The White Lotus Season 3 Finale: Ending Explained – E! Online

As for the stars that did remember all the dirty details? They knew it was an ending no one would expect.

“Whatever you think you know,” said Jon Gries, the only cast member to appear in all three seasons, “you’re going to get it wrong.”

For creator Mike White, he wanted his hour-and-a-half finale to be truly epic.

“As a filmmaker, it’s probably the piece of work that I’m like, ‘I can’t believe I did that,'” he told THR. “My hope is that it’ll feel like a cathartic sad or a satisfying sad and not a ‘What the f–k?’ sad, but people are going to have a million different opinions. You just hope you stick the landing.”

But for those who can’t get enough of The White Lotus? Well, season four may be coming sooner than you think. 

“There’s already pressure from HBO,” White added. “When they have something they’re bullish on, they want to get it out there. We were supposed to start scouting in April, and I was like, ‘You guys, I haven’t been home in three years.'”
