If you're a fan of The White Lotus, you may be waiting a while for Season 3.
HBO and Max Chairman/CEO Casey Bloys revealed that the scheduled plans for release dates have been adjusted due to the writers' and actors' strike, according to Variety.
Additionally, the new It prequel series is delayed.
White Lotus Season 3 new premiere date
“White Lotus' Season 3 probably would have been in play for 2024, it's 2025,” Bloys stated during a press event in New York. “‘Welcome to Derry,' we had that scheduled for Halloween 2024. That's likely 2025.”
The hit show Lotus from creator Mike White was in the early season of prepping and getting ready for Season 3. But, like most of Hollywood, the writers' and actor's strike shut down moving forward.
Previously, it was reported that the new season would take place in Thailand and that Natasha Rothwell would be returning in the same role she had in Season 1.
With both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes haulting production on the new seasons, Bloys mentioned to reporters that “White Lotus” probably won't be ready until 2025.
The ‘IT’ prequel series ‘WELCOME TO DERRY’ will release in 2025.
