After a two-year break, the show finally returned in February 2025.

“I do feel like the other seasons were a rehearsal for this one,” he said.

“There’s stuff that I’ve never directed before.”

Going big includes a larger cast, too, full of faces both familiar and new.

Fear not we’ve got a guide for you below.

Natasha Rothwell as Belinda in The White Lotus: Season 1

This time around, Rothwell promisedTimethat we’d get to learn more about who Belinda is as a person.

“This kind of work trip treads that line of professional and personal,” Rothwell explained.

Jason Isaacs confessed toPeoplethat he was unfamiliar with the first two seasons when he auditioned.

Jason Isaacs in Harry Potter

“I watched all of them in like a day and a half.

“And then I was a fan, but by then I think I had the job.”

Film roles include “The Patriot,” “Mass,” and “Fury.”

Parker Posey in Dazed and Confused

“I wanted to bring like a snotty affect,” she said.

“It was so fun to play.

It’s the theatricality of Southerners.

Patrick Schwarzenegger in Midnight Sun

In fact, he seems pretty obsessed with sex even the sex lives of his two younger siblings.

We’ll say it again: uh oh!

And they thought that was really funny and weird and cool.”

Michelle Monaghan in Mission Impossible

In real life,Schwarzenegger has had quite the star-studded relationship history.

And as his last name suggests, he is the son of who else?

Just how long can all that resentment simmer before it boils over?

Carrie Coon in The Leftovers

Knowing this show, we’re guessing: not long!

“This is a literal dream job.

Unfortunately, Laurie’s pretty miserable.

Aimee Lou Wood in Sex Education

Like her character, Coon looked to “The White Lotus” as a break from her normal life.

Now, watching it back, she sees the work that went into that time in her life.

“Every scene is fraught with the … duress under which it was filmed,” she said.

Walton Goggins in Fallout

“It’s a shockingly emotional experience.”

After all, as she explained toElle, she went from playing a high schooler to playing young moms.

Now, she gets a chance to expand her range.

Sam Nivola in The Perfect Couple

“I am not the same person as I was pre-‘White Lotus.’

I had a lot of reckonings out there,” she said.

“I realized how important my anchors are in life.”

Leslie Bibb in Palm Royale

She also appeared in a film called “Seize Them!”

At least, that’s what Goggins seems to suggest in an interview withTime.

“I read all eight scripts in a day.

Lisa of BLACKPINK performing

“I didn’t anticipate where it was going.

And by the end of it, I was gutted in such a visceral way.

I use that word specifically.

Sarah Catherine Hook in Monsterland

It’s an emotional wrench.”

“He just wants an ocean of love,” he said.

2,” “The Midnight Meat Train,” and “The Babysitter.”

Nicholas Duvernay in Purple Hearts

She’s Lalisa Manobal, better known by the mononym Lisa, a member of the KPOP sensation BLACKPINK.

Lisa hadn’t acted before, and she toldThe Hollywood Reporterthat she was initially intimidated.

“I was really nervous on set, to be honest,” she said.

“I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to expect.

Everything is so new.”

Thankfully, it all worked out.

“I really had fun,” she insisted.

“It’s like a break.”

But I don’t think she’s ever been laid before.”

Hook joked toScreenRant, “I’ve still got the ick.”

That’s where her character’s budding interest in Buddhism comes in.

If you recognize Hook, you’re likely a horror fan.

Who’s dead, you ask?

This is “The White Lotus!”

We’ll likely find out in the finale.

While speaking withEsquire, Duvernay remained tight-lipped about what fans can expect from his role in the show.
