Both have received critical acclaim for the show's writing and the performances of the cast. Over the course of the two series produced, it has won 14 Primetime Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes.

The third season is set to take place in Thailand, though production was delayed due to the writer and actor strikes. White previously teased the scale of the next series, telling Entertainment Weekly:

"It's going to be a supersized White Lotus. It's going to be longer, bigger, crazier. I don't know what people will think, but I am super excited, so at least for my own barometer, that's a good thing ... I'm super excited about the content of the season."
