As usual, no character details are being shared, but as Deadline reported in November, the multigenerational gang includes a patriarch, a female corporate executive, an actress, a couple of mothers, including a country club wife, a misfit and a yogi. Glenn is believed to be playing a man referred to as Jim, who may be slowing down physically but is still mentally sharp and a little cranky.

Created, written and directed by Mike White, The White Lotus is executive produced by White, David Bernad and Mark Kamine. On the filming and promotion of the third installment, HBO has partnered with the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

Variety was first to report Manobal’s casting today.
