A week in Thailand can change everything when you stay at the White Lotus.

On Monday, Jan. 27, HBO released the official trailer forthe highly-anticipated third season ofThe White Lotus, which kicked off with an eerie warning: “At the end of the week, you will be an entirely different person.”

Right away, fans get some context aboutthe cast members’ dynamics with each other.Leslie Bibb(Kate),Michelle Monaghan(Jaclyn) andCarrie Coon(Laurie) are “longtime friends” taking a trip together,Walton Goggins(Rick) and Aimee Lou Wood (Chelsea) are an oddly-matched couple andParker Posey(Victoria) andJason Isaacs(Timothy) are on a trip with their three children,Patrick Schwarzenegger(Saxson),Sarah Catherine Hook(Piper) andSam Nivola(Lochlan).

Meanwhile,Natasha Rothwell’s Belinda is hoping to learn “everything” she can from the Thai hotel’s spa so she can “bring the magic back to Maui.”

Jaclyn teases that “what happens in Thailand stays in Thailand,” as she seems to encourage Kate and Laurie to be on their worst behavior. But Lalisa Manobal’s Mook, an employee of the hotel, warns, “Everyone [who] comes to Thailand, they’re either hiding from someone or looking for someone.”

As always, there’s more than meets the eye to each of the characters. Timothy is on the verge of prison time and has lost all his wealth, though his family is none the wiser. Rick is keeping an eye out for someone and Jaclyn, Kate and Laurie have a lot to get off their chests, as Laurie accuses Kate of"always” being “fake” while Jaclyn is “vain and selfish.”

Victoria has some doubts, though, considering she says “everyone” tells her that her husband is a “great man,” but she doesn’t seem convinced of it herself.

When Timothy poses the question, “What if we lost everything?” her lack of loyalty is clear. “Honestly, I don’t know if I’d wanna live,” Victoria tells her husband. “I just don’t have it in me.”

Crime is also on the rise on the island, to the extent that Belinda is “a little freaked out” — and she probably should be, since security guard Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong) admittedly has no desire to “hurt anyone.”

“Go big or go home, right?” Nicholas Duvernay says as the trailer concludes, and Belinda — given her experience at Maui’s White Lotus in season 1 – which left the manager of the hotel, Armond (Murray Bartlett) dead — adds, “In a body bag.”

While the exact plotline of the new season won’t be confirmed until it begins airing, Rothwell, 44, teased last month that she loved the story so much,she “would be on set, even when it wasn’t my day shooting, just to watch the magic unfold.”

“And I would be gagged — as if I hadn’t already read all the scripts! I’d be like, ‘Oh, s—,'” she toldEntertainment Weekly. “I really do think that this season is magic. That’s the only word.”
