White Lotus Season 3: A Familiar Faces Reunion in Thailand.

The highly anticipated third season of HBO's The White Lotus premieres on February 16th, and viewers might experience a sense of déjà vu. The star-studded cast, set against the exotic backdropp of Thailand, features a mix of familiar faces from beloved franchises, hit TV shows, and even the K-pop world. From wizards to spa gurus, the new season promises a delightful game of "Where have I seen them before?"  

One of the most striking transformations is Jason Isaacs, best known as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. Trading his platinum blonde hair and aristocratic robes for a more casual look, Isaacs embodies Timothy Ratliff, a wealthy businessman vacationing with his family. His Southern accent further enhances the disguise, making him almost unrecognizable.  

Joining Isaacs in the Ratliff family are Parker Posey as his wife Victoria, Patrick Schwarzenegger as their son Saxon, Sarah Catherine Hook as daughter Piper, and Sam Nivola as son Lochlan. Posey, a veteran of Scream 3 and numerous indie films, brings her signature comedic timing to the role. Schwarzenegger, son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, has carved his own path in Hollywood with roles in Gen V and The Terminal List. Hook, known for her work in horror films like The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, takes on a different genre with The White Lotus. Nivola, son of Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola, recently starred in The Perfect Couple alongside Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber.  

"It felt like an experiment," Posey told E! News about filming the season in Thailand. "These things change your life. I got a massage in Thailand for $30."

But the biggest casting coup of the season is arguably Lalisa Manobal, better known as Lisa from the K-pop sensation Blackpink. Lisa, along with Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé, has conquered the music world, becoming the most followed female group on Spotify and the music group with the most subscribers on YouTube. Making her acting debut as Mook, a member of the White Lotus staff, Lisa's presence adds another layer of excitement to the show. "I almost cried," she told E! about landing the role, revealing herself as a long-time fan of the series.
