Discover the Vibrant Cast of 'The White Lotus' Season 3

Another luxurious resort brings another round of travelers with troubles in “The White Lotus” Season 3. This time, Mike White unfolds his vacation-themed dramedy on the stunning Thai island of Koh Samui. This season features a more extensive ensemble than before, boasting a series of new characters across eight episodes and moving further from its American roots.

Meet the Southern family, tangled in sibling rivalries, and three middle-aged women on a reunion trip, where tensions simmer beneath the surface. You’ll also encounter a cheerful girlfriend and her melancholy boyfriend. Returning from Season 1 is Belinda (Natasha Rothwell), now joined by a diverse cast including hotel staff like Mook (Lisa from Blackpink) and Valentin (Arnas Fedaravičius), who is not shy about showing some skin.

With so much going on—and our minds inevitably in “vacation mode”—consider this guide your ultimate refresher on the main players in “The White Lotus” Season 3.

Belinda Lindsey (Natasha Rothwell)

Belinda, the spa manager from Season 1, swaps Maui for Koh Samui to take part in a three-month wellness initiative, where she learns the art of Thai healing. Back in Hawaii, she bonded with Tanya McQuoid, portrayed by Jennifer Coolidge, who once promised to help her establish her spa. Now, as Tanya’s journey ended tragically last season, it remains a mystery if Belinda is aware of the circumstances.

Timothy Ratliff (Jason Isaacs)

Timothy, the head of the Ratliff clan, juggles his affluent lifestyle with the resort’s emphasis on disconnecting from technology. His family-oriented image begins to unravel as calls from pesky journalists complicate his vacation.

Victoria Ratliff (Parker Posey)

Victoria, the flamboyant Southern matriarch laden with Xanax and jet lag, scoffs at her daughter Piper’s thesis on Buddhism. Still, she adores her family, often reminding Timothy of his virtues while laughing at Saxon’s inappropriate quips.

Saxon Ratliff (Patrick Schwarzenegger)

The prototypical “finance bro,” Saxon mirrors his father’s wardrobe and ambitions. He focuses less on Thai serenity and more on ensuring both he and his brother, Lochlan, have eventful nights, placing monetary gain and female attention above all else.

Piper Ratliff (Sarah Catherine Hook)

Piper, the family’s middle child and newfound Buddhist, is set on making sense of Eastern philosophies for her thesis, dragging her family to Thailand in the process. She finds herself embarrassed by Saxon’s antics and more connected to Lochlan.

Lochlan Ratliff (Sam Nivola)

The youngest Ratliff, Lochlan, faces the pressure of choosing his college path while surrounded by a high-octane family. Torn between Duke and UNC Chapel Hill, he gravitates towards Piper’s peace-driven pursuits, while Saxon’s lifestyle pulls him in another direction.

Jaclyn Lemon (Michelle Monaghan)

Actress Jaclyn brings her old friends Kate and Laurie on a celebratory trip to Thailand. Freshly married, Jaclyn seems successful, but hidden tensions arise as she and Kate repeatedly forget to include Laurie in their exchanges of admiration.

Kate (Leslie Bibb)

On what she dubs a “victory tour,” Kate is eager to rekindle friendships with Jaclyn and Laurie. Skeptical questions about Jaclyn’s secret to looking “great” hint at her hidden curiosity about her friends’ lives.

Laurie (Carrie Coon)

Laurie finds herself quickly marginalized during the reunion trip, grateful for Jaclyn’s generosity but struggling to participate in conversations revolving around luxury lifestyles she can’t relate to. Her friends’ reciprocal flattery often excludes her.

Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood)

A free spirit from Manchester, Chelsea fits the resort’s wellness theme with ease, though she’s unsure why her much older partner, Rick, brought her along. Forming a bond at the hotel bar with Chloe, she navigates her mysterious partner’s antics.

Rick Hatchett (Walton Goggins)

Rick looms as an enigmatic figure, whisking Chelsea to the White Lotus for reasons unknown, harboring secrets hinted at by his anxious reaction to news concerning Jim Hollinger. Wrapped in mystery, Chelsea remains in the dark about his true motives.

Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon)

Living just uphill from the resort, Chloe is in a similar predicament as Chelsea, residing in paradise alongside her significantly older partner. The shared experience forms the basis of her friendship with Chelsea.

Mook (Lalisa Manobal)

Mook, a lively wellness mentor at the resort, finds camaraderie with security guard Gaitok, who aids her commute to work. Though she is enamored by the owner’s bodyguards’ lifestyles, her heart leans towards Gaitok.

Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong)

Gaitok is the resort’s vigilant security guard. Harboring a crush on Mook, he tries to impress her with tales of past heroics while easing his insecurities about more glamorous colleagues.

Sritala (Lek Patravadi)

Sritala, the White Lotus owner, navigates the resort’s challenges while her husband Jim convalesces in Bangkok. Formerly a Thai entertainment icon, she pioneered the resort’s wellness initiative after her own health battles.

Fabian (Christian Friedel)

The nervous but ambitious general manager, Fabian, welcomes guests with gusto while striving to earn Sritala’s validation.

Pornchai (Dom Hetrakul)

As a wellness guru, Pornchai guides Belinda through Thai massages, helping her feel at ease during her stay.

Valentin (Arnas Fedaravičius)

Popular among the guests for his striking looks, Valentin captures attention as a charismatic health mentor, particularly setting hearts aflutter among visiting ladies.

Zion Lindsey (Nicholas Duvernay)

Belinda’s Harvard law student son, Zion, visits during her training stint. His meditation practice is abruptly interrupted by a violent event at the resort, leading him to seek solace and protection for his mother through prayer.
