Fantasy became reality when Murray Bartlett touched down at the Sundance Film Festival.

“I’m super excited because it’s all new and I’ve always fantasized about being here,” the veteran star told The Hollywood Reporter while standing on the red carpet last month inside Park City’s Eccles Center Theatre where he joined co-stars John Malkovich, Ayo Edebiri, Juliette Lewis, Stephanie Suganami and Tatanka Means at the world premiere of festival entry Opus from filmmaker Mark Anthony Green and A24.

Opus follows Ariel, a young writer (Edebiri), who receives a surprise invitation to join a group of journalists and media personalities in making the trek to the compound of a global pop superstar, Alfred Moretti (Malkovich), who has resurfaced after a 30 year disappearance. When the group arrives, they soon realize that Moretti is a figure of obsession for those around him and there are nefarious plans in place.

Vacation extended!

“The White Lotus” Season 4 has officially been greenlit by HBO, with production eyed for 2026.

It is unclear where the fourth season will take place, or whether any cast members will return. But creator-showrunner Mike White has already pitched ideas to Casey Bloys, the HBO and Max chief revealed in November.

The early renewal comes a few weeks before the Feb. 16 premiere of Season 3, which takes the Emmy-winning ensemble dramedy to Thailand. Natasha Rothwell, who played the spa manager Belinda Lindsey in the Hawaii-set Season 1, is the only returning cast member this time around, after Jennifer Coolidge reprised her role as Tanya McQuoid in the second season.

Both seasons so far have followed groups of troubled vacationers who unleash their worst, most privileged impulses at the idyllic White Lotus resort, as their exploits intersect with hotel staff members. Both seasons also featured a mysterious death.

With a new year comes a fresh slate of HBO shows, from long-anticipated returning favorites like “The White Lotus” and “The Last of Us” to new series, from Noah Wyle’s next medical drama to Rachel Sennott’s comedy show.

At the beginning of 2025, HBO will debut “The Pitt,” which centers on a Pittsburgh hospital, while Mike White’s anthology series returns with a new group of tourists in Thailand and one familiar face with “The White Lotus” Season 3. The rest of the year is jam-packed with highly anticipated series, including “The Last of Us” Season 2, “It: Welcome to Derry,” “Game of Thrones” spinoff series “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” “Peacemaker” Season 2 and “Hacks” Season 4, among many others.

One notable series that won’t make it to HBO in 2025 is “Euphoria” Season 3, which is now slated for a 2026 release after delays pushed production to begin in January 2025.

Keep on...

Even the cast of The White Lotus were on the edge of their seat as the show’s highly-anticipated third season unfolded on set. Natasha Rothwell, who will reprise her role as Belinda from season one when the anthology series returns in February, couldn’t believe what she was seeing as she was on set watching it happen.

“I would be on set, even when it wasn’t my day shooting, just to watch the magic unfold,” Rothwell recently told Entertainment Weekly. “And I would be gagged — as if I...

The White Lotus season three is looking for love in Thailand.

The highly anticipated return of Mike White’s HBO drama series has been revealed with the first trailer. The Thailand-set season will release starting Feb. 16 at 9 p.m. on HBO, available to stream on Max.

“Seeking peace can be a trip,” said HBO when dropping the teaser trailer, which also says in voiceover, “Everyone runs from pain towards pleasure. But they get there only to find more pain.”

The first season of The White Lotus highlighted money and the second season highlighted sex. Plot details for season three are purposefully being kept in White’s vault, but the creator has said the third season will be a “satirical and funny look at death and eastern religion and spirituality.”

Here’s the brief logline: “The social satire is set at an exclusive Thai resort and follows the exploits of various...

Reprising her role as spa manager Belinda Lindsey, Rothwell is the only returning cast member in the third season. Jennifer Coolidge was the only vacationer from the Hawaii-set Season 1 to return for the second season in Sicily — and she won an Emmy for both performances.

The sprawling cast of “The White Lotus” Season 3 also includes Parker Posey, Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Tayme Thapthimthong, Christian Friedel, Julian Kostov, Morgana O’Reilly, Lek Patravadi, Shalini Peiris, Carrie Coon, Scott Glenn, Francesca Corney, Nicholas Duvernay, Arnas Fedaravičius, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aimee Lou Wood, Sarah Catherine Hook, Sam Nivola and Blackpink member Lisa.

Prepare for more luxurious chaos, because the first trailer for “The White Lotus” Season 3 has arrived. The upcoming installment will premiere on HBO February 16, and this time around, all of the intrigue, drama and privileged complaining is happening in Thailand.

