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.

The second episode will premiere on Sunday, Feb. 23, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on Max. New episodes will air every Sunday after that until the finale on April 6. Here's the full release schedule:

Season 1 brought viewers to the White Lotus luxury resort in Hawaii, followed by Season 2 in Italy. Season 3 explores the tropical Thailand island of Ko Samui, starting Feb. 16 (HBO 9 EST/PST, and streaming on Max).

Those checking in to Season 3 of Max's The White Lotus will enjoy an eight-episode stay across eight Sundays. The luxurious hotel drama series returns for another installment - it's longest yet, and this time set in Thailand - mid-February.

From Sex Education's Aimee Lou Wood, to Lisa, and the return of season one's Natasha Rothwell, it's a stacked cast, and this is everything you need to know about the cast and the characters they play in the new season.
