The White Lotus Season three dropped and it delivers the usual traits that we love about the series. Immediately, we get clueless foreigners trying to find meaning in their lives as they live out their days at the titular resort set against an exotic opulent setting. Also, things unravel and then... A MURDER. Just another week at the White Lotus.

Originally meant to be set in Japan, Thailand wooed The White Lotus creator and writer, Mike White, to their sunny shores. Filmed at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui and Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, we get a new cast and one familiar face for this season: Natasha Rothwell reprises her role as Belinda Lindsey, whom we last saw in season one.

Among the new cast, we see Blackpink's Lisa as part of the resort staff; Walton Goggins (looking better than his last show) and Aimee Lou Wood are a May-December couple; Jason Issac and Parker Posey are the uppity Ratliffs with their children in tow and Carri Coon, Leslie Bibb and Michelle Monaghan—a trio of besties—having a girls' night that's gone kinda debauched.

With Thailand's serene beauty and postcard-worthy visuals and that undercurrent of dread, the show doesn't stray too far from its formula.

But that's what we thought in the last season and White pulled the rug off under us in that finale.

The White Lotus season three debuts Monday, 17 February on Max and will be available on HBO