One of the first characters highlighted in this initial look isn’t a guest, but Natasha Rothwell’s hardworking masseuse, Belinda, who is at this resort as part of an exchange program. “I’m starting to feel like something good is going to come out of this,” Belinda says in the teaser.

And if that’s not an ominous warning, welcome to television. It’s pretty fun.

Leo Woodall won’t forget his time on set of The White Lotus season two anytime soon. The actor said this week his experience on the show felt like “one big holiday.”

“It was one of those shows where, because there were so many characters and so many storylines, there were so many days off,” Woodall told People, adding that the free time meant he and his co-stars spent a lot of time vacationing together.

Woodall played Jack in The White Lotus season two, a British boy who flirted with Haley Lu Richardson’s Portia and assisted his non-biological uncle Quentin (Tom Hollander) in a plan to murder Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya. The second season of Mike White’s anthology show took place at a resort in Sicily, where the cast lived for several weeks during filming in 2022.

“It does feel like a world away now,” Woodall said of his time in Italy.

Jennifer Coolidge says it’s hard not to be jealous of The White Lotus season three casting news.

“I’m jealous of everyone that’s going. I just want to stress I’m not a good sport about it, but there’s nothing I can do,” she told Today this week.

Coolidge’s fan-favorite White Lotus character, Tanya, was also one of the only characters to appear in both seasons one and two, and won Emmys for both performances. Unfortunately, Tanya met a tragic demise at the end of season two.

“When they kill you, you have to accept it,” she continued. “Because it means they’re not calling for your costume sizes or anything. It’s over! I have to get another thing. I have to make another thing happen, I guess.”

Actor Julian Kostov is joining HBO’s The White Lotus, replacing Miloš Biković in the show’s cast.

Kostov (Shadow and Bone) will recur in the show’s third season, which is set to begin filming in Thailand this month. He joins the cast after HBO “decided to part ways” with Biković, following public criticism from Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs over Biković’s seeming support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In a Jan. 24 social media post, the ministry wrote, “HBO, is it all right for you to work with a person who supports genocide & violates international law?” over a video clip of statements Biković has made about Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea. The Serbia-born actor has worked in Russia for the past decade; he received an award from Russian leader Vladimir Putin in 2018 and became a Russian citizen in 2021.

“I was honored to be chosen to...

“The White Lotus” Season 3 has added Julian Kostov to its cast.

Kostov will appear in a recurring role in the HBO series that was previously held by Miloš Biković. Biković was recently cut from the series, however, over his support of Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin in the country’s war against Ukraine.

“Today, a targeted campaign has been unleashed against me, seemingly as an external maneuver to influence decisions that can create a disturbing precedent shadowing the essence of artistic freedom,” Biković previously said in a statement. “The result of such a narrative is the triumph of absurdity and the defeat of art.”

Kostov joins previously announced Season 3 cast members: Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, Tayme Thapthimthong, Christian Friedel, Morgana O’Reilly, Lek Patravadi, Shalini Peiris, Carrie Coon, Francesca Corney, Nicholas Duvernay, Arnas Fedaravičius, Natasha Rothwell, Walton Goggins, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aimee Lou Wood, Sarah Catherine Hook,...

Created, written and directed by White, The White Lotus is executive produced by White, David Bernad and Mark Kamine.

The highly anticipated third season of The White Lotus is causing political controversy due to the casting of Serbian actor Miloš Bikovi, who supports the Russian invasion. Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses disappointment in HBO on Twitter for working with someone who supports genocide and violates international law. The new season of The White Lotus will also feature other new faces such as Francesca Corney, Nicholas Duvernay, and Arnas Fedaraviius, along with the return of Natasha Rothwell.

After thanking creator Mike White, she gave a shout-out to “all the evil gays” before getting the boot by Anthony Anderson’s mother. (At the last Emmys, the...

The creator of Apple TV+'s new drama, The Buccaneers, acknowledges the valid and inevitable comparisons to Bridgerton. The development of The Buccaneers began before Bridgerton was released, per creator Katherine Jakeways, emphasizing that it was not an attempt to replicate its success. The modernization of period dramas, blending classical settings with modern sensibilities, is a common approach seen in recent years and aligns with Edith Wharton's style in The Buccaneers.

The creator of the new Apple TV+ drama, The Buccaneers, addresses comparisons to Bridgerton. There has been an uptick in period dramas that blend the old with the new, revisiting classical settings and styles with modern sensibilities and even occasionally contemporary needle drops. Hulu's The Great comes to mind, as do HBO dramas The Nevers and The Gilded Age and fellow Apple TV+ drama Dickinson. Based on Edith Wharton's novel, The Buccaneers is the latest example of the subgenre.
