Murder, mystery and mayhem; if the first official full-length trailer for The White Lotus' third season is to be believed, there'll be plenty of each in the hotly-anticipated upcoming series.
The third season, which, according to The White Lotus' creator Mike White, is a 'satirical and funny look at death and eastern religion and spirituality,' is set in Thailand and stars an almost entirely new ensemble cast, including Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Tayme Thapthimthong, Blackpink's Lisa and Aimee Lou Wood, to name just a few. Natasha Rothwell, who played spa manager Belinda in the inaugural series of the hit show, is the only cast member known to be returning to The White Lotus' third season.

The trailer not only begins with shots being fired (naturally, this being The White Lotus and all), a concierge at the 'best in the world' hotel' can then be heard ominously saying, 'At the end of the week you'll be an entirely different person.'
'What happens in Thailand stays in Thailand,' says one guest later in the trailer, setting the scene for more of the mysterious murderous exploits of the first two seasons of the show, the first of which was a satirical look at money and the second which focused on sex.
'The social satire is set at an exclusive Thai resort and follows the exploits of various guests and employees over the span of a week,' reads the official logline of the show, which has already been commissioned for a fourth season.
The White Lotus season three will premiere on February 16 on HBO, and will be available to stream on Now TV.
