The White Lotus is packing its bags for Season 3, and guess who’s joining the dysfunctional vacation crew? Patrick “Yes, I’m Arnold’s Son” Schwarzenegger and Walton “Scene-Stealer Extraordinaire” Goggins. These two dropped some cryptic hints about the upcoming season at the 2024 GQ Men of the Year party, proving once again that The White Lotus is the show that turns chaos into Emmy gold.
First Stop: The Hype Train
Patrick, looking like he just stepped off the cover of “Gen Z’s Guide to Looking Perfect,” was absolutely glowing about his new gig. “Working with Mike White [show creator] was like a dream come true,” he gushed to E! News, giving major “kid at Disney for the first time” energy. He added, “It was surreal, it was life-changing…” (Cue dramatic pause for effect) “…to learn amongst the other actors.” Apparently, this set wasn’t just a job—it was basically Hogwarts for thespians.
Meanwhile, Walton Goggins, the human embodiment of charisma, nodded sagely and confirmed, “It really is extraordinary.” You could almost hear the faint hum of a choir singing “Hallelujah” as he described the experience. According to Walton, being cast in The White Lotus is like getting knighted by Hollywood: “It’s a feather in our cap.” A fancy way of saying, “This show is the VIP section of TV gigs, and we are living for it.”
Mystery, Drama, and… Thailand?
While the duo stayed mum on plot details (probably because Mike White would show up like a Bond villain to enforce his NDA), they radiated the kind of excitement that says, “We filmed some wild stuff, and you’re not ready.” Given The White Lotus‘ reputation for luxury, betrayal, and enough awkward dinner conversations to fill a therapy office, Season 3 promises to be another rollercoaster of rich people problems. And where’s it set this time? Thailand, baby! Expect yoga retreats gone wrong and maybe a tuk-tuk chase for good measure.
2025 Can’t Come Soon Enough
Though no exact premiere date has been announced yet, fans are already planning their return to the couch (and Twitter) to dissect every juicy detail of Season 3. Until then, we’ll just replay Walton and Patrick’s interviews on a loop, imagining what kind of chaos awaits their characters.
Because if The White Lotus has taught us anything, it’s that paradise always comes with a side of dysfunction—and we are here for it. 🌴
