Season 3 of The White Lotus has already kicked off with a bang – and once you've checked in, you just know there's plenty more mayhem to come. This season's fresh cast is already doing a stellar job of making us love to hate them and their secrets. While watching, we couldn't help feeling nostalgic when we caught glimpses of some of the faces on screen. Let's take a look at where we have seen some of the cast members before.
Michelle Monaghan
In the latest season of The White Lotus, Monaghan plays the adventurous and successful actress Jaclyn, who decides to plan and pay for an all-girls reunion in Thailand. The trip is her way of reconnecting with her childhood best friends. To some fans, Monaghan is a familiar face. Romcom lovers will remember her as Hollywood's sweetheart in the early 2000s, playing the object of affection in a number of romantic movies. We've seen her in The Heartbreak Kid, Made of Honor, and Playing it Cool, to name a few. Monaghan has also appeared in several TV shows and brings such flair to all her roles. So far, we're loving her portrayal of Jaclyn.
Leslie Bibb
Bibb is the feisty and rather nosy Kate in The White Lotus season 3. There are plenty of layers we're sure to uncover about this character during the season. Bibb is a familiar face to '90s kids who remember her from many sitcoms and other series, where she often played the "It girl". Let us refresh your memory. She was noted for her role as queen bee Brooke McQueen in the TV series Popular. She also played medical student Erin Harkins in season 9 of the medical drama, ER. Over the years, Bibb has starred in many TV shows and movies. She is known for the sarcastic charm she brings to her characters, and she brings that very charm to The White Lotus.
Carrie Coon
Coon takes on the role of Laurie, a corporate worker from the city. Unlike her friends, she's unbothered by the lavish life. She decides to take on the all-paid girl's trip, compliment of her friend Jaclyn, but little does she know, this trip comes with a hefty price tag of quite another kind! But where have you seen Coon before? She starred in the thriller Gone Girl and HBO's series The Leftovers, as well as the critically acclaimed Fargo, and more recently in the period-drama, The Gilded Age. Coon is also an accomplished stage actress.
Natasha Rothwell
Rothwell reprises her role as spa manager Belinda from season 1 of The White Lotus. In season 3, she jets off to Thailand to bring her wellness techniques to the new guests of The White Lotus. Rothwell started her TV career as a writer on the comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live. She later moved onto the dramedy series Insecure, where she served as a writer and series regular.
Parker Posey
Posey plays Victoria Ratliff, an overbearing southern mother, who's visiting the resort with her wealthy husband and children. She and her family certainly bring delicious secrets to the villa, and we're dying to find out more. Posey was quite the familiar face in the '90s and early 2000s. You'd see her pop up in of plenty movies and shows back then. To invoke your nostalgia: she had roles in the comedy Josie and The Pussycats, Scream 3, (where she played the character of a character within the movie franchise), and the coming-of-age drama Dazed and Confused.
