The White Lotus has been renewed for a fourth season. The series, which has aired two seasons over the past couple of years and will be premiering a third this February, is one of HBO's most successful series. The fact that it was renewed for a fourth season in advance suggests that the company has large plans for it in the future and that they're interested in continuing to explore more stories in that universe.

"The White Lotus" is an anthology series following various characters at different locations of The White Lotus, a fictional chain of luxury hotels and resorts. The series is a dark comedy and explores tensions that exist between races, genders, and characters of different economic backgrounds, most prominently the hotel's guests and the staff. 

Both seasons have also included deaths and murders. The first season was set in Hawaii, and the second in Sicily. Throughout its run, "The White Lotus" has won 15 Emmys.

More details about season three

The third season of "The White Lotus" will be available on Max on February 16, at 9pm. The season consists of eight episodes set in Thailand, exploring a new batch of guests and employees over a week.

Some time ago, White teased the third season and said that it would 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,” he said to Entertainment Weekly.
