Episode Description

"The White Lotus," HBO's breakout hit of 2021 was originally billed as a limited series. But here we are, back again for a third trip of what has become a popular anthology.

While Jennifer Coolidge bridged the casts between season 1 and 2, Natasha Rothwell reprises her season 1 role as the lone holdover from a previous season.

Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Parker Posey and Patrick Schwarzenegger are among the actors making up the ensemble cast. 

Co-host Bruce Miller has previewed a good chunk of the season and raves about what viewers will see starting weekly on Feb. 16. The eight-episode season is scheduled to conlcude on April 6.

In other news, we share our victory in the 2025 Iowa Better Newspaper Contest, talk about the Critics Choice Awards and co-host Terry Lipshetz raves about "Saturday Night" in advance of the big "SNL 50" special coming this weekend.
