Season three began production in and around Koh Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok, Thailand, back in February. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps aside from the fact it will follow a new group of guests at a White Lotus resort property.
The first season centred on a group of hotel guests staying at the titular, luxury chain’s Hawaii franchise, while season two followed a new group who stayed at its Sicilian location. For the next season, HBO has partnered with the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
As for the new Game of Thrones, we are only given a brief glance at A Knight of Seven Kingdoms, with Peter Claffey introducing himself as “Ser Duncan ‘Dunk’ the Tall”.
The series will tell the “Dunk and Egg stories”, with the first season adapted from George RR Martin’s first novella of the tales, The Hedge Knight.
They follow the journey of Ser Duncan and his young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), as they travel to compete in a tournament.

Written by Martin and House of the Dragon’s Ira Parker, the series will be set 100 years before Game of Thrones and 100 years after House of the Dragon, forming a neat sandwich of the blood and gore viewers have come to know and love.
In September, Game of Thrones creator George RR Martin called his experience of working on the show “pleasant” while updating fans about his slow progress on the final novels in the A Song of Fire and Ice series.
