What can fans expect from The White Lotus season 3?

Fans of The White Lotus can anticipate season 3 of the show to continue its tradition of exploring dark themes with a satirical touch. With the addition of new cast members, season three is expected to introduce a new group of guests.

In a conversation with Jeremy Allen White as part of Variety's Actors on Actors video series, Jennifer Coolidge, who played Tanya, hinted at possible storylines involving her character despite Tanya's demise in season two.

Furthermore, Creator Mike White has suggested in an interview with Variety that the storyline will possibly explore the aftermath of Tanya's death and its implications for other characters.

“I think as far as what happens to Greg and the conspiracy of Tanya's death, it's possible that I think Portia is scared enough to just leave it alone, but the fact that all of those guys die on the boat, it feels like there's gotta be somebody who's gonna track it down to Greg. But maybe you'll have to wait to find out what happens,” White told Variety.
