The White Lotus is back, and we couldn't be more excited.
The critically-acclaimed TV series that goes deep on the very worst of human nature, particularly those who are rich and privileged, is back for a third instalment. Previous seasons have seen the star-studded likes of Jennifer Coolidge, Meghann Fahy, Leo Woodall, Sydney Sweeney, Tom Hollander and many, many more.
But what about this season? Fear not, the third season is just as jam-packed with Hollywood talent, from Aimee Lou Wood and the return of Natasha Rothwell (who starred in season one) to British screen legend Jason Isaacs, along with a much anticipated appearance from Blackpink's Lisa.
Here's a rundown of The White Lotus season 3 cast, their characters and where you might have seen them before.
Meet The White Lotus season 3 cast
Natasha Rothwell

Who does she play? Belinda Lindsey
Belinda was a key character in the first season, where she worked as a spa manager at the Maui location. She forged a friendship with Jennifer Coolidge's character Tanya, but was ultimately let down by her after Tanya promised to set up a business with her and then left her high and dry. Now, she returns to the Thailand White Lotus location as a guest.
“I think this season Belinda is more empowered,” Natasha told GLAMOUR in a recent interview. “I think we also see her as a guest at The White Lotus, and I think that so much of her introduction to that world was through hospitality. And so we get to see her as a person outside of the work mask, and we get to see her unmask in that way, which is really cool.”
Previous roles in: Insecure, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Love, Victor

Who does she play? Chelsea, who is on holiday with her boyfriend Rick. Their relationship seems to be somewhat toxic, but she believes that they are fated to be together.
Aimee opened up to GLAMOUR about why she wanted a role in The White Lotus so badly, basically because like all of us, she's a fan. “I loved the first two seasons so much and I wanted to be in it,” she said. "I'm not a very intentional person in life. I'm quite a passenger. I've realised I need to change that. I go with the flow quite a lot. But one of the only things I've ever said I really wanted was to be in The White Lotus, but I didn't know how I would fit. I was looking at it and I was like, "I don't know where I would fit in this world." And then I got my audition through for Chelsea and I was like, "Oh my gosh."
