Many of the characters this season seem like they’re trying to escape something, as many White Lotus characters do. But as some of them may soon realize, death comes for us all, whether we’re ready for it or not.
But with death often comes rebirth. “At the end of the week, you will be an entirely different person,” says the voice at the beginning of the trailer. If this season really is diving into ideas of Eastern religion and spirituality in relation to death, we might be seeing more than just death in the literal sense. We could also see the death of ideas, behaviors, or other elements of these characters’ pasts as they are reborn from their experiences at the White Lotus – both good, bad, and everything in between.
That being said, we know that there’s going to be at least one body this season based on the trailer and previous seasons of the show. This season’s cast is stacked, and we cannot wait to get to know these characters, no matter how long they might last. It’ll certainly be entertaining to see who will and won’t survive this season of The White Lotus.
The White Lotus season 3 premieres Sunday, February 16 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
