Jack Black responds to rumors about his potential casting in The White Lotus season 3.

The comedy-drama anthology series premiered in 2021 and focuses on the adventures of a group of elite, rich people while they spend their holidays in a fictional hotel chain called The White Lotus.

The series is set in a different city every season and features a different cast. The first two seasons were a great success, after which HBO renewed the series for season 3.

Although there are various rumors about the cast and storyline of season 3, nothing has been officially confirmed by the makers yet. One such speculation is about Jack Black being a part of the upcoming season.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Jack Black denied rumors about being a part of The White Lotus season 3. Black mentioned that while he still remains good friends with creator Mike White, he will not be a part of the upcoming season.

Here’s Black’s quote from the interview above:

I’ll deny because that’s easy to tell the truth. I have to throw ice water on that sweet, sweet theory.

The White Lotus was originally supposed to be a limited series with six episodes. However, the immense critical acclaim and the growing popularity of the series convinced HBO to renew it for another season.

There are high expectations from season 3, given the critical and commercial success of the first two seasons. The plot has been kept under wraps to evoke curiosity.

Natasha Rothwell is confirmed to reprise her role as Belinda in season 3. Although Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) appeared in seasons 1 and 2, she will not be returning in season 3 as her character dies at the end of season 2.

HBO also announced that The White Lotus season 3 will consist of nine main characters of various ages from 18 to 80. Season 3 will be set in Thailand, as confirmed by previous reports.

No official release date for The White Lotus has been confirmed as of writing, although it will likely be released in 2025.
