Fans of The White Lotus held onto hope that they’ll see Belinda again after the show’s first season wrapped up, and their prayers have finally been answered! Natasha Rothwell will return as our favorite White Lotus spa manager in the show’s upcoming third season.

Rothwell starred in the first season of The White Lotus alongside Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario, Jake Lacy, Brittany O’Grady, Sydney Sweeney, and Steve Zahn, and scored an Emmy nod for the role of the empathetic spa manager Belinda Lindsey.

The first season ended on a dark note for Belinda after her dream to open her own wellness business fell apart. Her complicated friendship with Coolidge’s Tanya also went sideways after she backtracked on her promise to help her out before leaving the White Lotus Hawaii.

Rothwell previously discussed her potential return ahead of Season 2 and told The Daily Beast that she’d “jump at the opportunity” to play Belinda again.

The third season feels like the perfect time for her return given her wellness background and the show’s focus on “death and Eastern religion and spirituality.” Mike White is yet to cast the rest of the Season 3 ensemble, but it’s been announced that the next chapter of the story will take place in Thailand.
