The spa manager with big dreams that everyone adores is coming back to the screen.
Natasha Rothwell, who played Belinda Lindsey in Season 1 of the hit HBO show “The White Lotus,” will be back for the show’s third season, as reported by Variety on Wednesday.
The publication said that details about Rothwell’s role in the new season have not yet been disclosed.
However, Rothwell took it to Twitter to celebrate her upcoming return to the show:
Belinda is back baby!!!

In Season 1, Belinda wanted to leave her job as a spa worker at the White Lotus resort in Hawaii and start her own business. During the season, she became more and more hopeful that rich resort guest Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) would invest in her new business. (Note: Season 2 spoilers ahead!)
But Tanya turned out to be unreliable and (amusingly) emotionally unstable, and she didn’t keep her promise in the end. When Coolidge died in the Season 2 finale, fans were sad because they wanted to see more of her antics.
Coolidge must have been upset, too, because in December she said she tried to talk the show creator Mike White out of it.
[White] said I was going to have a tragic ending, and he stuck to his guns,
the Emmy winner told Vulture that month.
Rothwell produced, wrote, and starred in the HBO show “Insecure.” Last year, she was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her role in “The White Lotus.”
She tweeted on Wednesday saying that her “heart is full” because she is so excited about her role in the third season of the show.
Words cannot even begin to express how excited, grateful and humbled I am to have the chance to breathe life into Belinda once again,
Rothwell wrote.
Thank you for the outpouring of love and support today. I am overwhelmed, overjoyed and over the fucking moon!
Variety reported in March that unnamed sources said that the third season of “The White Lotus” will likely take place in Thailand.
