The White Lotus S03E08: "Amor Fati" Preview; Season 3 Finale Clues
Check out our preview/viewing guide for the season finale of HBO and Mike White's The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 8: "Amor Fati."
This is it, folks. The season finale we've been waiting all week for and will probably discuss and debate for weeks afterward. Who's on the receiving end of those gunshots we heard at the start of the season? Who's body was found floating in the hotel's pond? Will Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) take Gary/Greg (Jon Gries) or make sure that he gets the justice he deserves? With a whole lot of plotlines set to come to a head this Sunday during HBO and Mike White's wrap-up to The White Lotus Season 3, S03E08: "Amor Fati" is offering Timothy (Jason Isaacs), Rick (Walton Goggins), Lochlan (Sam Nivola), Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger), Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan), Kate (Leslie Bibb), Laurie (Carrie Coon), and the others a 90-minute final run. For this final preview, we're offering some extra to check out to help set the mood. Along with our normal previews, we're also sharing a look at what White and a number of the cast had to say about what viewers can expect from the season finale ("Get fucking ready. Like, get ready. Let's fucking go"). In addition,
Mike White: "As a filmmaker, it's a piece of work where I'm like, 'I can't believe I did that.' I mean, a lot of it is because there are so many talented people working on it, but it just feels like it racks focus in a way that's very satisfying as a writer. And so, yeah, it's sad, but my hope is that it will feel like a cathartic sad or a satisfying sad and not a 'What the fuck?' sad."
Walton Goggins: "Season three is about spirituality, it's about life and it's about death, and you get all of them in episode eight."
Jon Gries: "It is shocking — absolutely, mouth-agape shocking."
Lalisa "Lisa" Manobal: "You're not ready for it."
Aimee Lou Wood: "There's triumph, there's despair, it's kind of the full spectrum of what White Lotus can be — it's all in there. And also, I love the way it always repeats a format, but what's occurring within it is so different, and I think that this particular death is very different from the other deaths."
Michelle Monaghan: "Emotional and deeply satisfying."
Jason Isaacs: "There are three important parts to every film: the ending, the ending, and the ending. And this end is perfection."
Leslie Bibb: "Get fucking ready. Like, get ready. Let's fucking go."
