It’s time to check in, folks! The White Lotus is back, and this time, we’re swapping Aperol spritzes in Sicily for Thai spice and scandal. A new group of guests and staff have arrived at the ultra-luxe White Lotus Thailand. Paradise is about to get… complicated. Will friendships implode? Will fortunes vanish? Who won’t make it out alive? Buckle up, because this cast is serving drama on a silver platter.
The VIP Guest List: Meet the Cast of Season 3
Leslie Bibb as Kate – Trouble in (Friendship) Paradise
Kate is part of a trio of 40-something besties hoping for a peaceful Thai getaway. Spoiler alert: it’s not all zen gardens and mojitos. As the jabs get more passive-aggressive, we’ll see if these ladies grow closer or if one checks out for good.
📌 Seen before in: Iron Man, Palm Royale 📌 Find her on Instagram: @mslesliebibb
Carrie Coon as Laurie – The ‘Basic’ Wildcard
She starts as the quiet one, but in true White Lotus fashion, Laurie’s role is set to take a turn for the juicy. Carrie Coon’s character brings a blend of stealth and sass. She shows us that we should never underestimate the quiet ones.

Michelle Monaghan as Jaclyn – The Hollywood Diva
A TV actress footing the bill for her friends’ five-star trip? Sounds generous, but we suspect Jaclyn’s generosity might come with strings attached. Is she seeking validation… or something more sinister?

Trouble in Paradise: The ‘What Are They Hiding?’ Club
Walton Goggins as Rick Hatchett – The Mystery Man
Grizzled and edgy, he appeared ready to snap at any moment. Rick has a trick up his sleeve. With his younger girlfriend Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) by his side, expect secrets, lies, and a con or two.
📌 Seen before in: Justified, Django Unchained 📌 Find him on Instagram: @waltongogginsbonafide
Aimee Lou Wood as Chelsea – The Free Spirit
BAFTA winner Aimee Lou Wood plays Chelsea. She’s a lovable but unpredictable character who is clearly out of her depth. If the trailer is any clue, her knack for getting ‘free’ hotel perks might come at a cost.

The Dysfunctional Family™: The Ratliffs
We have the ultimate family vacation disaster waiting to unfold!
- Jason Isaacs plays Timothy Ratliff. He is a stressed businessman on the edge of financial and moral collapse.
- Parker Posey as Victoria Ratliff – His wife, who would rather die than not be rich.
