Although the newest season will only be released in 2025 due to the American writers’ strike, the star-studded cast has already been announced.
Some of the biggest names joining the cast include Jason Isaacs, best known for their role as Lucius Malfoy in 'Harry Potter'.
The Emmy award-winning series is also adding Michelle Monaghan ('Mission: Impossible', 'True Detective'), Parker Posey ('Beau is Afraid', 'The Good Wife'), and Leslie Bibb ('Iron Man', 'Jupiter’s Legacy') to its cast.

NME reports that no further information is available about the third season except that filming will start at the beginning of 2024.
"It's going to be longer, bigger, crazier. I don't know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing … I’m super excited about the content of the season," said series creator Mike White.

"The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex.
"I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality. It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus."
