HBO pulled out all the stops at a Thai-themed premiere event Monday night for the upcoming third season of White Lotus, in which Mike White’s social satire anthology was wrapped in murder mystery. It was a throwback to the elaborate sindig of the must-see obligations of signatures over the past few years, but it reflects recent tragic events.
White Lotus is being directed by EVP Francesca Orsi, who was recognized on Monday by both White and Orsi boss HBO and MAX Content Chairman and CEO Casey Bloys.
She spoke about the afterparty deadline for season 3 and the already green-lighted season 4 of the White Lotus, which was already green-lighted, including where the next article will be set and whether it’s an All-Star event. . She also teased our final season and golden age. A new series task from East Town creator Marley. And the rest of HBO’s 2025 drama lineup will advance the new Game of Thrones prequels, the Order of Seven Kingdom, House of the Dragon in 2027, Euphoria Returns in 2026, and the new True Detective I looked at it.
“White Lotus” Season 3
Because of Italian descent, Orsi is a bit biased when evaluating three White Lotus installments set in Hawaii, Italy and Thailand. However, she didn’t hesitate to list Season 3 as the best of the anthology.
“I called Casey after the finale. I said, I don’t know how Mike can get to the top of what he accomplished here,” she said. “It’s part of the incredible season of television, a movie. He’s exponentially burdened himself, I’m really blown away by what he accomplished with this. Every season There’s always something to say, but this season has a deep quality that he feels is different from what he explored. It’s a tall order for the future.”
With the show thriving with Surprise Twist, Season 3 already outweighs previous installments in the Surprise Division by maintaining the secrets of keycasting. But fans who come to Hijink are behaving the show’s trademark rich people, this time they’re doing more.
“The magnitude of the way Mike challenges our pure and primitive beings is explored by our walks on our planet,” Orsi said. “There’s a deeper interrogation you have with yourself in terms of materialism, consumerist culture, and the necessity of the essence of being. Get ready!”
Location of “White Lotus” Season 4
Since the White Lotus Season 4 renewal became official last month, rumors have swirled around where it will be set in Africa and Latin American countries among the options circulating online.
In yet another signature, White Lotus Twist, the show can deflect its original trajectory, each season, going to a new continent by literally revisiting the old continent.
“We’ll be scouting some places in the coming weeks so we can get to know them right away,” Orsi says. “We can’t really say where we’re going to land, but it could be somewhere in Europe.”
She quickly hedged the answer by saying that a return to Europe was “probably”, saying, “It’s part of some of the countries on the map we spoke about, but actually scouting the place.” “There’s nothing to report to.”
White Lotus has worked with the Four Seasons chain, whose hotel doubles as White Lotus Resort. There are many European locations that could compete, including some rather famous places in the French Riviera.
“Early early updates of White Lotus
The show’s season four picks weren’t announced until last month, but for a few months it was a natural conclusion. Orsi recalled discussing that she and Bloys continued the series with White while visiting Thailand during season 3 production.
“We were in Phuket, we were together for dinner, and just like we were talking about the future, Mike said, you all were going to make more. Are you interested? We’re here if you want to make more. I really think we’re behind as long as there’s something to say to the microphone.”
The Broys in December visited Thailand on a season 3 shot, and if White wanted a fourth season, HBO was expected to enter the fourth season. I’ve checked.

Over 4 seasons and All-Star Edition
Former survivor and amazing race contestant, White is about taking pages from the real-life competition rulebook and playing a White Lotus All-Star season featuring outstanding characters returning from various installments I spoke. Is that Season 4?
“I don’t think it’s going to be Season 4, but it’s still on the horizon,” Orsi said. “We’re still under discussion, but it’s too early.”
Does that mean that the white lotus, written, directed and produced by the executives, can go beyond four seasons?
“I think he’s over four,” Orsi said. “He hasn’t confirmed that, but I think he’s going to say more than one more season.”

“Then we’ll go to our end. We have a lot to say about Bella Ramsey, Pedro Pascal, Caitlin Dever and some other new players in the cast,” Orsi said. I said that. “And we’ll roll into the golden age of Julian Fellows. Then, Tass, Brad Ingelsby’s new show, for the fall, it’s very exciting.”
“The Last of Us” Season 2
Orsi spoke about the second season of the upcoming seven episodes of the Emmy Award-winning post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us.
“There are certain elements of the various factions that are competing for survival to reveal that they are a very interesting survivalist group. “Specific ways (shows) introduce them in wardrobe and make-up. I’m doing it.

“There’s no perfect or final plan, but I think it looks like four seasons. I don’t want to confirm that, but it looks like this season, then two more seasons, and we’ve finished .”
“The Golden Age” Season 3
Orsi has also entered a new era with Fellows’ New York-era drama The Gilded Age in the coming third season.
“Broadly, I think it’s an interesting way we explored the era of how divorce came to the forefront in American relations,” she said. “I think there’s a conversation about arranging a marriage. If that doesn’t necessarily work, I think it’s a harbinger of society what a divorce will look like at that point. And based on divorce, Whether you are accepted by society or not.
“Knights of the Seven Kingdoms”
George RR Martin’s three dunk and egg novel adaptation is smaller and on a more “intimate” scale than the other Game of Throne series, and is still on track with three seasons of running and is available for updates He says it is highly proficiency.
“Like the two leads, dunk and eggs, you’re very impressed with Peter Claffy and Dexter Sol Ansel,” she said. “So we’ve already planned how we’ll build this over a total of three seasons. We haven’t officially picked it up, but it looks really good.”
She also revealed that there is a “promising” new spinoff in the film “still in the Targary Enline.”

Fillyman Blood Ingelsby’s new “Task”
In a follow-up to East Town’s Mare, Ingelsby creates, and the executive produces tasks about FBI agents (Mark Ruffalo) in working-class suburbs outside of Philadelphia. .
Orsi believes Easttown fan Marley is “really pleased” with Ingelsby’s New Limited Crime series.
“He’s a very incredible storyteller,” she said of the Pennsylvania native who has an overall deal with HBO. “It’s too early to say it, but if he can do business with Brad on an ongoing series in the Philadelphia world, he knows both inside and out.
HBO Drama: 2026 and later
After the task execution is finished, we will roll in to 2026’s new series IT and industry and some new projects. One of them is Steve Conrad’s DTF, which you may know from the Patriot. It’s called St. Louis, and sensibility,” Orsi said. “We’ll start filming there in a few weeks.”
Based on Stephen King’s Horror Classic, it is one of several well-known Warner Bros. based titles that moved from Max to HBO along with the Harry Potter series, The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy.
As for the provocative title DTF, the limited series starring Jason Bateman and David Harbor is about the love triangle among three adults experiencing the middle-aged Malamars, among which One person dies.
Also, the 2026 deck will have the third season of Dragons and House of Happiness.
The new installments for Game of Thrones Prequel begin with the Battle of Gullet, which took place from Season 2.
“It’s so good that we’re waiting for you because it’s better than ever,” Orsi said. “It was so big, so we needed time to build it.”
In terms of happiness, Orsi addressed the notion that the series’ very late third season will be its last.
“We talked about it, and I don’t think anything has finished until it’s finished, but it’s been argued that this is the end,” she said.
In any case, “I think you’ll be very pleased with this season and very happy with how it brings the entire story of each character,” added Orsi.
The next True Detective article currently being written will be in 2027. It is set in Jamaica Bay, New York, and added, “It’s a different environment (as the night country), but just as powerful.”
