UPDATED: HBO has released a new trailer for Season 3 of The White Lotus. The Thailand-set season sees a new crop of unhappy, rich vacationers at a luxurious resort.

“Our hotel is the best in the world,” an employee brags, promising that “at the end of the week, you will be an entirely different person.”  Of course, there’s an underlying dark theme throughout.  “Everyone who comes to Thailand, they’re either hiding from someone or looking for someone,” says an employee, as the camera shifts to a quick glimpse of Walton Goggins’ character studying a photo.

We also see Parker Posey, Natasha Rockwell, who returns as spa manager Belinda, Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan and Leslie Bibb, among others.

Season 3 premieres Feb. 16 on HBO
