As The White Lotus returns without one fan favorite, another struggled with her absence as well. Following the shocking death of Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya McQuoid in the Season 2 finale, Natasha Rothwell recalled her reaction to the scene and what she texted Coolidge afterward.

Primary filming for this eight-episode third season — still written by showrunner/creator Mike White — took place at the Four Seasons resort Koh Samui, on an island of the same name in the Gulf of Thailand.

Mike White's HBO series "The White Lotus" returns in season 3 with a new cast that includes Patrick Schwarzenegger, Parker Posey, and Walton Goggins.
