From there, the episode dials back a week, as the season’s principal players arrive to their modern Fantasy Island-like resort. Just as before, “White Lotus” mastermind Mike White introduces a bevy of new characters, and while they all seem easy to read at first, make no mistake – there’s definitely more lurking underneath here.

Season 3 of 'The White Lotus' unfolds with Tanya McQuoid's storyline ending and Greg's surprise return to Thailand. Characters like Belinda add intrigue, raising questions about Tanya's death. New faces and a global setting promise excitement in the ongoing saga.
