Every season of hit HBO drama The White Lotus brings us a new cast of characters, all brilliantly brought to life by an ensemble of tremendous actors. If there's one thing showrunner Mike White knows how to get right – it's the show's casting.

All eyes then were on the casting announcements for The White Lotus season 3, with fans getting excited by the news that the likes of Fallout's Walton Goggins, Harry Potter's Jason Isaacs, and Sex Education's Aimee Lou Wood were joining the show.

As ever it's an impressive ensemble, but one name in particular is drawing curiosity – Lalisa Manobal. For those unfamiliar, Manobal is better known as 'Lisa' and is a huge K-pop star, mainly thanks to being a member of beloved girl group Blackpink. In The White Lotus season 3, the Thai singer makes her acting debut, portraying Mook, a health mentor for the guests staying at the Thailand resort.

The White Lotus season 3 begins on Max on February 16 in the US and February 17 in the UK on Sky. For more, check out our guides to the best HBO shows and the best HBO movies.
