HBO's hit anthology series "The White Lotus" is back for season three with a fresh group of guests checking in.

The latest season of the show, which was created, written, and directed by Mike White, follows vacationers at the titular resort chain's Thailand location over the course of a week. With the exception of Natasha Rothwell reprising her season one role as Belinda, the rest of the core cast consists of actors who are new to the "White Lotus" world.

Ahead of the season three premiere on Sunday, here's a rundown of who's in the cast and what you might recognize them from.

In the first season, set in Hawaii, Belinda aspired to run her own wellness center someday. One of the rich White Lotus guests, Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge), led Belinda to believe that she'd fund her dream. But Tanya ultimately backed out of the agreement. Tanya then died after falling overboard from a yacht in the season two finale of "The White Lotus."
