The White Lotus is returning to HBO and Max next month, so you can soak up more satire, sun and thrilling resort drama. A new trailer offers a look at the highly anticipated third installment, which is set in Thailand and features a new cast alongside returning star Natasha Rothwell.

Season 3 of the anthology series premieres on Feb. 16 and will once again follow hotel guests over the course of a week. The official trailer includes some of the new faces that will be in Thailand, including Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Aimee Lou Wood and the K-pop star Lisa, who plays a health mentor for guests.

Rothwell, who starred in season 1 as Belinda, the spa manager of a different White Lotus resort in Hawaii, is on an exchange program in season 3, according to an earlier teaser trailer. The new preview offers a brief look at a body bag and the general vibe of a dark side to paradise that accompanies every White Lotus entry.

The season will include eight episodes and is created, written and directed by Mike White. More HBO/Max shows coming out this year include season 2 of The Last of Us, season 2 of Peacemaker, season 4 of Hacks and the new shows Welcome to Derry and Game of Thrones spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
